Head of Programs & Content

Location: US remote with significant travel
Reports to: CEO
Team: Manages one direct report; collaborates across a 9-person team

About PREA

The Pension Real Estate Association (PREA) is the leading global nonprofit association serving and educating the institutional real estate investment community. PREA curates the content, conversations, and connections that shape the industry, through world-class meetings, influential research, thought leadership, and member-driven programming.

Our members include the world’s most prominent institutional investors, investment managers and industry partners. PREA’s meetings, research and publications are where the global community comes together to exchange ideas, build relationships and stay ahead of the forces moving real estate markets.

The Opportunity

PREA is seeking a Head of Programs & Content to help shape how the industry experiences PREA, across meetings, research, editorial content, committees, affinities, and digital engagement.

This is a hands-on role with two main dimensions:

An internal, operational focus working alongside the CEO and PREA staff to plan and deliver programs
An external, member-facing focus engaging senior leaders across the industry.

PREA is seeking someone with strong editorial instincts, an understanding of institutional real estate and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, small-team environment. This role suits a mid-career professional ready to take ownership of major programs, work closely with the CEO and develop into a senior content strategist.

You will help ensure PREA delivers consistently excellent programming across a full annual calendar of meetings and member activities, while also elevating the visibility of PREA’s research, thought leadership and investor engagement initiatives.

This role also offers a unique career advantage: you will develop an unrivaled network of senior institutional investors and investment managers, gaining exposure and relationships that position you for a high-profile future in the industry.

Role Summary

The Head of Programs & Content is responsible for the development, coordination, and execution of PREA’s full programs and content ecosystem.

You will partner directly with the CEO to develop PREA’s flagship Spring and Fall Conferences, while taking leadership responsibility for other meetings and content initiatives throughout the year.

This role demands exceptional time management, strong communication skills, editorial capability and the ability to handle multiple overlapping deadlines with precision. You must be a proactive, enthusiastic team player who thrives in a small, highly collaborative environment.
