Job description

We are seeking a high-energy, collaborative and news-obsessed individual to join our growing editorial team! The perfect fit for this position will quickly master the Bisnow editorial process, can maintain and build relationships and will keep up with our fast-paced, high-pressure environment.

This position can sit anywhere in the United States, no office requirement.

BISNOW OVERVIEW

Bisnow is the commercial real estate industry's leading, vertically integrated B2B media platform, covering North America, Canada, the UK and Ireland. We serve the CRE industry through award-winning news and publications, renowned events, wide-ranging marketing services, specialized recruitment solutions, and intelligent sales enablement tools.

Our platform enables our audience to do more business by engaging more than 1.5M subscribers and convening more than 100K commercial real estate professionals every year. We host hundreds of events, publish thousands of thought-provoking stories, drive qualified leads, and create opportunities that make deals happen. At Bisnow, we love to think globally, but connect and inform our audience hyper-locally.

THE BISNOW NEWSROOM

We take the news seriously, blending hard news scoops with analytical enterprise stories and award-winning accountability journalism. Our newsroom is small but ambitious and strives to find creative ways to cover the commercial real estate industry. We hold a hard line between our news team and BISNOW’s sales and events arms, freeing our reporters to write heavy-hitting stories without fear of sponsor influence. Our reporters dive deep on a local beat but also have the opportunity to write stories for a national audience and work on long-term special projects of national or international significance.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Writing roughly three articles a week of varying lengths and types, and producing San Francisco Bay Area morning briefs three days a week.

Covering breaking news and deeper enterprise reporting on the commercial real estate industry.

The majority of the freelancer’s work will be national in scope, but they will also be responsible for some local coverage of the San Francisco Bay Area.

Writing coverage from all Bay Area events hosted by Bisnow, typically 1-2 per month, via recording.

Infiltrating the CRE industry — turning arcane data into useful and entertaining information while maintaining personal relationships with lots of leads and sources.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

Must have 2+ years of experience in real estate journalism.

Great writing skills.

Excellent news judgment.

Digital experience.

The personality of a self-starter. Must be a thoughtful and articulate writer who is interested in building his/her voice and journalistic brand on Bisnow.com.

A commitment to seeking diverse stories and sourcing.

Must have ability to travel around the Bay Area, and must have availability to attend/cover Bisnow-hosted events.

Though not required, it would be a plus if the candidate has knowledge of commercial real estate, urban and community planning and urban design, and especially contacts within those scenes.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?

Steady and reliable work. Our freelancers operate under monthly retainer models that provide consistent income.

Paid vacation.

You’ll get to work with incredibly smart, passionate, driven, ambitious, kind, caring and mindful people and will rarely experience an overload of policies, bureaucracy or toxicity (the latter, we do not tolerate).
