Join Our Team as a Work Assignment Manager – Geographic Information System, Information and Data Management
Skeo Solutions, Inc. is a small consulting firm that provides innovative and collaborative solutions to our primary clients in environmental stewardship, social equity, and economic opportunity. We are seeking a Work Assignment Manager specializing in GIS and Information and Data Management to join our dynamic and talented team of professionals.
Most Skeo support is provided to the Federal and local governments. The person in this position would primarily support projects for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Land and Emergency Response. We are seeking a Work Assignment Manager to join Skeo on a full-time basis, with full-time options ranging from 30 to 40 hours per week, with a heavy emphasis on the management of work, clients and people associated with information/data management and Geographic Information System (GIS) work. Applicants are encouraged to work at our home office location in Charlottesville, Virginia. However, Skeo is willing to consider remote work arrangements for well-qualified candidates.
Elements of this work will include:
Managing an established body of work with existing clients. Some activities would include tracking budgets and deliverables associated with the work, coordinating work with clients, participating in regular and professional communications with clients, strategizing approach, and laying the groundwork for future work.
Overseeing a team of capable people day to day in performing and managing work. This would include, but not be limited to learning Skeo’s approach to management, coordinating regularly with team members, providing tasking to staff, encouraging and engaging in 360 degree positive and constructive feedback, organizing and conducting staff annual reviews, helping staff grow professionally, supporting the creation and utilization of diverse and inclusive teams, and helping to prioritize tasking to meet company and staff needs.
Supporting all internal and external reporting needs. Some examples of reporting would be providing revenue projections and insights to Skeo leadership, contributing to reports provided to clients outlining performed and expected work, and engaging in monthly invoicing.
Supporting the balance of company workflow and priorities with Skeo leadership.
Interacting with subcontractors to secure expertise and support when needed to perform work required by clients.
Ensuring work is done to appropriate quality control standards and is on time and on budget across a range of unique projects.
Managing individual projects and making meaningful contributions to billable work and products.
While the position is expected to require 30-40 hours a week, there are times where it may be necessary to work more than 30-40 hours per week under tight deadlines.
All staff are expected to reflect Skeo’s operating principles: dignity, respect, compassion, integrity, and accountability. Applicants should be able to multi-task, collaborate well with teams and professional peers, be responsive, maintain a positive attitude and have excellent communication skills.
