About the Role
Purple Land Management (PLM) is seeking a Project Land Manager who can lead complex title and acquisition projects from kickoff through delivery — balancing client goals, team performance, and operational execution.
This role is designed for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, sees the whole board, and knows how to connect people, process, and data. You’ll manage teams across varied experience levels, work-types, and geographies, coordinate subject-matter experts and title reviewers, and partner with senior leadership to keep delivery on time, on budget, and on brand.
Your job isn’t to be the best title examiner in the room — it’s to build the environment where every land professional can do their best work.
Key Responsibilities
- Plan and deliver land projects from kickoff through completion, ensuring clear timelines, budgets, and deliverables.
- Translate complexity — convert title progress, lease status, and GIS data into client-ready reporting and executive updates.
- Direct and support landmen, associate landmen, and subject matter experts, keeping work aligned through Purple’s systems (Landboss, Reach360, Slack, G-Suite, and Overdrive).
- Identify blockers early and coordinate the right people to maintain project momentum.
- Track quality and efficiency through data dashboards, QC feedback, and performance logs.
- Partner with senior leadership on staffing, scope changes, and client communications.
- Support business growth by maintaining client satisfaction and identifying opportunities for additional scopes or phases.
Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in land, title, or acquisitions with demonstrated project coordination responsibilities
- Proven ability to manage teams, priorities, and deadlines in a fast-paced environment
- Excellent organization, communication, and analytical skills
- Fluency in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, and document management tools
- Ability to work effectively with diverse contributors and experience levels
Preferred Qualifications (Not Required)
- Bachelor’s degree in Energy Management, Land Management, or related field
- AAPL membership (RPL or CPL a plus)
- Prior experience with operators, brokers, or consultancies managing multiple active projects
- Familiarity with GIS systems or deed plotting tools
What Success Looks Like
- Projects delivered on time and within scope
- Teams operating smoothly within Purple’s systems — not outside them
- Clients consistently updated and confident in project progress
- Landmen describe your leadership as organized, fair, and steady under pressure
