The mission of The Nature Conservancy is to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends.

We're proud of what we've accomplished since our founding in 1951: The Nature Conservancy has protected more than 117 million acres of land and 5,000 miles of rivers worldwide — and we operate more than 100 marine conservation projects globally.

We have more than 1 million members and work in 76 countries and territories, using a collaborative approach that engages local communities, governments, the private sector, and other partners.

Guided by science, we create innovative, on-the-ground solutions to our world's toughest challenges so that nature and people can thrive together. We are tackling climate change, conserving lands, waters and oceans at an unprecedented scale, providing food and water sustainably and helping make cities more sustainable.

The Data Analyst/Scientist works closely with other team members to research, gather, synthesize, and incorporate conservation planning data into various geospatial and software tools. These tools are used to identify priorities and inform conservation activities by internal team members and external partners. This position reports into the Brightstorm program at the conservancy, which works with public and private sector partners to build tools and projects to advance the water infrastructure needs of communities throughout the U.S.
