[Remote] Land Advisor & Program Manager

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Linton Co is a Tampa-based hospitality company whose Ferncrest brand operates a glamping franchise. The Land Advisor & Program Manager leads Land Navigator engagements, owning client delivery, feasibility and site-planning presentations, team coordination, analyst direction, land sourcing, risk tracking, and handoffs to development or franchise teams.

Responsibilities

• Own delivery on as many as 20 concurrent clients at a time at staggered phases, from kickoff through final Site Plan Deck
• Run client calls across the Land Navigator process: market research, feasibility, and site planning
• Present market research, competitor sets, and land feasibility findings directly to clients
• Build the weekly deliverables, including market research briefs, feasibility decks, and site planning materials
• Coordinate Linton Co team members into each engagement: schedule them with clients at the right phase, brief them beforehand, and capture their input into the deliverables
• Direct a data analyst’s research so market pulls, comps, zoning, and site data are ready before they hit a client deck
• Run the FIND path: screen parcels (county GIS, zoning overlays, flood maps), source listings, and keep the client portal current as new land comes in
• Track the full client roster and flag risk, delay, or scope creep early
• Know when a question belongs to a licensed engineer, attorney, permitting office, or lender, and get the client there
• Where a client is franchise-ready, set up a clean handoff to our development and franchise team; where they’re not, close the engagement well
• Improve the playbook as you go: deliverable templates, the analyst’s research checklist, the 12-week cadence, and case-study material for our marketing team

Skills

• A confident presenter who can walk a landowner or prospective franchisee through a feasibility deck without sounding like they're reading a script
• Willing to tell a client their land doesn't work
• A natural project manager: comfortable pulling senior people into a process, keeping them on schedule, and turning their input into a finished product
• Comfortable turning dataset-heavy research (ADR, comps, zoning, demographics) into a clear, decision-ready story
• Organized enough to run 20 engagements in parallel, each at a different phase, without losing track of a deliverable
• Comfortable directing an analyst's workload and holding the output to a standard
• Background in outdoor hospitality or glamping consulting, real estate brokerage, hospitality development, or urban and land-use planning
• 3 to 8 years of professional experience in consulting, real estate, planning, or hospitality
• We're prioritizing candidates based in Tampa, FL — or willing to relocate — but we'll consider hybrid-remote candidates who can travel to Tampa as needed
• Has built or reviewed a feasibility study or pro forma for a hospitality, RV, or campground asset
• Familiarity with STR data platforms (AirDNA, Key Data), county GIS and parcel tools (Regrid, LandGlide), and building decks in Gamma or Google Slides

Benefits

• Hybrid-remote work considered for candidates who can travel to Tampa as needed
