About the role

YourStory runs the Nucleus AI content desk — a system that combines AI tools with human execution to produce timely, high-quality content. We're hiring an AI Content Executive to be the human hands on this pipeline: someone who can pick up an assignment, use our AI tools to research and draft it, add visuals, and get it publish-ready fast.

If you're excited about working with AI daily, love the pace of a newsroom, and take pride in getting things right the first time, this role is for you.

What you'll do day-to-day

Use AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity) to research the topic
Draft the article using our existing templates and prompt frameworks
Generate relevant images using AI image tools (Midjourney / DALL-E / Ideogram)
Do basic image editing and layout work in Canva
Fact-check every claim in the AI-generated draft against primary sources before submitting
Submit publish-ready drafts within these turnaround times:

Breaking news: 30 minutes
Trend pieces and short explainers: 1–2 hours
Longer explainers and features: same day

Monitor news and social platforms during your shift to flag trending topics
Incorporate editor feedback quickly and cleanly
Be responsive during major news cycles (defined shift hours, not 24/7)

What we're looking for

Must have

Strong written English — clean grammar, tight sentences, no fluff
Comfort with AI tools (you've used ChatGPT / Claude regularly and know how to prompt)
Ability to work fast without sacrificing accuracy
Basic Canva skills (resizing, text overlays, simple layouts)
Strong fact-checking instinct — you don't trust AI output blindly
Willingness to work in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment

Nice to have

1-2 years in digital media, journalism, or content writing
Portfolio of published work (blog posts, articles, newsletters — anything shows you can write)
Basic understanding of what makes a good headline
Experience with AI image generation tools
Curiosity about how AI content workflows are built (not required to be technical — just interested in learning)
