Lead advanced geospatial analysis and spatial modeling to solve complex, real-world problems related to urban planning, environmental management, and resource allocation. Utilize GIS tools and advanced techniques to generate insights and inform state policies, projects, and operations. Conduct predictive and statistical spatial modeling, spatial overlays, network analysis, and other advanced techniques to support state initiatives. Oversee the management of complex geospatial databases and datasets, ensuring the quality, consistency, and accuracy of spatial data. Integrate diverse geospatial data sources (e.g., remote sensing, GPS, cadastral data, and public datasets) into GIS systems to create comprehensive, reliable datasets for analysis. Ensure data governance best practices, including metadata standards, version control, and data security protocols. Lead and manage GIS-related projects from inception through completion, ensuring alignment with state objectives, timelines, and budget constraints. Supervise and provide guidance to junior GIS analysts, providing mentorship, training, and oversight to enhance their technical expertise and professional development. Design, produce, and customize high-quality maps and visual representations of geospatial data to communicate complex information effectively to decision-makers, stakeholders, and the public. Ensure that all maps adhere to state cartographic standards and are tailored to specific project or departmental needs. Develop interactive maps and dashboards for public and internal use, ensuring accessibility and ease of use. Ensure that all geospatial data management and GIS activities comply with state and federal regulations on data security, privacy, and accessibility. Monitor and enforce data access controls, ensuring that sensitive information is appropriately protected while maintaining transparency and accessibility for authorized users. Develop and implement best practices for data security, disaster recovery, and data lifecycle management. Create detailed reports and documentation outlining GIS analysis methodologies, results, and recommendations for decision-making purposes. Maintain and document GIS project workflows, methodologies, and system configurations to ensure consistency and reproducibility of analyses. Prepare presentations and briefings for senior leadership, stakeholders, and the public to communicate the value of GIS solutions.
