What you'll do

At Keesing Media Group, AI is reshaping how we create, design and produce the puzzles and content that millions of people enjoy every day. At Keesing, craft always comes first. Our puzzles are made with care and expertise, and AI is here to support the people who make them, never to replace the quality and creativity our readers expect. As our AI Editorial & Creative Lead, you're the one who turns that potential into practice, always in service of the craft. You spot the developments that matter, translate them into hands-on use cases, and help our international editorial, puzzle, design and studio teams work smarter, faster and more creatively. Reporting to the CTO, you operate at the heart of our International Editorial organization. It's a role for someone who genuinely bridges two worlds: the editorial craft of quality content and the technical possibilities of Generative AI. You won't just advise from the sidelines, you'll build, test, train and inspire.
