As the Data and Digital Services Manager, you'll play a vital role in implementing and supporting a brand-new data system designed with and for the Scottish biodiversity data community. You'll work closely with local environmental records centres (LERCs), recording groups, NGOs, government agencies, and developers to ensure smooth system configuration, data migration, and long-term service delivery. This is a hands-on, highly collaborative role at the heart of an ambitious project to revolutionise biodiversity data management and services.

Funded to March 2026 through NatureScot and the Scottish Government, BBD+1 builds on the recommendations of the Scottish Biodiversity Information Forum (SBIF) Review. The shared system we're building will enable better coordination, access, and use of biodiversity data - powering research, conservation, planning, and policy. We see this role as essential to the long-term sustainability of that system, and we're committed to securing ongoing funding to make it a permanent part of our Scottish Programme team.

We're a 100% remote-working charity, so you'll need to be comfortable and effective working from home. The whole team meets up four times a year for in-person team meetings (in London and other locations around the UK).

We're an equal opportunities and Living Wage employer. We welcome all applicants, and we're striving to create an inclusive and diverse team. If you're interested in joining us, please read the Job Pack - and get in touch if there's anything you'd like to ask.

When applying, if possible, please also complete and return the EDI Recruitment Questionnaire. This is not mandatory but will ensure we can gather information across a range of questions such as ethnicity, religion, working background, etc. to monitor the diversity of applicants
