Role

• Customer Lifecycle Management: Serve as the primary commercial point of contact, ensuring all contractual obligations are met and actions are tracked to 100% closure.
• Commercial & Revenue Ownership: Lead the response for customer commercial requests and partner with Finance to track, manage, and forecast revenue. You will be responsible for the accuracy of billing triggers and commercial data.
• Technical Troubleshooting & Coordination: Proactively "dig in" with engineering teams to understand the "why" behind technical issues. You won't just pass messages; you will learn the mechanics of our satellite network to provide better context to the customer.

• Financial literacy and strong comfort level with contracts and revenue tracking
• Genuine desire to go "under the hood"; you want to understand how satellite networks operate and aren't afraid to ask engineers deep questions so you can better advocate for your customer
• Willingness to travel up to 20%

Bonus

• Experience translating "engineer-speak" into "customer-speak" without losing the nuance of the technical reality
• Experience working in a high-energy office environment and collaborating with engineers in real time
• Experience analyzing contracts or spreadsheets
• Strong execution skills and/or ability to drive a complex project to the finish line
