Head of Earth Observation

We are starting a new programme focused on field validation of Earth Observation (EO) data, also known as ground-truthing, for different nature and climate applications. We are looking for the person to co-design and coordinate its data architecture, applications and the operational field work carried out by young people. You work alongside a small team to establish it from the ground up: setting up how it runs and delivering the first pilot projects, with a focus on growing its scale and impact over time. This is not a role for someone who seeks everything to be predefined, within a large team around them from day one. We are seeking a builder who wants to help shape something new from the very start. This is an unconventional role, yet will be a truly unique opportunity to make a profound impact for young people and to the conservation of nature, alongside implementation of climate mitigation initiatives on an international scale.
