As a natural outcome of our large and diverse portfolio of timberland, portions of our land have the potential for generating value above timber production. Strategic Land Solutions teams are responsible for capturing value through acquisitions and divestitures of real estate and development assets, construction materials, and by creating value through renewable energy and other natural climate solutions. Specifically, the Land Asset Management (LAM) team identifies and, in conjunction with other Strategic Land Solutions functions, realizes value premiums above timberland through the sale of properties for recreation, development, conservation, and other higher-and-better-use opportunities.

The ideal candidate enjoys collaboration, is self-driven, and excels at solving unstructured problems. They appreciate building consensus across business lines, can influence others without direct authority, and are willing to make tough or unpopular decisions when appropriate.
