Full-time jobs in Austin, TX

About the role

Gigawatt-scale solar-plus-storage needs land at a scale few developers have ever assembled, bought outright and often from ranches, family trusts and heirs who don’t sell on a broker’s timeline. As Real Estate Strategy & Acquisitions Lead, you own TAR’s land function end to end: strategy, sourcing, structuring, negotiation, diligence and closing. The playbook for buying land at this pace doesn’t exist yet. You will write it. We’re looking for an acquisitions mind, ideally from real estate private equity, an acquisitions team or infrastructure investing, who finds the deal behind the deal: an option instead of a purchase, a phased close, seller financing, a JV with the landowner. You start as a hands-on dealmaker and build the land team as volume grows.

What you'll bring

• 3+ years in real estate acquisitions, real estate private equity, infrastructure investing or land development, with a record of deals you led and closed.
• A track record of large or complex transactions: multiple parties, unusual structures or hard-to-reach sellers.
• Strong underwriting and financial modeling: you can build a deal model and defend a price.
• Creative problem solving: when the obvious deal isn’t there, you reframe the problem and find another way to the goal.
• Clear, direct communication and the ability to build trust with rural landowners, local stakeholders and leadership alike.
• Drive and organization to run many deals at once without anything slipping.
• Willingness to travel.
• Fluency with AI and productivity tools.
• Ability to work from Austin, Texas.
• Rural, ranch or large-acreage land deals
• Experience acquiring or leasing land for energy, transmission or data center projects.
• Familiarity with Texas land records, mineral and surface rights, and easements.
