  • Writing roughly six articles a week of varying lengths and types, and producing weekly newsletters and daily morning briefs.
  • Covering breaking news and deeper enterprise reporting in Boston’s commercial real estate industry.
  • Working a beat, traveling around the Boston area covering the latest trends, personalities and news related to the commercial real estate industry.
  • Infiltrating the CRE industry — turning arcane data into useful and entertaining information while maintaining personal relationships with lots of leads and sources.
  • Having an intimate knowledge of Boston’s CRE business — knowing where the major players are located, what deals they are responsible for and what events they attend.
  • Working with the global news teams on major projects and national series.
  • Working with a local team of event producers and sales representatives to assist in the content of events.

REQUIREMENTS:

  • Great writing skills.
  • Excellent news judgment.
  • Digital experience and at least two years of experience in business journalism.
  • 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.
  • Must have ability to travel around the Boston area, and must have availability to attend monthly in-person 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.
