Editor, Real Estate Deals

Lead the editorial development of a transactions intelligence platform that sits at the intersection of original journalism and one of the most substantial proprietary deal databases in institutional private real estate.

The platform forms part of a suite of specialist titles covering the full arc of private real estate capital, from equity formation and strategy through to debt and deployment. This role focuses squarely on the investment side: tracking where institutional capital is moving, at what scale, and into what assets. The platform already has strong foundations in its data infrastructure and reporting team. What it needs now is an editor with the editorial authority and deal-market instincts to shape its voice and raise its standing among investors, fund managers, and advisors who operate at the top of the market.

You will set the editorial agenda, lead a small team of reporters, and take ownership of how the platform deploys its data assets to generate original, market-moving journalism. There is real scope to build something distinctive: a coverage model that combines the immediacy of transaction news with the analytical depth that a rich proprietary dataset makes possible.

This person could be based in either New York or London.

Key responsibilities

• Set and drive the editorial agenda across institutional real estate capital deployment globally
• Develop data-led editorial formats, drawing on a proprietary database of real estate transactions to generate insight and analysis
• Manage and mentor a team of reporters, maintaining editorial standards and supporting professional development
• Build and deepen sourcing relationships across institutional investors, fund managers, asset managers, and advisors active in private real estate
• Collaborate with editorial teams across sister titles and with in-house research and analytics functions

Key requirements

• A strong background in financial or specialist business journalism, proximity to private real estate, real assets, or institutional investment markets is advantageous

• The instincts to break exclusive news alongside the editorial judgment to develop longer-form, data-informed analysis
• Experience managing reporters, or a clear and demonstrable track record that positions you well for a first editorial leadership role
• A solid understanding of institutional private markets and the mechanics of real estate deal-making across strategies and geographies

• The ability to extract editorial value from large transaction datasets, turning structured data into sharp, relevant storytelling.
