Location & Team Gatherings

Intersect has been a fully flexible workplace since its founding in 2016. We’ve been very intentional about the way we do things. We are not work‑from‑home, hybrid, or in‑office – we are any and all of those options! Deepening social connections and offering shared experiences is a cornerstone of the way we work. We connect as a team at our Team Week experiences four times a year and at our recently established Hub locations – SF Bay Area, NYC Metro Area, NY; Denver, CO; Houston, TX; Calgary, AB; and Toronto, ON.

We are currently looking for candidates located within 60 miles of any of the listed hubs to foster more in‑person connections while maintaining our flexible remote culture.

About This Role

As part of Intersect’s Land Acquisition team, you’ll help secure site control for multiple large‑scale projects by navigating complex real estate workstreams with speed, accuracy, and strategic insight. You’ll collaborate across Development, Permitting, Legal, and field teams to translate evolving project needs into executed agreements that keep projects on track. This role demands agility, strong technical competency, and the ability to operate confidently amid ambiguity while maintaining high standards of data integrity and stakeholder communication.

Team Overview

This team plays a critical role in advancing Intersect’s mission to accelerate the clean energy transition by identifying, securing, and managing the land positions that enable our large‑scale projects to move forward. The work is highly cross‑functional, fast‑moving, and essential to project success. Team members gain deep exposure to land strategy, project development, real estate structures, and cross‑functional collaboration—developing skills that grow with the scale and impact of Intersect’s portfolio.

What You’ll Do

Lead Land Agreement Execution

• Support negotiation, preparation, and closing of land agreements—including leases, purchases, easements, surface waivers, and more
• Partner with internal and external legal teams to ensure documentation accuracy and timely routing through workflows
• Coordinate with field teams to ensure agreements are implemented and executed on schedule

Resolve Title & Survey Issues

• Lead key stages of land acquisition by identifying, assessing, and resolving title, mineral, and survey concerns
• Work with third‑party experts, internal counsel, and stakeholders to remove blockers and maintain project momentum

Manage Third‑Party Land Agents

• Support oversight of land agents and document specialists, reinforcing expectations for communication, data quality, and alignment with project standards
• Provide structured feedback and maintain consistent documentation of progress and performance

Maintain Data Accuracy & Reporting

• Manage land‑related data systems, ensuring accuracy through diligent tracking, auditing, and documentation
• Prepare analytical summaries for internal stakeholders and contribute materials for executive‑level presentations

Strengthen Cross‑Functional Alignment

• Collaborate with Development and Permitting Teams to align land acquisition timelines with project schedules and permitting requirements
• Contribute to process improvements that enhance efficiency, data integrity, and the effectiveness of the broader land function
• Provide targeted support to Managers and Directors on regional priorities and active project work

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Land Management, Finance, Economics, or a related field
• 2+ years of experience in real estate development or acquisition, ideally within energy or large‑scale infrastructure
• Strong understanding of real estate agreements—Surface and Mineral—including leases, easements, and purchase agreements
• Ability to adjust quickly to evolving project priorities and maintain momentum across multiple high‑priority workstreams
• Proven project management capabilities in fast‑paced, multi‑stakeholder environments
• Familiarity with land, environmental, or policy frameworks relevant to large‑scale development
• Proficiency with Google Suite (Docs, Sheets, Slides), Slack, Google Earth, and GIS tools
• Clear written and verbal communication, with the ability to distill complexity for diverse partners
• Self‑directed work style with strong problem‑solving instincts
• A passion for advancing clean energy development and contributing to long‑term project success

Total Rewards

• Compensation: $108,000- $118,000 (total compensation includes base salary + bonus in USD)
• Health & wellness: 100% premium coverage for you and your dependents on medical, dental, and vision
• Time to recharge: Unlimited PTO, plus two company‑wide breaks (Fourth of July & end of year)
