The Regulatory and Landscape Mapping team locates nature in NSW so the people of the state can value it.

As Senior Team Leader Regulatory and Landscape Mapping you will lead the delivery of critical NSW biodiversity and native vegetation regulatory mapping programs that support informed environmental decision-making across the state. The role also leads the development of spatial assessment of proposed policy changes and current and future land use change.

In this pivotal leadership role, you will design and deliver high-quality, cost-effective scientific projects aligned with the DCCEEW Strategic Plan, while driving innovation in landscape mapping for both internal and external stakeholders. You will provide expert scientific advice, oversee efficient project and case management systems, and be responsive to often urgent requests for complex spatial insights pitched to non-technical audiences.

You are a confident and collaborative leader with proven experience delivering statewide spatial datasets for regulatory applications and a robust understanding of emerging spatial products and how they could help optimise environmental benefits. Comfortable working with a high degree of autonomy, you are skilled at setting priorities, delegating effectively, and providing timely, evidence-based advice on emerging issues.

You thrive on close relationships with key partners, including other technical functions, customer services and external regulators or NGOs, to identify significant opportunities or problems and work with them, including considering innovative approaches, while maintaining core datasets, tools and maps. With experience leading geographically dispersed teams, you are passionate about fostering an inclusive culture where wellbeing, innovation and continuous learning are encouraged.
