Senior Operations Analyst

Hydrosat is a space and data analytics company building a new Earth observation constellation and software platform to unlock the power of thermal infrared imagery. We deliver high-resolution thermal insights that help governments, defense agencies, and agribusinesses better manage water resources, agricultural production, national security threats, and critical infrastructure.

We grow through two distinct routes to market – government programmes, and commercial data and subscription products – and our Operations team keeps the business running behind both, giving executive leadership a clear, trusted view of how the company is performing.

We are looking for an Operations Analyst to join our Operations team and work closely with our Chief of Corporate Operations. You will help plan, coordinate, and build financial and operational models. You will also help support analysis and strategy proposals that inform how Hydrosat runs its business – from employee compensation and departmental planning, to ESG, ERM, and other org-wide efforts. You will support organization of the efficiency metrics that tell leadership where the company stands, as well as the implementation processes that result. Using Excel, PowerPoint, AI, and other tools of the trade you will turn complex, cross-functional data and workflows into clear analysis and presentation decks that senior leadership and department heads can act on, and will help with coordination and implementation across departments for such programs.

This is not a narrow reporting role. We expect our Senior Operations Analyst to be a genuine thought partner to the CCO and executive leadership – helping structure how the company thinks about its own performance, not just producing the numbers. The ideal candidate is as comfortable, for example, building a compensation model from scratch as they are distilling it into a clear, well-organized narrative for a monthly business review.

Responsibilities may include but are not limited to

• Act as a flexible operations resource to the CCO, picking up cross-functional analysis, coordination, and projects as priorities shift

• Build clear, well-structured Excel models and PowerPoint presentations that make complex operational and financial topics easy for leadership to act on

• Prepare and help coordinate and run monthly revenue reviews, business reviews, and other leadership initiatives with the CCO, department leads and executive leadership

• Partner closely with the CCO and executive leadership on corporate operations, business planning, and company financial topics

• Build and maintain models and plans which may range from ERM, to ESG, OKRs, KPIs, supporting benchmarking, budgeting, and compensation planning decisions, among other key areas of org infrastructure

• Help define and track efficiency metrics across departments, giving leadership a consistent way to measure how the business is performing

• Support departmental modelling and planning, working with department leads to support the build-out and refinement oftheir operating plans

• Develop financial and compensation models that hold up to scrutiny from leadership, the board, and investors
