Legis1 is a political news company with a fresh approach. We combine structured data, artificial intelligence, and real editorial expertise to produce accurate, high-volume coverage of government, legislation, and elections. We're building something new — and we want great editors to help shape it.
POSITION
We are hiring a team of 7 junior editors on a consulting basis to help review, edit, and improve AI-generated political news content. This is a great entry point for someone early in their editing or journalism career who wants hands-on experience at the cutting edge of AI-assisted newsrooms.
You do not need to be a tech expert. You do need to care about accuracy, clear writing, and how government works.

Quality Control
- Follow editorial guidelines to make sure every story meets accuracy and style standards
- Help identify patterns in errors so the team can improve the AI's output over time
- Apply consistent standards across different story types (short briefs, summaries, reports)
Editorial Support
- Support senior editors with workflow tasks and content management
- Help maintain organized editorial queues in a fast-paced, high-volume environment
- Contribute feedback on what's working and what isn'tå
REQUIREMENTS
