Managing Editor | Traded Real Estate

Traded is the leading media network for commercial real estate.

Our regional publications, including Traded New York, Traded Miami, Traded Los Angeles, Traded Chicago, Traded Boston, Traded South Florida, and more, are the industry's destination for breaking deals, market intelligence, development news, financing activity, and the people shaping the built environment.

Every month, millions of real estate professionals, developers, investors, lenders, brokers, architects, and executives consume Traded's content across social media, newsletters, editorial, and video.

We're building the future of real estate media.

The Role
We're looking for a Managing Editor who is genuinely terminally online.

Someone who refreshes LinkedIn before breakfast.

Someone who follows developers, architects, luxury brokers, institutional investors, lenders, city planning commissions, and urban development accounts because they actually enjoy it.

Someone who notices a $400M construction loan, a zoning approval, or a major assemblage before everyone else.

This isn't a traditional editor role.
This is equal parts journalist, researcher, content strategist, news editor, and media operator.

You'll oversee the daily editorial engine powering Traded's coverage across commercial real estate, luxury residential, development, architecture, hospitality, capital markets, and urban planning.

If you naturally consume real estate news all day and constantly think, "Why hasn't Traded posted this yet?", you'll fit right in.
