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 1.5 million subscribers and convening more than 100,000 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 hyperlocally.

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 their beats and have the opportunity to work on long-term special projects of national or international significance.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• 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.
• Writing roughly seven articles a week of varying lengths and types.
• Covering breaking news and deeper enterprise reporting across the commercial real estate industry in the U.S. and internationally.
• Infiltrating the CRE industry — turning arcane data into useful and entertaining information while maintaining personal relationships with lots of leads and sources.
• Source up and leverage those relationships into unique story ideas. Be prepared to assist local reporters on national and local sources.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

• At least two years of business journalism experience covering commercial real estate, urban and community planning, and/or urban design. (Current contacts within CRE are a huge plus.)
• Great writing skills.
• Excellent news judgment.
• The personality of a self-starter and must be a thoughtful and articulate writer who is interested in building his or her voice and journalistic brand on Bisnow.com.
• A commitment to seeking diverse stories and sourcing.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?

• Competitive compensation structure!
• Medical, Dental and Vision Insurance - effective the 1st of the month following your start date.
• Short and Long Term Disability Insurance - this includes maternity and paternity leaves as well. 
• 401K 
• Flexible Spending Account
• Dependent Care Account
• Health Savings Account
• Unlimited Vacation Days
• 7 days paid sick leave
• 9 paid Holidays
• Referral Bonus Program
• 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).

$65,000 - $70,000 a year

Before applying, please read our values below. Our values describe and give insight into our culture. If you do not share the same values, this role will not be a mutually beneficial fit. If you do share these values and want to apply, we encourage you to do so. 

Our values demand that we be curious, self-aware, fearless, consistent. We say yes to seemingly insurmountable challenges because we dare ourselves to push further. And we go the distance because we are individually and collectively entrepreneurial, always asking: Why can’t it be done? We find a way because we care more than the competition. We embrace team and disown ego. We are ruthlessly disciplined and unabashedly kind. We unreservedly challenge the status quo and vigorously fight for new levels of excellence. We believe the difference between good and great is exceptional communication. We obsess over creating value for our team and our customers. We push ourselves and our industry to be more inclusive, to champion diversity and to fight racism, gender bias and all forms of inequality. We never peak. We never quit. We never have excuses. We own our failures and we commit to being smarter and stronger because of them. We give our best today and even better tomorrow. We are here to win.
