Job Advert

Yorkshire Wildlife Trust is one of the UK’s fastest growing nature conservation organisations and seeks to appoint a Conservation Evidence and Insight Manager.

This role will help to deliver our ambition to achieve 30% of positively managed land and sea for nature across Yorkshire, in line with our blueprint for nature recovery – Bringing Yorkshire’s Nature Back. You will play a central role in embedding evidence-led decision-making across the Trust, ensuring our work is targeted, effective, and responsive to a changing environment.

Sitting at the intersection of ecology, technology, and policy, you will lead the integration of scientific evidence into conservation planning, strategy, and funding proposals, while working closely with practitioners, academics, and partner organisations. You will oversee key research and monitoring initiatives, including ecological modelling and landscape-scale data analysis, ensuring outputs are robust, relevant, and influence conservation outcomes across Yorkshire.

You will also lead the development of our data and insight capability, establishing strong data governance, standards, and systems while championing the use of innovative technologies such as GIS, remote sensing, AI, drones, acoustics, and eDNA. Working collaboratively with Digital Transformation and IT teams, you will ensure data systems are secure, integrated, and aligned with organisational needs, while delivering high-quality reports, visualisations, and insights that communicate impact effectively.

You will bring strong experience in working with applied scientific data, including designing research, analysing complex and spatial datasets, and producing clear, insightful outputs for varied audiences. You will be confident using GIS and analytical tools such as R or Python, with strong statistical and modelling skills, and a thorough understanding of data quality, governance, and reproducibility. An experienced and collaborative leader, you will have the ability to motivate teams and work effectively with diverse stakeholders, combining excellent communication skills with the ability to translate data into compelling, evidence-based narratives. You will also demonstrate strong organisational and time management skills, a strategic mindset, and a deep commitment to nature conservation. An advanced degree in a relevant field or equivalent experience is essential, along with knowledge of UK conservation policy.

How to apply:

Please submit an up-to-date CV and supporting statement of no more than 800 words. When writing your supporting statement, please ensure you describe your relevant knowledge, skills and experience aligned to the Person Specification within the Job Description. Please be aware that if you only submit a CV, your application may not be considered.

Please DO NOT include any personal details (name, address etc) on your supporting statement.

Closing date: 5th July 2026 (midnight)

Interview date: 16 July 2026

Please note that applications received after the closing deadline may not be considered. The Trust regrets that it is unable to give feedback on unsuccessful applications.

We want our people to flourish, just like nature, and so we are committed to creating a movement that recognises and truly values individual differences and identities. We value diversity and creating an inclusive culture where everyone can be themselves and reach their full potential.

We are also a member of the Disability Confident Scheme. This means we are committed to offering an interview to disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria for the post. Where a post is oversubscribed (i.e. there are more candidates meeting the minimum criteria than we can offer interviews to), we will carefully balance inviting a mix of the highest scoring disabled and non-disabled applicants.
