A national builder recognized year in and year out for its quality construction and the opportunity it offers its employees has an opening for a high-level land acquisition executive. The Dallas-Fort Worth-based land acquisition manager will earn a competitive salary while working closely with leaders across this organization. As such, the job represents an ideal step up for an ambitious person who’s experienced in single-family land and who wants to further his or her career at a national company with decades in the industry.
The successful candidate will help find, evaluate and develop new communities in concert with the land development department, regional executives and division presidents. That will entail preparation of job budgets, financial analyses, market research, bid reviews, due diligence and pro-formas. This is a high-visibility position with responsibility for securing local approvals and managing relationships with a broad cross section of partner companies, vendors, planners and contractors. It is also a highly strategic position, with the successful candidate ensuring proposed developments fit regional and overall business plans.
To accomplish all this, the company seeks an ambitious person with considerable drive and the ability to manage competing demands on his or her time. In making decisions, candidates should demonstrate their ability to analyze big-picture implications while also tracking the day-to-day details that make for a successful build-out. Previous positions in homebuilding should bring experience with budgeting and handling legal documents. Management skills should include excellent written and interpersonal communication. Problem solving is critical.
