Senior Cartographer (Quality Assurance)

Paris, France

Full-time

Join our team of geospatial experts and take a leading role in delivering world-class cartographic products and services. We're growing our physical presence in France, and looking for a Senior Cartographer (Quality Assurance) with an extensive track record of delivering high-quality, user-facing map products that expertly balance finesse and simplicity, and inform, inspire and influence in equal measure.

You will be at the centre of the action, so finely-honed communication skills are a must.

About the Role

As a Senior Cartographer at T-Kartor, you will be an essential player in project teams responsible for creating, delivering and maintaining world-class cartographic products and services. You will collaborate with, guide and motivate colleagues across departments to guarantee successful delivery and customer satisfaction.

This position is based in the Paris region (Île-de-France) and is a hybrid role, mixing regular on-site and remote working. You will report to our Director, Head of Services.

Your Profile

You thrive on the challenge of delivering the highest quality within the tightest deadline. You are structured and an expert at prioritisation.
