Job Description

Director of Land Development

Location: Dallas, TX or New York, NY

Harper Harrison has been retained by a rapidly expanding data infrastructure platform, backed by one of the most respected real estate development firms in the U.S. They are seeking an accomplished Director of Land Development to lead ambitious land acquisition and development strategies for mission-critical data center assets.

As a key member of the leadership team, you will steward site selection and entitlement processes, optimize regulatory pathways, and drive partnership strategies that accelerate the delivery of hyperscale and enterprise data center projects nationwide.

What You’ll Own

  • Lead the end-to-end lifecycle of new data center site development — from market evaluation and site identification through entitlement, permitting, and commissioning.
  • Negotiate complex land transactions, entitlements, utility agreements, and zoning approvals.
  • Develop and execute strategies for securing power, fiber, water, and other critical infrastructure.
  • Build and sustain strong relationships with regulatory agencies and community stakeholders to streamline approvals.
  • Lead external advisors, including brokers, legal counsel, and environmental specialists.
  • Identify new markets and deliver data-informed recommendations that contribute to expansion planning.

Who You Are

  • 5–10+ years of demonstrated experience in land development with a focus on large-scale infrastructure or mission-critical facilities.
  • A strong track record of negotiating complex agreements and navigating zoning and permitting landscapes.
  • Experienced in securing essential utilities (power, water, fiber) at scale.
  • Travel as needed to support site evaluation and project milestones.

Why This Opportunity Matters

This is a highly strategic role for an organization with a multi-billion-dollar development pipeline , positioning you at the forefront of digital infrastructure growth. You’ll help define how and where future technology ecosystems take root while working alongside top professionals across real estate, engineering, and construction disciplines.
