The Role

We are looking for an experienced Lead Ecologist to lead a growing team of ecologists working on large-scale habitat mapping, field survey, and biodiversity monitoring projects across multiple clients in the UK, EU, and other regions.

This role goes beyond traditional ecology management it sits at the intersection of ecology, AI, and technology . You will combine ecological expertise, spatial data interpretation, and a strong technology orientation to help evolve AiDASHs AI-assisted mapping workflows.

Youll work alongside Product and Data Science teams to shape and validate agentic-AI and RAG-based ecological workflows through intuitive, UI-based tools no engineering background required, but a genuine appetite to learn and influence how these systems develop.

Youll oversee multiple project pods, act as a team lead for a growing group of ecologists, mentor Associate Ecologists, and serve as the senior technical point of contact for ecological deliverables.
