You do not just follow the news cycle. You read it before it becomes obvious. You know when a story is noise, when it is becoming a narrative, and when it deserves to be turned into a reel, a thread, or a sharp counter-take.
You are not here to “help with content.” You are here to own beats. You track sources daily. You verify fast. You write clean. You know how to make complex stories feel simple without making them shallow.
You are the person who can spot what everyone is talking about, what nobody is saying yet, and what AM:PM should say before the timeline gets bored.
About AM:PM
AM:PM is a VC-backed news platform built for short-form video, reels, and fast threads, for Gen Z and millennials who want to stay informed without sitting through a panel of five people agreeing with each other for 40 minutes. We go deep without going slow. We understand internet culture because we live in it, not because we read a report about it.
Why this role matters
AM:PM’s editorial engine needs speed, judgment, and ownership. Every beat needs someone who can source stories, verify claims, build context, find counter-perspectives, and turn the news into platform-native formats every day. You will not wait for stories to be assigned. You will own the beat, the research, the angle, and the quality of what moves forward.
What you will own
- Own 2 to 3 editorial beats and track them daily across mainstream, niche, creator-led, and platform-native sources
- Source 10+ relevant short-form videos, takes, or references per beat every 24 hours
- Identify mainstream narratives, counter-narratives, missing context, and contrarian but credible perspectives
- Verify claims against primary sources, credible secondary sources, official statements, reports, and trusted publications
- Write reel scripts, X threads, short posts, explainers, and briefing notes that are sharp, structured, and easy to consume
- Build and maintain sourcing trackers with links, creator names, rationale, labels, and verification notes
- Work with creators, editors, and the content team to move stories from research to production without losing accuracy or speed
Who you are
- 1 to 3 years of experience in editorial, journalism, research, content, news, social media, or digital publishing
- You can spot a story early, understand why it matters, and explain it clearly in 45 seconds or less
- You know how to verify claims and are uncomfortable publishing anything that sits on shaky ground
- You are fast, sharp, extremely online, and calm inside a messy news cycle
- Based in Mumbai or willing to relocate within commutable distance
This is a 0-to-1 journey. You will help build the editorial muscle of AM:PM from the inside. You will own stories before they become obvious. If that sounds like your kind of problem, drop your CV below or DM us.
