What are the responsibilities and job description for the Due Diligence Landman position at Flat River Minerals, LLC?
***NOT A REMOTE POSITION. DO NOT APPLY FOR REMOTE WORK.***
Opportunity Summary:
Flat River Minerals ("FRM") is a dynamic and growth-focused firm managing a diverse portfolio of mineral, royalty, and non-op assets. We are seeking a Due Diligence Title Landman to join our high-performing acquisitions team, specializing in title verification and ownership confirmation for parcels under contract. Unlike traditional title landman roles, this position is fast-paced, deadline-driven, and project-oriented, requiring high attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and proactive problem-solving.
With 10-30 deals under contract at a given time, each containing between 1-15 parcels, our Due Diligence Landmen act as project managers, overseeing their assigned deals from contract execution through closing. Successful candidates must manage their own schedules, collaborate with team members to address challenges, and ensure timely and accurate project completion. This role offers significant career growth potential within FRM, rewarding those who demonstrate excellence in efficiency, accuracy, and leadership.
Key Responsibilities:
Maintain close communication with the acquisition specialist who brought the deal under contract, providing timely updates on the status of due diligence.
Effectively communicate any title defects in a clear and actionable manner so the acquisition specialist can relay necessary information to the Seller.
Research county records and analyze relevant documents to determine surface and mineral ownership, chaining title within a parcel from patent to present using online databases of recorded documents.
Participate in high-pressure due diligence projects, ensuring thorough identification and flagging of potential title defects for further review by in-house experts and outside counsel.
Run and complete title chains in Tracts.co software (not in excel!) and record results in FRM's proprietary asset management software to ensure seamless transaction processing.
Oversee assigned deals as a project manager, from contract execution through closing, ensuring timely progress and issue resolution.
Manage deadlines proactively, adjusting priorities based on company needs and deal status.
Compensation Benefits:
Competitive salary based on experience
Comprehensive benefits package (medical, dental, vision, 401(k), etc.)
Performance-based incentives
Career advancement opportunities within a rapidly growing company
Required Qualifications:
2 years of experience running title in Appalachia
Associate’s degree or higher (waived with applicable experience)
Ability to meet firm deadlines daily and weekly based on changing company needs
Strong attention to detail and process-driven mindset
Proficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel and Word
Ability to quickly learn and apply new software technologies
Excellent communication, facilitation, and interpersonal skills
Self-motivated with high accountability
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to prioritize effectively
Energetic, team-oriented, and committed to shared ownership of project outcomes
