​Geospatial Analyst/Data FellowWe are hiring a new Geospatial Analyst/Data Fellow to join our GIS team, which represents about half of our staff. The work we do is collaborative, challenging, and always committed to the public good. GreenInfo's clients are passionate about fair elections, equity in park access, public health, and land conservation, to name a few.

This position is a one-year term from start, based on project funding. There is the possibility of extending that timeline based on available funds. The position will remain focused on data wrangling and entry-level GIS work.

As a Geospatial Analyst/Data Fellow with us, you will:

• Contribute to the editing, documentation, and overall maintenance for a variety of public datasets (such as the California Protected Areas Database, a public dataset GreenInfo has been publishing for over 10 years).
• Support small- and large-scale projects with GIS tasks such as sourcing authoritative data for clients, communicating with data providers, organizing and tracking incoming datasets, running data cleanup and complex analyses, and more. 

Qualities we’re looking for:

• Considerate and clear communication skills, both with colleagues and clients

• Comfort in either Excel or Google Sheets, including using formulas and tools to summarize data tables 
• Familiarity with QGIS is preferred but is not required

At GreenInfo, we work in the unique intersection of technology and nonprofit advocacy, with a large part of our history in support of land conservation. To serve the public good while pushing the edge of new technology is extremely rewarding. While we celebrate our 25+ years helping nonprofits in this sphere, we also recognize that both the tech industry and the conservation movement have histories of exclusion. We are conscious of that history, and are focused on constantly improving our hiring practices, organizational culture, and project approaches to be ever more inclusive. We also actively build a safe work space, and firmly believe in bringing our whole selves to work. GreenInfo Network is an equal opportunity employer. Historically underrepresented people in this field including but not limited to: women, people of color, and members of the LGBTQ+ community are encouraged to apply to this position.
