Our SelectLeaders client is a vertically integrated, merchant developer specializing in industrial construction. With 8 million sq. ft. currently under construction and a strong pipeline of site acquisitions, they are expanding aggressively across the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, and Florida.
Internally financed and controlling the full project lifecycle – from site acquisition to design, construction, and delivery – they offer unmatched speed to market. Their “ready‑to‑deploy” product provides a competitive advantage in today’s environment of supply chain disruptions and tariffs. Headquartered in New York, with factories in Pennsylvania and Georgia, they are building a high‑performance, entrepreneurial team of professionals making their mark in the industrial sector.
They are seeking a driven Land Acquisition Director to lead site sourcing and deal‑making in key U.S. markets. This is a hands‑on, market‑facing role for professionals who thrive on identifying opportunities, leveraging broker networks, structuring deals, and moving quickly. The ideal candidate combines entrepreneurial drive with industrial real estate expertise, tenant relationships, and the ability to manage the full cycle from land acquisition through development and leasing.
Key Responsibilities
Source and acquire industrial land sites across the East Coast
Build and maintain relationships with brokers, landowners, municipalities, and tenants
Structure, negotiate, and close land acquisition deals
Partner with internal teams on permitting, construction, and build‑to‑suit projects
Manage sites through construction and position them for leasing and/or sale
Leverage tenant and brokerage relationships to secure build‑to‑suit opportunities
Stay ahead of market trends and identify high‑potential industrial locations
Operate with a “hunter” mentality — proactively creating opportunities and closing deals
Qualifications
10+ years of experience in land acquisition, industrial development, or commercial real estate
Strong broker, tenant, and landowner relationships in industrial markets
Proven track record of sourcing and closing land/development deals
Entrepreneurial, hands‑on approach — comfortable “in the dirt” doing the work
Strong financial and deal‑structuring skills
Experience managing sites through construction and lease‑up
Competitive, driven, and motivated by upside and exponential growth opportunities
Compensation
$175k-$225k base salary plus commission incentive on deals.
Flexibility to work on multiple deals simultaneously
Entrepreneurial platform that allows successful professionals to act as developers within a well‑capitalized, vertically integrated company
