Your Mission

Stronghold is growing, and we're searching for a talented GIS Manager to lead and expand our geospatial capabilities. In this role, you'll own the strategy, standards, and execution of GIS operations across a fast-moving, multi-disciplinary team — while remaining a hands-on contributor yourself. The ideal candidate brings both the technical depth to do the work and the leadership instincts to build the function. You thrive in an entrepreneurial environment, can balance big-picture thinking with detail-level quality, and are energized by building something that matters from the ground up.

Key Responsibilities – What You'll Own

• GIS Function Leadership: Build, lead, and develop a high-performing GIS team, establishing workflows, quality standards, and capacity planning to support Land, Engineering, and Geological teams across multiple U.S. basins.


• Hands-On Geospatial Delivery: Remain an active contributor — producing and QC'ing maps, conducting spatial analysis, and stepping in on complex or high-priority deliverables alongside your team.


• Analytical Oversight: Direct and perform analysis of horizontal wellbores and drilling units to determine participation using acreage allocation and lateral length allocation methods.


• Standards and Governance: Own coordinate system standards, spatial accuracy protocols, QC processes, and documentation — ensuring consistency and reliability across all geospatial outputs.


• Cross-Functional Partnership: Collaborate with and communicate across multiple disciplines including Land, Engineering, and Geology to troubleshoot issues, remove blockers, and drive operational efficiency.


• Regulatory Intelligence: Research, interpret, and apply state-specific oil and gas regulations, spacing rules, and unitization requirements — and ensure your team is equipped to do the same.


• Data Integrity: Oversee the maintenance and ongoing accuracy of the land grid, ensuring discrepancies are identified and resolved systematically.

Qualifications – What You Bring

• A Bachelor's degree in Geography, GIS, or a related discipline.


• 5–8+ years of GIS experience


• Deep proficiency with the ArcGIS suite and related products.


• A hands-on approach — comfortable setting direction at the team level and diving deep into the technical details when the work demands it.


• Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities and deliver results in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.


• Strong communication skills with the ability to translate technical geospatial concepts for non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications – What Sets You Apart

• Previous experience supporting Land teams in the upstream Oil and Gas sector is strongly preferred.


• 2+ years in a lead or supervisory role.


• Familiarity with property legal terminology, including Deed plot and the Public Land Survey System (PLSS).


• Experience building or scaling a GIS function — not just contributing to one.


• A player-coach mentality: you lead by doing, not just directing.
