Technical Expert Climate Change & Disaster Risk Assessment

As a Technical Expert in Climate Change & Disaster Risk Assessment at Sustainability Intelligence (SI), you will be responsible for leveraging your expertise in GIS, Remote Sensing, and climate risk analysis to contribute to the development of a WebGIS-based decision-support platform. Your role will involve integrating research findings, managing spatial datasets, translating geospatial outputs into actionable insights, and collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to enhance resilience assessments. Key Responsibilities: - Applied Research & Innovation - Integrate findings from IPCC, UNDRR, scientific literature, and policy frameworks - Develop, test, and adapt risk assessment methodologies for industry application - Spatial Analysis & Remote Sensing - Lead management of spatial datasets related to climate variables, natural hazards, land use, and socio-economic exposure - Design workflows for multi-hazard and multi-criteria assessments using GIS/RS tools - Data Interpretation & Insight Generation - Translate geospatial outputs into relevant insights for stakeholders - Contribute to the development of sector-relevant risk and resilience indicators - Tool & Product Development - Build analytical modules and backend logic for a WebGIS-based decision-support tool - Support data visualization strategies (maps, dashboards, semi-automated tools) in collaboration with UI/UX teams - Collaboration & Communication - Engage in interdisciplinary co-creation, prototyping, and iteration - Communicate results effectively to technical and non-technical audiences Qualification Required: - Minimum 8-10 years of experience in climate/disaster risk analytics with strong GIS/RS expertise - Proficient in QGIS, Google Earth Engine, ArcGIS, Python (geospatial stack), or R - Familiar with hazard datasets and climate models (e.g., flood, drought, cyclone) - Skilled in contextual storytelling and strategic data interpretation - Experience in developing or supporting WebGIS platforms is highly desirable - Understanding of global frameworks (IPCC, UNDRR, Sendai Framework, etc.) - Adaptable, self-driven, and comfortable in agile, collaborative environments In this role, you will have the opportunity to shape how climate risk is operationalized by industry, work in a non-hierarchical and inclusive environment focused on innovation, and contribute to both product development and applied research. We value initiative, depth, and shared learning in a growth-oriented culture. Excited to have you on board!,
