With markets in Chicago, Boston, Phoenix, Seattle, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, and South Florida — and more on the horizon — we’re committed to informing, inspiring, and elevating the real estate industry.

The Role:

We’re looking for a Chicago-based, driven, detail-oriented Managing Editor to lead the editorial team across all markets. The ideal candidate is equal parts editorial visionary and production powerhouse — someone who thrives on storytelling, deadlines, and high standards. This role requires a collaborative leader who can manage writers and editors, oversee print and digital content calendars, and maintain our brand voice while pushing for innovation and engagement.

Responsibilities:

• Oversee the editorial production of all print magazines and digital content across markets
• Manage a team of writers, editors, freelancers, and contributors
• Assign, edit, and occasionally write articles that resonate with a professional real estate audience
• Own the editorial calendar and ensure timely, accurate, and on-brand delivery of content
• Collaborate with design, sales, and events teams to align editorial with broader company goals
• Maintain consistency in tone, quality, and style across all platforms
• Stay up to date on industry trends and news to drive fresh, relevant content
• Lead editorial planning meetings and track performance metrics for digital content

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of editorial experience, preferably in B2B, lifestyle, or niche publishing
• 2+ years of team management experience
• Strong editing and writing skills, with an eye for clarity, voice, and AP style
• Experience in print magazine production and digital publishing platforms (e.g. WordPress)
• Exceptional project management and organizational skills
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
• Passion for storytelling and an interest in real estate, business, or design is a plus

What We Offer:

• A creative, collaborative work environment
• Remote work schedule with a central Chicago office
• Health Insurance
• Generous PTO and paid holidays
• Opportunities for career growth as we expand into new markets

How to Apply:

Send your resume, a cover letter explaining why you’re a great fit, and 2-3 writing or editing samples to marci@agentpublishing.com. We’re excited to meet storytellers who want to shape the voice of real estate media.
