About the role

ICEYE owns the world's largest and most advanced SAR (synthetic aperture radar) satellite constellation. To our customers we provide intelligence with unmatched quality, latency and revisit times, in any weather, day or night. To governments who choose to operate their own constellation we provide this proven capability as a sovereign system. ICEYE-built constellations serve customers in defence and intelligence, environmental monitoring, insurance and emergency management. We enable fast decisions that contribute to a safer future. Founded and headquartered in Finland, ICEYE operates globally with over 1000 employees across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. Your day-to-day responsibilities Build and maintain a trusted network of active and recently retired SAR and GEOINT practitioners across UK defence and intelligence, giving ICEYE direct insight into user needs, priorities, and procurement timelines.

Identify and map key decision-influencers at the working and mid-senior level across relevant UK government and military organisations, and support the VP Missions UK and Director Data UK in shaping access and engagement strategies. Plan, host, and lead ICEYE engagements and events with the UK user community - from technical demonstrations to senior roundtables - ensuring every interaction builds trust and advances ICEYE's standing with key audiences. Participate in UK military exercises that incorporate ICEYE capability, representing ICEYE at the operational level and capturing lessons that feed back into product and service development. Identifying opportunities for ICEYE imagery and analytics services. Gather user requirements that shape Data products and analytics offerings.

Additional Information

Role highlights: UK Geospatial Intelligence Advisor Location: United Kingdom (Hybrid) Department: Mission Sales Reports to: VP Missions UK Employment type: Permanent Workplace model: Hybrid, with highly frequent in-person engagement at customer user sites Employment is subject to applicable security screening Why this role matters: As a UK Geospatial Intelligence Advisor, you'll bridge the gap between ICEYE's world-leading SAR satellite capability and the people who use geospatial intelligence at the sharp end of UK defence and national security. You will open doors, build credibility, and ensure the UK's most important GEOINT users understand what makes ICEYE genuinely different. ICEYE is not the traditional defence prime. ICEYE is a different proposition entirely. We are Europe's fastest-growing space company, and we are only at the beginning of what we intend to build in the UK. In this role you will be given real autonomy from day one. You will be trusted to make decisions, act on your judgement, and move at pace. Impact here is measured in weeks and months, not years. You will not be waiting for sign-off on every step - you will be expected to take initiative, own your outcomes, and back yourself. What matters is that you build trust through results, and ICEYE will back you as you do. You will be a key enabler of ICEYE's success across both sovereign mission solutions and commercial data and geospatial intelligence services within the UK defence and intelligence market.
