BNGAI™is a Nature Intelligence Platform that uses satellite imagery and AI to deliver scalable, high quality environmental insights on any piece of land, anywhere. The platform automates habitat mapping, land classification, condition assessment, and environmental reporting at a speed and scale that manual methods cannot match. BNGAI™is the platform’s flagship product for the UK market, purpose built for Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) compliance in England. BNG is one of several use cases the platform supports globally, including TNFD reporting, science based targets for nature, ESG disclosure, and large scale environmental monitoring.  

The Role  

We are looking for an experienced Lead Ecologist to lead a growing team of ecologists working on large-scale habitat mapping, field survey, and biodiversity monitoring projects across multiple clients in the UK, EU, and other regions. This role goes beyond traditional ecology management — it sits at the intersection of  ecology, AI, and technology . You will combine ecological expertise, spatial data interpretation, and a strong technology orientation to help evolve AiDASH's AI-assisted mapping workflows. You'll work alongside Product and Data Science teams to shape and validate agentic-AI and RAG-based ecological workflows through intuitive, UI-based tools — no engineering background required, but a genuine appetite to learn and influence how these systems develop. You'll oversee multiple project pods, act as a team lead for a growing group of ecologists, mentor Associate Ecologists, and serve as the senior technical point of contact for ecological https://jobeax.com/link/XLEgGAvAPbJwIpzG
