SiteMedia is home to STOREYS, Canada’s premier real estate news publication. We cover daily market news, development, economics, industry reports, and residential real estate for a growing B2B audience. We have an opening for an Editor to join the STOREYS team, based out of our Toronto or Abbotsford office. This role will be responsible for owning the publication’s voice, output, and direction. In practice, that means writing and publishing daily real estate news, generating your own story ideas, and managing the editorial calendar. You’ll curate and dispatch the STOREYS newsletter, oversee social content across platforms, and lead large-scale editorial projects. You’ll also play a key editorial role in high-profile industry events and webinars. So what kind of person fits the role? Someone who genuinely loves real estate and development news and can't help but notice a good story everywhere they look. A person who moves fast without cutting corners, who takes pride in both the craft of the headline and the depth of the analysis behind it. Someone who's comfortable being the face of a publication and building relationships that keep them ahead of the news cycle, not chasing it.
