Senior GIS Analyst
Why do you need to choose between doing important work and having a fulfilling life? At Ardent, we have both. Ardent employees are committed to solving our customers’ most difficult problems—and we are committed to the well-being, personal goals, and professional development of our employee. We are “All In.” We put forth our strongest effort possible to get the mission accomplished and we do it together. We respect the skills and experience you bring to the Ardent team. And we provide a rewarding environment to help you succeed.

If this sounds like the perfect fit for you, choose Ardent and make a difference with us.
Ardent is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior GIS Analyst to join our team and play a key role in delivering advanced geospatial solutions. This position requires a professional with a solid foundation in GIS and a proven track record of analytical excellence. The ideal candidate will bring at least five years of GIS experience, including a minimum of two years performing direct geospatial analysis, along with strong capabilities in cartography, imagery exploitation, spatial database management, and application development.
This is currently a remote position. Candidates must be able to work standard business hours in the Eastern Time Zone. It is possible that this could require a hybrid/onsite work requirement in the future.
Position Description:
As a Senior GIS Analyst, you will be responsible for producing complex, multi-layered maps and geospatial products in both print and digital formats—including interactive web-based applications. You will conduct sophisticated spatial analyses, manage and process aerial and satellite imagery, and contribute to the creation of custom tools and applications. This role combines technical expertise with creativity and communication, requiring the ability to translate complex geospatial data into actionable insights for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
This position offers a dynamic environment where you'll engage in work typically associated with Geospatial Analysts, Cartographers, Imagery Analysts, and GIS Project Managers—making it an ideal opportunity for professionals looking to take their geospatial career to the next level.
Responsibilities and Duties:
This position may include duties typical of those commonly associated with a Geospatial Analyst, Cartographer, Imagery Analyst, and GIS Project Manager.
Duties shall include the provision of full-time analytical, cartographic and data management support to produce geospatial products involving a high degree of complexity.
Perform data conversion, migration, and exploitation activities using advanced processing techniques.
Assist with project planning, requirements analysis, database design, database development, application coding and testing, quality assurance and quality control.
Apply complex analytical techniques to disparate data resources to identify previously unrecognized patterns and trends.
All other duties as assigned.
Requirements:
BS/BA in GIS, Geography, Cartography, Computer Science or other related field.
Shall have 5+ years of experience in GIS of which 2 years were of direct analytical experience.
Experience shall include generating complex multi-layered printed, digital and web-based maps, creating and modifying template-based GIS web applications, and performing complex geospatial analyses.
Shall be knowledgeable in GIS and GPS concepts and proficient with spatial data and relational database maintenance and manipulation.
Shall have experience managing aerial and satellite imagery and performing imagery processing, analysis and exploitation.
Some experience in the development of GIS applications and tools is required.
Shall have the ability to effectively communicate technical information to non-technical computer users, both orally and in writing.
Due to the nature of the work we support, all candidates in consideration for this role must be U.S. Citizens willing to undergo the government issued background investigation process.
Ardent is an equal opportunity employer. We will not discriminate and will take affirmative action measures to ensure against discrimination in employment, recruitment, advertisements for employment, compensation, termination, upgrading, promotions, and other conditions of employment against any employee or job applicant on the bases of race, color, gender, national origin, age, religion, creed, disability, veteran's status, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.
