Do you have a passion for data and visualisation? Are you motivated by helping others gain a better insight into the stories data can unfold?
If so you could help us to improve the environment in the East Midlands by helping us to make better use of our data and information.
We’re looking for someone with the right mix of enthusiasm and technical skills to create maps, and other evidence products, that will help us to work together and target our efforts where they will make the biggest difference.
You’ll be happy to explore the use of new data analysis and visualisation technologies and use data and information from a variety of sources, to contribute to a better understanding of environment. Using creativity and innovation, you will translate that information into compelling evidence that informs decisions and actions by technical and non-technical audiences alike.
You will work closely with teams and individuals to conceptualise and create products that will help them prioritise the issues, and solutions that matter. These products will improve our ability to influence colleagues and partners and inspire evidence based action to protect and improve our environment for people and wildlife.
