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.

• 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
