• Bachelors or masters or equivalent work experience in GIS, geography, computer science, information systems, engineering, environmental science or a related field. • Experience in the ESRI suite of software particularly working knowledge of ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Server, ArcView, or other ESRI software products. • Working knowledge and experience with ESRI geodatabase schema and behaviour. An understanding of relational databases, SQL and ArcSDE is also required. • Familiarity with ArcGIS Desktop extensions (preferably ArcGIS Spatial Analyst). • Working knowledge of Python as the ESRI Geoscripting language. • Knowledge of ArcObjects is desired but not essential. • While our desktop and database environment is mainly the ESRI suite of software we are increasingly looking at open-source GIS software to complement and improve efficiencies where needed. Experience with open source GIS would be an asset. • A keen interest in the natural world and biodiversity conservation would be a distinct advantage, but is not essential. |

It is a leading provider of conservation data, assessments and analysis. Its broad membership enables IUCN to fill the role of incubator and trusted repository of best practices, tools and international standards.
IUCN provides a neutral space in which diverse stakeholders including governments, NGOs, scientists, businesses, local communities, indigenous peoples organisations and others can work together to forge and implement solutions to environmental challenges and achieve sustainable development.
Working with many partners and supporters, IUCN implements a large and diverse portfolio of conservation projects worldwide. Combining the latest science with the traditional knowledge of local communities, these projects work to reverse habitat loss, restore ecosystems and improve people’s well-being.
