About the role
Role highlights:
Head of Strategic Operations
Location: Lisbon, Portugal
Department: CEO Office
Reports to: CEO, ICEYE Portugal
Employment type: Permanent, full time
Workplace model: Hybrid (office first)
Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO, where required)
Why this role matters:
ICEYE Portugal is scaling on several fronts at once: a Lisbon Center of Excellence building AI-powered intelligence products, a satellite production facility ramping through 2027, ESA programmes, and a growing base of defence and civil protection customers. The CEO Office is the execution engine that keeps this coherent — taking ambiguous, cross-functional problems and landing them. You build and run that office: the operating rhythm, the strategic projects, and the small senior team behind them.
