No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The role requires hands-on capability in GIS development, including building and maintaining Python scripts, automating workflows, and managing geospatial databases. Candidates should also have experience developing and updating ESRI Web Apps for both internal teams and external clients. The ability to engage with research and analysis teams - providing advice, training, and practical GIS support - is a core element of the position.
Candidates must have a genuine interest in geopolitical intelligence and the role that geospatial data and mapping play in understanding complex security and geo-political topics. The role involves collaboration across thematic and specialist teams, contributing to joint projects and wider business development. A strong commitment to continuous professional development and staying current with new GIS technologies and AI tools is also expected.
Candidates should demonstrate an inquisitive and investigative mindset, excellent organisational skills, and the ability to manage multiple workstreams under pressure while maintaining quality and meeting deadlines. Strong written and verbal communication skills are essential, as is a client-focused approach to delivering accurate and timely outputs.
