Land Operations Manager

We’re a team of friends bound together by a mission to preserve our planet for future generations through innovative energy solutions and modern infrastructure. Intersect develops, constructs, and operates the most ambitious power and data center infrastructure in the country by co-locating industrial demand with dedicated gas and renewable power generation.

Intersect was acquired by Google in March 2026 and operates as an independent subsidiary. We are developing and constructing multiple gigawatts of energy and data center projects in the U.S., enabling more data center and generation capacity to come online faster. We’re on an aggressive growth trajectory and looking for people hungry to tackle the largest energy challenges on the planet.

We are currently looking for candidates located within 60 miles of any of the listed location.

We connect as a team at our Team Week experiences four times a year and at our recently established Hub locations - SF Bay Area, NYC Metro Area, NY;
Denver, CO;
Austin, TX;
Calgary, AB; and Toronto, ON.

As a Land Operations Manager on Intersect's Asset Management team, you'll build the processes, systems, and standards for our newly established Asset Land Management function while owning the day‑to‑day commercial management of land lease agreements, participating landowner relationships, and real property interests post‑execution. Carrying forward the commercial intent of each agreement from development through construction and into operations, you will personally handle lease administration, complex payment calculations, and obligation tracking across our utility‑scale clean energy portfolio while designing the operating model the function needs to scale.

Operating as a hands‑on working manager initially, you will establish the foundation for the function and ultimately hire, coach, and supervise a team of land analysts as the portfolio grows. Partnering closely with Development, Community Engagement, Construction, Legal, Finance, and Operations, you will ensure all land commitments remain compliant, executable, and aligned with our long‑term operational and financial objectives.

This team plays a critical role in advancing Intersect's mission to accelerate the clean energy transition by managing the commercial performance of our clean energy and data center power infrastructure projects. Acting as the owner‑side integrator, Asset Management translates complex commercial requirements into a scalable operating model that supports asset reliability and long‑run value. Joining this newly built department offers the opportunity to shape foundational tooling and workflows from the ground up while growing alongside collaborative experts dedicated to operational excellence.
