AP looking for an assistant biz editor

The Associated Press Business News Department seeks an assistant business editor for its headquarters in New York City.

Business News assistant business editors work closely with the deputy business editor and business editor and must be team players. AP Business News is committed to excellence, and assistant business editors are instrumental in driving continuous improvement.

Applicants must have at least five years of high-level management experience.
