The Mission of the Senior Finance Business Partner - GMO

As Senior Finance Business Partner for ICEYE’s Global Manufacturing Organization (GMO), you are a core member of the GMO leadership team and a trusted financial advisor of ICEYE’s manufacturing scale-up. You operate side-by-side with GMO leadership in a fast-moving, capital-intensive environment, providing forward-looking financial judgement that directly shapes manufacturing cadence, investment decisions, and long-term constellation outcomes..

You will work closely with the SVP of GMO, senior leaders across the organization, and key cross-functional partners—including Engineering Finance, Supply Chain, Launch Management, and the broader Finance team. You own GMO’s forecasting, financial reporting, and long-range planning, with full accountability for the satellite constellation financial model. This model is a critical decision tool for leadership, underpinning launch timing, investment prioritisation, cost trajectories, and capital efficiency across the constellation lifecycle.

Your work will directly shape decisions around satellite launch commitments, Bill of Materials (BoM) strategy, and constellation scaling choices. You provide the financial counterbalance to technical ambition—ensuring capital, cost, and timing trade-offs are clearly understood and actively managed in a complex, fast-moving environment
