GIS Manager

We're partnering with a national organisation at the forefront of environmental data, resource management, and digital mapping and they're looking for a hands-on GIS Manager with deep experience across ESRI Enterprise and ArcGIS platforms.

This isn't a role for someone who just oversees the work you'll be in the map trenches, designing, building, and optimising GIS systems that drive smarter decision-making across field operations, forestry, and environmental management programs.

What you'll be doing

• Lead and manage the organisations enterprise GIS environment (ESRI Enterprise / ArcGIS Online / Portal).
• Oversee data management, spatial analysis, and integration with business systems.
• Support operational teams with high-quality mapping, analytics, and spatial insights.
• Develop and maintain GIS applications, tools, and dashboards for internal and external stakeholders.
• Collaborate with field teams, environmental scientists, and IT to streamline spatial data capture and reporting.
• Provide technical leadership and mentor GIS analysts and spatial data specialists.

What we're looking for

• Strong hands-on expertise in ESRI Enterprise and ArcGIS ecosystem (ArcGIS Server, Portal, Pro, Online).
• Proven experience in managing GIS environments and spatial databases (SQL Server, PostGIS, or similar).
• A strong understanding of spatial data integration, automation, and APIs (Python / ModelBuilder / FME desirable).
• Experience leading GIS strategy and governance while still being comfortable on the tools.
• Background in forestry, natural resource management, or environmental sectors highly desirable.
• Excellent stakeholder engagement skills and the ability to translate technical insight into business impact.

Why you'll love it

• Work with cutting-edge spatial technology and data platforms.
• Flexibility to work from home with occasional travel to field sites.
• Supportive, close-knit culture that values innovation and autonomy.

If you're a GIS professional who loves being both strategic and hands-on and you thrive when your maps, make a real-world difference we'd love to hear from you.
