About the role

• Deliver trusted and authoritative advice and guidance across the geospatial data lifecycle, including consideration of regulatory and legislative implications.
• Support the administration of ACMA’s geospatial platforms and manage user access to ensure reliable, secure, and consistent use across the agency.
• Curate and maintain core geospatial datasets and develop user‑friendly tools that support common data requirements across the agency, enabling data to be used with confidence.
• Contribute to modernising enterprise geospatial platforms and expanding data publishing approaches, providing users with more flexible ways to access and use ACMA’s geospatial data.
• Help build ACMA’s geospatial capability and maturity by sharing knowledge, providing training, mentoring colleagues, and demonstrating geospatial tools and approaches.
