Urban Mapping seeks a detail-oriented and communicative individual to manage our globally-distributed research staff. In this role you will work with remote project managers and researchers ensuring we meet internal objectives, liaise with core UMI staff and support global resource needs. This is an unusual role in that it blends traditional elements of project management with domain expertise in urban planning, demographics research, cognitive psychology and geospatial technologies.

The ideal candidate for this position will have completed advanced studies in urban planning/demographic research, demonstrated project and people management skills, shown familiarity with basic GIS concepts and exposure to SQL and/or programming languages. Foreign language and international experience is also desired.

Please note this is a full-time contract position, expected to last 3-6 months, beginning immediately. This may become a temp-to-perm opportunity, depending on the candidate and UMI planning. Pay is $20-$30/hr, depending on experience. Also, note the above are ideal qualifications, and we encourage you to be in touch if you feel your background and skills are a match. To be considered for this position, please forward a resume and brief note speaking to your training and experience. Email to talent [at] urbanmapping [dot] com. Indicate “Project Manager (Contract)” in the subject line. No phone calls please!
