About the Role
Do you love databases and have experience working with IUCN Red List data? If so, this is the role for you! Day-to-day you will manage the SHOAL database as the person responsible for collecting, collating and presenting the data relevant to all of SHOAL’s activities, partners, programmes and projects. The primary set of data you will be managing is the SHOAL 1,000 Fishes Database, which includes more than 2,000 fish species requiring constant updates on their conservation status from experts and partners. You will collaborate with potentially hundreds of partners across the world to ensure that our database of priority species adequately reflects the action on the ground for each species. Your passion for conservation, particularly regarding the freshwater biodiversity crisis, will set you apart. You will be comfortable working in a small team, self-motivated, and able to work independently, with a willingness to learn and adapt. Your interpersonal and communication skills in holding external relationships will be key to your success. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
