GIS Program Manager

The Alaska Municipal League envisions thriving communities for Alaska led by healthy local governments. AML strengthens Alaska’s local governments through shared services, technical assistance, policy support, training, planning, and collaboration. AML approaches its work through sustainability and partnership, with the goal of serving communities across Alaska.

The GIS Program Manager will develop, coordinate, and deliver AML’s shared Geographic Information Systems service for Alaska local governments. This position will help municipalities, boroughs, regional organizations, and partner entities use GIS to improve planning, infrastructure management, grant readiness, emergency preparedness, asset management, public communication, and local decision-making.

This position will serve as AML’s primary GIS technical resource and will work with AML staff, member governments, Tribal and regional partners, state and federal agencies, consultants, and funders to build practical GIS capacity for communities that may not have their own dedicated GIS staff. The position develops practical tools, data, and training that help communities strengthen local decision-making and project delivery.

The position combines advanced GIS technical work with program coordination, member support, project management, and training. The successful candidate will be able to produce high-quality maps and spatial analysis, maintain and improve spatial datasets, support web-based GIS products, and explain GIS concepts clearly to non-technical users.
