Perform first-pass quality assurance on technical outputs before the sign-off. Contribute the technical sections and methodology inputs to proposals (with the BD Specialist). Communicate results to clients and support technical presentations. Collaborate with the wider Terra Impact team — providing geospatial and monitoring support to other platforms (e.g. biodiversity, nature-based projects) and contributing to shared, cross-platform deliverables. Knowledge, Qualifications and Skills required Essential 6+ years of relevant experience as well as: GIS / remote-sensing / geospatial-data expertise. Demonstrated project management: budgets, timelines, deliverables, client reporting. Experience managing consultants or external technical teams. Strong technical writing and result communication. Domain exposure to water, land, agriculture or climate-resilience applications valued.
