• Partner with GIS analysts and business units to design and deliver web maps and apps that meet reporting and operational needs

• Support day-to-day service requests, permissions, and content management within Portal

Collaboration & Documentation

• Document architecture, standard operating procedures, and upgrade/rollback runbooks

• Work with IT/infrastructure teams on server, network, and security requirements affecting the GIS environment

• Provide guidance and mentorship to junior GIS staff as needed

• Experience using Chef cookbooks (or comparable configuration-management/IaC tooling) to automate ArcGIS upgrades and deployments

• Demonstrated experience managing GIS resources across multiple environments (dev/test/prod)

• Working knowledge of ArcGIS Server Manager and Portal administration, including service publishing and troubleshooting

• Experience building or supporting apps in ArcGIS Experience Builder, ArcGIS Sites/Hub, StoryMaps, and Dashboards

• Strong troubleshooting skills across GIS software, Windows/Linux server environments, and networking basics as they relate to GIS services

• Clear written communication for documentation and cross-team collaboration
   

Nice to Have
