National Trust – GI Analyst

Contact Name:
Bernadine Maguire-Matthews

We’re looking for a GI Analyst to develop and manage a shared GIS data platform and standards, providing data analysis and mapping support for the recently launched Mourne Gullion Landscape Connections project. You’ll work alongside the wider project team, partners and stakeholders to support the successful delivery of the project’s development phase initially.

You’ll work 30 hours per week. We’re flexible on the working pattern. You’ll generally work within standard business hours, but specific days and working times can be agreed to meet the project needs and your circumstances.

This role is hosted by the National Trust and works across a range of partners and funders. It is a fixed-term position until August 2028. As this is a partnership role, applications will be shared with project partners (Mourne Heritage Trust, NI Water and Newry Mourne & Down District Council) as part of the assessment process.

Mourne Gullion Landscape Connections is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, we can come together to sustain and restore the Mourne AONB and Ring of Gullion AONB landscape.

You’ll work as part of the established Forever Mournes partnership which means being part of a supportive, purpose-driven team, collaborating closely with partners to deliver positive outcomes for people, place and nature. You’ll benefit from a collaborative, forward-thinking environment, where different perspectives are valued, and strong relationships help shape meaningful, lasting impact across the Mourne Gullion landscape. You’ll report to the Forever Mournes Project Manager.

You’ll be responsible for development and delivery of the Data Management Action Plan, developing and maintaining a shared GIS-based data platform, common data standards and processes to support effective information management across all project partners. You’ll provide data collation, analysis, mapping and reporting support, ensuring consistent, high-quality data is available to inform decision-making and measure project outcomes throughout the Mourne Gullion Landscape Connections project.

You’ll work collaboratively across a wide-ranging partnership, helping to build shared understanding, strengthen relationships and coordinate efforts across organisational and land ownership boundaries to deliver the Mourne Gullion Landscape Connections project. You’ll champion a collaborative approach, bringing together partners, landowners and stakeholders to break down barriers, align expertise and deliver shared conservation outcomes.
