As our Watershed Intelligence Manager, you'll help bring our vision to life by:

- Structuring the watershed regeneration data and research generated to date by the Foundation and its partners
- Working with the team and our partner universities, research centers and field innovation entrepreneurs to define, validate and prioritize the indicators needed to track a watershed's regeneration to a healthy state
- Overseeing the selection, validation and deployment of the measurement and monitoring technologies that generate this data — in most cases by identifying and validating the right technology partner, rather than operating the technology directly
- Building the dashboard and technology infrastructure that lets us measure and communicate the Muga Valley's resilience over time
- Coordinating the Foundation’s relationship with partner universities and their researchers, including the multidisciplinary research programs developed in the watershed and the way the resulting data is managed, shared and used

This is not a data analyst role. You will not be generating, processing or modelling the data yourself; you will be orchestrating the process by which our research and technology partners generate, validate and structure it, staying closely informed of their work, and turning it into a shared, decision-useful picture of watershed resilience.

The role covers two distinct, complementary data streams. The first is resilience data: the indicators that let us understand how the watershed's regeneration is progressing over time. The second is monitoring and maintenance data: the sensors and technologies, such as satellite-based fire detection,



that allow us to protect and maintain what has already been regenerated through early detection and rapid response. Both streams call for the same rigor in identifying the right partners and technologies.

We are looking for someone who asks good questions, who is comfortable holding complexity across ecological, social and technical domains, and who acts as a catalyzer between our research partners, technology providers and field innovation entrepreneurs, our internal teams, and the Foundation's leadership.

This is an ongoing, open-ended process — data generation and measurement will keep evolving as the watershed regenerates — with the first priority being to establish a clear baseline of where we stand today.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Establish the Baseline (Urgent priority)

- Collect and structure the monitoring and research work carried out to date by the Foundation and its partners
- Build the first watershed-resilience baseline so the team understands its starting point.

Define and Validate the Indicator Framework

- Sit down with each partner university, research center and field innovation entrepreneur to identify the indicators relevant to measuring a watershed's regeneration to a healthy state
- Work with the Biodiversity & Watershed Landscape team to identify and measure ecosystemic indicators, and with the Governance & Community team to define the social indicators to include




- Validate a final, reduced indicators list, prioritizing what is truly relevant to avoid excessive measurement cost

Select, Validate and Oversee Measurement Technology

- With the support of the internal team and our partners, identify the technology that measures each indicator most efficiently, balancing cost against ease of scalability, and working on reducing deployment cost and time
- Support and provide the data to be able to validate the sensing and measurement technologies deployed across the watershed: in most cases this means identifying and vetting the specialized technology partner responsible for deployment, while maintaining a clear working overview of what is deployed, by whom, and how it performs
- Maintain a live map of the technology and sensor partners engaged across the watershed, to support future scaling and replication

Deployment of Monitoring & Early-Warning Technology to Protect the Regenerated Watershed

- Identify and validate the sensors and technologies required to monitor and maintain the watershed once regenerated
- Treat this monitoring and maintenance data as a distinct stream from the resilience indicators above, with its own partners, technology choices and reporting requirements
- Ensure monitoring data feeds into the resilience dashboard and reaches the relevant teams in time to support rapid response

Build and Maintain the Resilience Dashboard

- Design and build a tracking dashboard that measures the watershed's improvement in resilience over time
- Ensure the dashboard also serves as a filter criterion for the institutions and entrepreneurs the Foundation chooses
