Geographical Information Systems - Strategic Lead

Brent is a tremendously vibrant London borough where the iconic arch of Wembley Stadium dominates the skyline. Spanning both inner and outer London, it is a borough of huge contrasts in terms of its economic, environmental, ethnic and social make up. Brent’s diversity is evident to all who visit our borough and our long history of ethnic and cultural diversity has created a place that is truly unique and valued by those who live and work here.

 

The council is pursuing a far-reaching transformation agenda that better meets the needs of our community so it is an exciting time to join us.

  

 

The new Strategic Data and Insight team are at the centre of the council's transformation team, working across the organisation to advance Brent's data ambitions and effectively deliver the council's corporate performance and insight functions. 

 

This post is an incredible opportunity for a GIS specialist to lead geospatial data initiatives, develop and improve staff capability, and develop Brent's GIS capabilities through working with all council departments, maximising their opportunities for using location data and supporting the delivery of services.
