The posting

We are seeking an experienced Director of Land to lead a portfolio of land services projects, client relationships, and project teams across the United States.

The Director of Land is a senior leadership position responsible for operational performance, client success, financial results, and talent development. This individual oversees multiple Project Land Managers and serves as a strategic partner to clients, company leadership, and business development efforts.

Success in this role requires a balance of leadership, business acumen, client relationship management, operational oversight, and land industry expertise. While a strong understanding of land services is essential, the primary responsibility is leading people, projects, and client relationships—not performing day-to-day land work.

PLM supports clients across oil and gas, carbon capture, direct lithium extraction, renewable energy, telecommunications, infrastructure, and other land-intensive industries.

Responsibilities

  • Serve as the executive sponsor and senior relationship manager for assigned client accounts.
  • Develop and maintain trusted relationships with client stakeholders and decision-makers.
  • Ensure client expectations are understood, communicated, and consistently achieved.
  • Lead strategic client discussions regarding project objectives, staffing needs, scope changes, and future opportunities.
  • Support business development efforts, proposals, and account growth initiatives.
  • Partner with company leadership to strengthen client retention and long-term partnerships.
  • Oversee a portfolio of projects across multiple clients, service lines, and geographic regions.
  • Ensure projects are appropriately staffed, supported, and managed.
  • Monitor operational performance, project health, utilization, quality metrics, and client satisfaction.
  • Identify operational risks and implement corrective actions when necessary.
  • Establish and promote scalable processes, standards, and best practices.
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives across the organization.
  • Directly lead, coach, and develop Project Land Managers and other operational leaders.
  • Establish clear performance expectations and accountability measures.
  • Support recruiting, hiring, succession planning, and workforce development efforts.
  • Identify and develop future leaders within the organization.
  • Foster a culture of professionalism, accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
  • Maintain accountability for project portfolio performance and profitability.
  • Participate in budgeting, forecasting, resource planning, and financial reviews.
  • Monitor project margins, staffing utilization, and operational efficiency.
  • Support pricing strategy, project estimates, and resource allocation decisions.
  • Balance client satisfaction, quality, and financial performance in operational decision-making.
  • Partner with executive leadership to support organizational goals and growth initiatives.
  • Provide insight into industry trends, market opportunities, client needs, and operational challenges.
  • Help shape company policies, processes, service offerings, and strategic priorities.
  • Serve as a leader and role model for PLM's values, culture, and professional standards.

Required Qualifications

  • 10+ years of experience in land services, energy, infrastructure, engineering, environmental consulting, real estate, or another project-based professional services environment.
  • 5+ years of leadership experience managing projects, teams, clients, or business operations.
  • Demonstrated success leading managers, supervisors, or other leaders.
  • Experience managing client relationships, budgets, staffing, and operational performance.
  • Strong business, financial, leadership, and organizational skills.
  • Exceptional communication, relationship-building, and decision-making abilities.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience leading multi-disciplinary project teams in a professional services environment.
  • Experience managing project portfolios or business units.
  • Experience supporting business development, account management, or strategic growth initiatives.
  • AAPL membership preferred.
  • RPL, CPL, PMP, MBA, or similar professional credentials are a plus.
  • Bachelor's degree preferred but not required.

Desired Characteristics

  • Strategic and business-minded.
  • Strong leader and developer of people.
  • Skilled relationship builder with clients and internal stakeholders.
  • Comfortable making decisions and holding others accountable.
  • Financially disciplined and operationally focused.
  • Adaptable, solutions-oriented, and execution-driven.
  • Able to balance competing priorities while maintaining a long-term perspective.
