Land Administrator

Pay: Up to $80/hour

Overview

Handshake is looking for upstream land and accounting professionals to support AI research through flexible, hourly contract work. This is not a traditional job. You'll draw on your hands-on experience with land administration, mineral title, and upstream accounting workflows to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI better understand upstream land management and accounting practices.

This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity that can be done alongside research, teaching, postdoctoral work, or industry employment.

You will be asked to complete real work tasks — such as building price forecast models or developing PPA documentation — in a structured, project-based format.

• Fully remote with a flexible, asynchronous schedule and no minimum hour requirement; most contributors work approximately 5–20 hours per week when participating in an active project.

• Placement depends on current project needs, with opportunities to be considered for future projects as they become available.

Qualifications

• At least 2 years of professional experience in upstream land administration or accounting, in roles such as:

  • Landman or Senior Landman

  • Revenue Accountant, JIB Analyst, or Royalty Owner Analyst

  • Or equivalent roles in the oil and gas industry
