Lead a team of direct reports and provide clear direction so the team works as a cohesive unit. Develop team members through coaching, training, objective setting, providing ongoing feedback, and recognition. Support your team by assisting with prioritization of work, managing requests including for time off, and recruiting for vacancies. Communicate information from throughout the organization and help lead employees through changes.
Provide guidance and support to employees on emerging issues through one-on-one and team discussions, as well as actively participating in management meetings to advocate for staff and raise any emerging issues or opportunities to ensure deliverables are met.
Apply AER’s people management policies and programs within an inclusive environment where diversity is valued.

5+ years of advanced geoscience experience, with 3 or more years progressive people leadership experience
Ability to guide, motivate and manage scientists and independent thinkers.
Possesses a broad understanding of the AER mandate, and how AGS geosciences contribute to its priorities.
