  • Coordinate with other editors at Curbed and across New York Magazine on visuals and social promotion for stories

What you'll bring

  • Deep knowledge of New York City and its real estate world
  • At least 3-5 years of experience as an editor, specifically covering NYC real estate, neighborhoods, and development
  • A track record of publishing smart, ambitious stories
  • Experience managing staff writers and working with a pool of freelancers
  • A passion for big picture thinking as well as rigorous and sharp line editing
