BISNOW seeks a San Francisco freelance reporter

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 must sit in the Bay Area remotely, no office requirement. The San Francisco Freelance Reporter must attend all Bay Area based events. (Typically 1-2 per month)

Key Responsibilities:

Writing roughly four articles a week of varying lengths and types, and producing daily morning briefs
Covering breaking news and deeper enterprise reporting in the Bay Area’s commercial real estate industry
Working a beat, traveling around the Bay 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 the Bay Area’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

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR:

2+ years of experience in business 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?

Competitive compensation structure, consistent monthly earnings
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)
