Position Overview

The Senior Land Acquisition Analyst (SLAA) identifies and supports the evaluation and acquisition of residential land opportunities that advance Windsongs long-term growth and investment objectives. This position focuses on disciplined Competitive Market Analyses (CMAs) and other data-driven methodologies to ensure that each proposed community aligns with the companys brand, customer, and profitability goals.

The SLAA supports all aspects of opportunity sourcing, underwriting, and due diligence leading up to community handoff, working in close coordination with the Community Planning Manager and the Director of Land A&D to ensure seamless transition from early feasibility to community planning and launch readiness. The position is also responsible for establishing and improving standardized systems for CMAs and deal-specific pro formas that inform both acquisition decisions and ongoing market positioning, supporting consistent, data-driven evaluation and ensuring that multiple investment opportunities can be fairly compared for equity allocation.

This role plays a direct part in implementing Windsongs five-year plan to double in size by developing scalable processes and disciplined investment systems that balance growth with return on investment. As the company expands, the position may contribute across multiple functions during Windsongs growth phase, working flexibly across responsibilities while overhead grows thoughtfully in step with NOI performance.

  • Coordinate with the Controller / FP&A Director to maintain consistent modeling standards and key financial assumptions.
  • Evaluate opportunity cost among multiple projects competing for limited equity to guide strategic investment.
  • Prepare acquisition summaries, financial models, and supporting documentation for internal review and presentation by the Director of Land A&D to the Land Committee (CEO, COO, and CFO), with supporting documentation for final approval.

  • Continuously maintain two large-format submarket wall maps that display CMA boundaries and the locations of potential, pending, and existing deals, ensuring that one map is current in the Land offices and the other in the COOs office.

  • Cross-Department Coordination

  • Work collaboratively with the Community Planning Manager and Director of Sales & Marketing to align early planning, amenities, and market positioning.
