blocks--cover--scroll#handleScrollDown" title="Scroll to content">
An international geospatial team needs a data manager who can be trusted with the whole estate: the geodatabases, the ingestion pipelines, the quality of what comes out the other end, and the cloud and on-premises services that publish it. This is an on-site assignment in The Hague, Netherlands.
What you will do

 * Maintain, organise and manage geospatial datasets and their metadata, and develop the geodatabases and spatial repositories they live in.
 * Run ingestion, transformation, validation and quality assurance - and keep spatial data integrity, consistency and version control intact.
 * Coordinate backups and archival, and keep documentation current for datasets, workflows and system configuration.
 * Support geospatial environments in the cloud and on-premises: deployment, maintenance, troubleshooting, obsolescence management and secure operation alongside the GIS IT team.
 * Perform spatial analysis - queries, overlays, buffering, proximity analysis, summarisation - and produce maps and visualisations that people actually make decisions on.
 * Prepare data for modelling and reporting, and generate the standard GIS products.
 * Recommend improvements to workflows and data management practice, and work shoulder to shoulder with analysts, developers and engineers.
