Job description

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 large‑scale development projects by driving high‑quality execution across complex real‑estate workstreams. You’ll manage due diligence, support negotiations, maintain accurate land data, and collaborate closely with Development, Permitting, Legal, and third‑party partners to keep projects advancing on schedule. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity, pivots quickly with shifting priorities, and turns strategic objectives into timely, actionable progress.

Team Overview

This team plays a critical role in advancing Intersect’s mission to accelerate the renewable energy transition by identifying, securing, and managing the land positions that underpin our large‑scale project portfolio. The team partners extensively across Development, Permitting, Legal, Project Finance, and external stakeholders to ensure projects have the real estate foundations needed to advance efficiently. Joining this team means shaping high‑impact projects from the ground up while growing your expertise in a fast‑paced, collaborative environment.

What You’ll Do

Drive Land Evaluation and Site Control

• Lead key stages of the land acquisition process—from early due diligence through securing and closing site control agreements.
• Resolve title, survey, and ownership complexities to maintain project timelines.
• Prepare and support land acquisition budgets and materials for leadership review.

Support High‑Quality Agreement Negotiations

• Partner with internal and external legal teams to support negotiations for leases, purchases, easements, surface waivers, and other real‑estate agreements.
• Track agreement progress through established workflows and ensure timely execution.
• Coordinate with field teams to maintain alignment between agreement terms and on‑the‑ground realities.

Strengthen Third‑Party Land Agent Performance

• Support the management of third‑party land agents and document specialists to ensure communication consistency, documentation quality, and adherence to project standards.
• Provide guidance that helps external partners move efficiently and accurately.

Manage Data Integrity and Insights

• Maintain accurate land‑related data across tracking systems and tools.
• Audit information regularly to ensure completeness and reliability.
• Create clear analytical summaries for internal stakeholders to drive decision‑making.
• Work closely with Development and Permitting teams to keep land acquisition aligned with project schedules and permitting requirements.
• Contribute to cross‑functional process improvements that enhance efficiency and data integrity.
• Provide ongoing support to Managers and Directors across assigned regional projects.

What You’ll Bring

• A bachelor’s degree in Real Estate Management, Finance, Economics, or a related field.
• 2+ years of experience in real estate development or acquisition, preferably including work on large‑scale energy projects.
• Working knowledge of real estate agreements—including leases, easements, purchase agreements, and both surface and mineral rights.
• Experience managing multiple priorities under tight deadlines with strong organizational and project management skills.
• Familiarity with land or environmental policy and law.
• Proficiency with Google Suite (Docs, Sheets, Slides) and Slack.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to work independently, solve problems proactively, and maintain momentum across complex workstreams.
• Experience with Google Earth and GIS tools.
• A values‑driven approach and interest in contributing to large‑scale development that advances clean energy goals.
