Can you picture yourself leading the strategic development of the UK’s national Biodiversity Data repository, the NBN Atlas? This role combines ‘big picture’ strategic planning and stakeholder engagement with ‘hands on’ data management and analytics. At the NBN Trust, our mission is “making data work for nature”. If that resonates with you, this could be your perfect job. Come and join our small, friendly team and play a vital role in mobilising data to make a real difference for nature and the health of our planet.
The Biodiversity Data Manager role is currently funded to 31st March 2025 through Defra’s Natural Capital and Ecosystem Assessment Programme. However, we see the role as part of our core team, and we aim to secure funding to make it a permanent position.
We’re the UK charity dedicated to Biodiversity Data, and the NBN Atlas is our flagship. Bringing together terrestrial, marine and freshwater species data from 170 partners – NGOs, public agencies, academic bodies and businesses – the NBN Atlas is one of the world’s largest publicly accessible Biodiversity Data repositories. As the UK Node for the Global Biodiversity Information Facility, the NBN Atlas also connects us to a worldwide community of Biodiversity Data specialists.
Reporting to our CEO, the Biodiversity Data Manager will:
- Manage and lead the Biodiversity Data team.
- Engage with partners, stakeholders and customers.
- Produce and implement a Strategy and Route Map for the NBN Atlas.
- Represent the NBN Trust on specialist national and international groups and project boards.
- Join the NBN Trust Management Team, supporting the CEO with strategic planning, management and fundraising.
We’re a fully remote team, so you’ll work from home with some travel within the UK and potentially overseas. Applicants must be UK-based and eligible to work in the UK.
The NBN Trust is an equal opportunities employer and we're striving to create a diverse and inclusive team. If you’re interested in joining us, please read the Job Pack (which can be found on our careers page by clicking 'apply' on this advert) and get in touch if there’s anything you’d like to ask.
