About The Position

Bisnow is seeking a seasoned, sharp Editor to help lead, report, and build its commercial real estate news operations. The newsroom covers commercial real estate alongside politics, sports, entertainment, business, technology, and other topics, combining breaking news, analytical enterprise reporting, and accountability journalism.

The role is remote with no office requirement, but the reporter must be based in San Francisco.
