The National Biodiversity Data Centre is looking to appoint a Head of Digital Services. This senior management role will have responsibility for the co-ordination of the National Biodiversity Data Centre’s overall digital technologies development to ensure that it aligns with the identified business needs of the company.
The National Biodiversity Data Centre is currently undergoing a transformation phase, having been established in late 2022 as a State-owned company limited by guarantee (CLG), operating under the supervision of the Heritage Council. The transformation involves moving from a service delivered for many years by the private sector through a Service-Level Agreement to a standalone corporate governance structure. One of the tasks of the new company is to review its entire suite of digital bioinformatics infrastructure to ensure it is fit-for-purpose for the capture, management, reporting and publication of biodiversity data. It is also seeking to identify a business strategy for continued systems development to support existing and emerging national spatial and temporal data and information needs for the conservation of biological diversity.
More information is available in the candidate information booklet below.
The closing date for applications is Friday the 1st of September 2023 at 5pm.
