Description

The Role

We are looking for a Director of Acquisitions to lead and grow a team of five to ten A&D landmen and own the production and profitability of the acquisitions division. This is a player-coach seat. You will set sourcing strategy, mentor and develop the team, drive the division's results, and still carry select relationships and deals of your own. You will report directly to the Executive Team, share in the division's profit, and have real influence over how we build the portfolio.

What you'll do

• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of five to ten A&D landmen
• Own division-level production and profitability across acquisitions and divestitures
• Set sourcing strategy and basin and target prioritization
• Review and approve deal economics, pricing, and negotiation strategy
• Oversee acquisition and divestiture due diligence and title curative
• Recruit, onboard, and develop contractors, and guide their path to full-time conversion
• Maintain key owner and counterparty relationships and originate select deals personally
• Partner with leadership on portfolio strategy and capital allocation
• Report division pipeline, results, and P&L directly to the CEO

What we offer

• Competitive base salary and full employee benefits, including a 401(k) match
• A direct share of the acquisitions division's profit, so you participate in the upside of everything the division builds, not just your own deals
• Standard commission on the minerals you source personally, with no relationship split
• The tools and support to close: Enverus, Salesforce, and an in-house title, closing, and land team
• A principal buyer with the capital to close, not a broker waiting on outside money
• A direct line to the executive team and real influence over portfolio strategy and capital allocation

Requirements

Experience

• 7+ years in oil and gas land or A&D (10+ preferred), including direct mineral, royalty, and non-operated working interest transaction experience
• Prior team leadership, desk-lead, or strong mentorship experience, comfortable owning a division P&L
• Demonstrated track record of closing deals and of building or developing producers
• Strong title and valuation fundamentals and proven negotiation skills
• Bachelor's degree preferred; AAPL designation (RPL or CPL) a plus
• Comfortable owning results and reporting to ownership
