About the Role We’re looking for a
Senior Landman
who excels at deep title research and can bring structure, clarity, and repeatability to our mineral-rights title process. This is not a field acquisition or leasing role. It is a research-driven position focused on clean ownership analysis, and building the internal systems that let us scale nationally. We need someone that is part Sherlock Holmes and part Christian Wolff.
Key Accountabilities:
** Own Title Accuracy & Clarity.
Deliver complete, reliable title packages—clean chains of title, ownership reports, and clear risk identification—ensuring underwriting has decisive, accurate information every time.
** Resourceful & Connected.
You are a pro at digital research, but you know when to call for backup. You bring a rolodex of trusted field runners who can pull, scan, and email physical records from the courthouse when online databases don't go deep enough.
** Build Scalable Title Systems.
Develop and maintain SOPs, templates, workflows, and quality controls that standardize how Frontlands handles title across all states and assets.
** National Title Scope.
Proven ability to navigate diverse regulatory environments beyond Texas. We are looking for a Landman who understands the nuances of HBP, Pugh clauses, and forced pooling across the Permian, SCOOP/STACK, Bakken, and Marcellus basins.
** Drive Title Process Innovation.
Identify bottlenecks, deploy new tools, refine data structures, and introduce best practices that increase speed, reduce errors, and materially improve the quality and efficiency of the title function.
Manage Documentation & Reporting.
Retrieve and organize documents, coordinate with external partners, and keep all land records and status updates current, accurate, and actionable.
Qualifications More than 8 years of experience in mineral title research, title opinion review, due diligence. Strong command of Texas title conventions; multi-state experience preferred. Ability to interpret complex conveyances, fractionalized ownership, life estates, floating/fixed NPRIs, and multi-generation chains. Experience with curative actions and resolving ownership discrepancies. Proficiency with land management software, public records systems, and advanced Excel/Google Sheets. Highly organized, systems-oriented, and skilled at building repeatable processes. Bachelor’s degree in Land Management, Energy, Geology, Business, or related field; AAPL certifications preferred. Strong analytical, written, and verbal communication skills. Strong technology skills
