Summary
The aim of this paper is to analyse the profile of spatial data managers in local self-government units in the Republic of Croatia. A representative institution, the City of Požega, was chosen for this, which best reflects and shows the need for the occupation of such a profile, shows the activities performed in it, and are related to spatial data management. In accordance with the Methodology for the Development of Occupational Standards developed by the Ministry of Labor and Pension System, it is necessary to define the list of tasks covered by this occupation, and map them to the appropriate competencies required to perform these jobs. Research shown in this paper is a support for the development of occupational standards of spatial data managers, which is necessary to develop an optimal qualification standard. Cities are all units with more than 10,000 inhabitants and county seats, and represent an urban, historical, natural, economic, and social common coverage
