Want to join something GREAT and make a difference?

Are you skilled in the development and maintenance of GIS and other databases? Are you interested in improving the data resources available for conservation of native species and ecosystems in Washington State? We are looking for a highly qualified and motivated candidate to serve as the Data Manager with the Washington Natural Heritage Program. In this role, you will develop information products and manage data that are used to conserve species and ecosystems throughout Washington State, including decisions on land-use and species protections. The Data Manager with the WNHP manages the most comprehensive database of Washington's rare plant species and rare and high quality ecosystems, as well as develops and maintains other databases, web applications, and technical solutions for the program.

As the Data Manager, you will provide expertise in spatial and non-spatial data capture, use and analysis; QA/QC of spatial data; development and maintenance of web applications to provide geospatial and tabular data to stakeholders; analysis and recommendations of optimal data structure; and determine appropriate hardware, software, and network specifications. You will effectively communicate and network with staff from the Natural Heritage Program, other DNR programs throughout the state, other state, federal, and local agencies, non-profit organizations, and others. This is a permanent, full-time position represented by the WFSE. 

What will we trust you with?
  • Maintaining the statewide database of rare plant and rare and high quality ecosystem occurrences;
  • Working collaboratively with Natural Heritage Program staff to develop technical solutions for data management;
  • Acting as a technical liaison with data managers in DNR and other agencies and organizations;
  • Developing complex web applications, mobile data collection modules, and databases to meet program needs;
  • Exercising strong communication and interpersonal skills, including good judgment, ability to express ideas clearly and concisely, and working collaboratively with people with diverse priorities and perspectives;
  • Supervising one or more positions, including the Data Specialist, who is responsible for entering data from diverse partners, conducting environmental review, and updating and maintaining the Natural Heritage website content (among other responsibilities).

Why do people choose to work for DNR?
 
"I enjoy the clients I support and there are a ton of smart, fun, passionate people in this agency that I have the privilege of interacting with and learning from. DNR is a great place because of the people who are here. They are passionate, hard-working, loyal, intelligent, kind, and FUN! The aspects of the agency that speak to me are how diverse the work is that we do; from forests to grass lands, from mountain tops to under water, the composition of the agency made up by various different responsibilities makes it so interesting."
 
"I am committed to this agency's purpose, the Washington Geological Survey is an amazing place full of innovative, creative, and open-minded people, and I get great satisfaction from serving Washington's residents. I love it here because this place loves me. I like how I am made to feel valued, appreciated, and I feel that my skills are constantly being broadened. I am generally my only limitation."
 
"The idea of managing the resources in perpetuity really speaks to me. I like that the work DNR does tries to strike a balance between business and conservation and that I don't have to compromise one for the other because I am expected to do both. We are expected to be good stewards of the resources and the decisions we make mean something...in perpetuity."
