The NBN Trust is a small charity with a bold ambition: to make data work for nature. Since 2000, as the UK’s biodiversity data infrastructure, we’ve been making data accessible to inform better decisions about the natural world and connect people with nature.
Our vision is for nature thriving everywhere, in all its diversity, and our mission is for making data work for nature.
We are looking for a Business & QA Analyst on a fixed-term contract, starting as soon as possible and offered initially until September 2027, to join our Better Biodiversity Data (BBD) team, which is focused on improving the quality of biodiversity data in Scotland.
The job is offered on a full-time basis, but we work flexibly.
Our people are based all over the UK and work remotely, so you must be able to work from home. You will need the right to work in the UK, or be ready to obtain it independently, and we take up two references after we make a job offer, one of which is from a current employer.
We are a supportive and friendly organisation and we welcome applications from people from all backgrounds and personal situations.
The BBD Programme
The BBD programme will establish a single, shared, online data management system (NBN Record Manager) for the storage of biodiversity data across Scotland, that improves and maintains dataflows for locally recorded biodiversity data. The Business & QA Analyst position is a key position in the NBN Record Manager development team, and is funded to September 2027, but there may be scope to extend the position subject to further funding.
