Every map is only as good as the data underneath it. That data would be yours.

A multinational defence organisation in The Hague keeps a large estate of geospatial data,on its own servers and in the cloud, and a team of GIS experts who depend on it. It needs adata manager who keeps that estate clean, documented and ready to use. Fully on site, withfurther years of work expected after the first period.

What you would be doing

• Organising and maintaining geospatial datasets, metadata, geodatabases and spatialrepositories
• Running ingestion, transformation, validation and quality checks, and keeping versions andintegrity under control
• Supporting the GIS platforms on premises and in the cloud - backups, documentation,obsolescence and day-to-day fixes - with the IT colleagues who run them
• Doing the everyday spatial analysis, maps and standard products the teams ask for
• Taking part in project meetings and suggesting better ways to work with the data

What you would bring

• A degree in geospatial science or a related field plus two years' experience, or around sixyears of progressive hands-on work in the field
• At least two years of geospatial data management and of the ESRI suite, ArcGIS Pro inparticular, including mosaic datasets
• Real depth in coordinate systems, projections, metadata, vector and raster formats, anddata QA/QC
• Strong Excel, good analytical and organisational habits, and fluent business English
• Nice to have: ArcPy and ArcGIS Toolbox development, tile cache creation on common tilingschemes, and experience preparing data for defence systems and standards

Why this one is worth a look

A specialist seat in an international GIS team, with follow-on years already expected and astanding framework behind it.
