The world still has coverage blind spots. You could help eliminate them at Skylo.

Skylo has pioneered a standards-based approach to satellite connectivity. We connect smartphones and IoT devices directly to satellites. No special hardware, no entirely new networks. Just billions of existing devices, suddenly reachable anywhere on Earth. We're not building toward this future. We're already in it.

Our direct-to-device service is live on millions of activated devices across five continents, covering more than 72 million square kilometers, in partnership with leading satellite operators, mobile network operators, Tier-1 chipset makers, and OEMs worldwide. And we're just getting started.

At the heart of it all is Skylo's commercial NTN vRAN: a 3GPP standards-based, cloud-native platform that seamlessly bridges terrestrial and satellite networks. It's the infrastructure that makes true anywhere, anytime connectivity possible.

When you join Skylo, you'll work at the intersection of three markets reshaping how the world stays connected: mass-market consumer devices, automotive, and industrial IoT. Enabling people outdoors and critical workflows in the world's most remote places.

This is a rare chance to work on technology that matters, at a company that's already proving it works

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are hiring a senior program leader to drive complex, cross-functional initiatives across Sales Engineering and the teams that support customer and MNO delivery.

This role converts strategic priorities into integrated plans, operating cadence, visible decisions, and dependable outcomes. You will work across technical, commercial, and operational stakeholders to remove dependencies, manage risk, and move high-impact programs from definition through launch and stabilisation.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Lead multiple strategic programs from charter and requirements through execution, launch, and post-launch review.

• Build integrated plans covering scope, milestones, dependencies, resources, decision points, success measures, and operational readiness.

• Establish governance forums and concise reporting for working teams, functional leaders, and executives.

• Identify critical-path risks early and drive mitigation, escalation, ownership, and resolution.

• Coordinate Sales Engineering with Product, Network, Engineering, Operations, Sales, Finance, Legal, vendors, and customer or partner teams.

• Improve intake, prioritisation, capacity planning, change control, documentation, and retrospective practices.

• Translate technical detail into business implications and executive decisions without losing accuracy.

• Define outcome metrics and ensure programs deliver business impact rather than simply completing activities.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 8+ years of experience in technical program management, product operations, engineering operations, or complex delivery.

• Experience owning programs that span multiple teams.

• Demonstrated success leading ambiguous initiatives involving technical architecture, operations, commercial requirements, and external partners.

• Strong program design, planning, dependency management, risk management, executive communication, and facilitation skills.

• Ability to understand telecommunications, network, or platform concepts sufficiently to challenge assumptions and connect technical tradeoffs to business outcomes.

• Excellent written communication and a track record of creating durable operating mechanisms.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience in telecommunications, satellite, IoT, mobile networks, carrier partnerships, or a similarly regulated and infrastructure-intensive environment.

• Familiarity with MNO onboarding, network launches, solutions engineering, or partner delivery.

• Experience with Jira, Confluence, Slack, Google Workspace, dashboards, and portfolio-planning tools.

• PMP, PgMP, or Agile certification
