Role Overview
AP seeks a strategic, collaborative and highly skilled communications professional to serve as Director of Newsroom Communications.

The Director will develop global communications strategies and materials that strengthen employee connection, elevate distinctive AP journalism, support newsroom leaders and help prepare the organization for sensitive or high-profile issues.
