As a Business Manager on the Business Management Portfolio Services team, you will own and evolve landowner and community engagement activities across a portfolio of operating assets while also playing a key role in advancing land focused initiatives and technology-enabled processes. This role blends traditional landowner management with process optimization, financial acumen, data visibility, and cross-functional coordination, ensuring our team operates more efficiently, consistently, and  will serve as a bridge between field execution and strategic transformation, helping implement new tools, improve workflows, and elevate how we manage land-related activities across the portfolio.

• Translate business needs into clear requirements for tools and reporting.

• Strong understanding of land agreements, easements, and stakeholder management.
