About The Grasslands Trust

We work on wildlife protection, research, community-based conservation, and grassland habitat restoration across India’s open ecosystems—combining field action with strong data systems and applied research.

Role Overview

We are hiring a Data Manager & Analyst to lead all data systems in the organisation.

This is a core, high-responsibility role focused on managing large volumes of conservation data, building systems, and delivering accurate reports for donors and government.

This is not a field role. It is intensive, office-based, and execution-focused.

What You’ll Do

• Manage and process large datasets from camera traps (including bulk camera trap data preparation), drones, and field logs

• Build and maintain structured systems (Excel/Sheets) for wildlife data, reporting, and tracking

• Lead data storage, backups, and access systems (cloud, NAS, hard drives)

• Set and improve data protocols and workflows

• Analyse wildlife and habitat data, including restoration-focused insights

• Prepare monthly–annual reports for donors and forest departments

• Create maps, charts, and summaries from camera trap, transect, and drone data

• Support drone data processing and mapping (preferred)

• Work with ungulate survey data (preferred)

• Coordinate across projects, manage interns, and ensure all deliverables are on track

• Support research outputs and publications
