About Pheasant Energy

Founded in 2014, Pheasant Energy is a privately held energy company headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas. The company acquires mineral, royalty, and non-operated working interests across the major producing basins of the United States, pairing proprietary technology and disciplined underwriting with long-standing industry relationships to source and close transactions with speed and precision.

The same analytical rigor and entrepreneurial, fast-moving culture that have driven its growth since 2014 are what the company looks for in the people who join the team.

Description

The Role

We’re looking for an experienced A&D landman to source, negotiate, and help close oil and gas mineral, royalty, overriding royalty, and working-interest transactions, and to support sell-side divestitures. This is a deal-driven role for someone who knows how to generate their own opportunities, work with owners and counterparties, and carry a transaction from first contact through close. You’ll own your pipeline and approach while working on-site in Fort Worth alongside our acquisitions and land team, with the tools and support to close efficiently. This isn’t a script-and-dial phone room. It’s a seat for a dealmaker who wants to own outcomes.

What you’ll do

• Identify and source mineral, royalty, overriding royalty, and working-interest acquisition opportunities across target basins
• Build and manage your own pipeline, from lead generation through negotiation and closing
• Negotiate offers directly with mineral owners, sellers, and counterparties
• Support divestiture efforts, marketing, and selling interests to third parties at the company’s direction
• Source new leads and counterparties for both acquisition and divestiture activity
• Coordinate transactions with company-approved third parties and provide regular deal-status updates
• Provide support to the land and business development functions as needed

Education & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Petroleum/Energy Land Management, Business, Finance, Geology, or a related field preferred; equivalent industry experience will be considered in lieu of a degree
• 3+ years of oil and gas land or A&D experience, with direct involvement in sourcing, negotiating, and closing mineral, royalty, overriding-royalty, and/or non-operated working-interest transactions
• Demonstrated track record of closing deals, with a proven ability to take a transaction from first contact through close
• Solid landman fundamentals: ownership and title analysis, runsheets, and the ability to evaluate and value interests
• Familiarity with purchase-and-sale documentation and standard A&D workflow
• Proficiency with industry tools such as Enverus; experience with Salesforce or similar CRM is a plus
• AAPL designation (RL, RPL, or CPL) a plus
• Strong relationship-building and negotiation skills, with the confidence to deal directly with sophisticated mineral owners and counterparties

How we set you up to execute

• Company-provided tools and data, including Enverus and Salesforce, to source, evaluate, and track deals
• An in-house support team behind every transaction, including title, closing, and land support
• Fast pricing decisions and direct access to leadership on live dealsThe capital to close as a principal buyer, not a broker waiting on someone else’s money

What we offer

• A clear path from contract to employment: we hire from within, and team members who convert to full-time receive our full employee benefits
• Competitive, performance-based commission on closed transactions, paid promptly after closing under a defined, transparent schedule
• A growing book of business with a credible, repeat buyer active across the major U.S. basins
