The Mission of the Management Assistant
As a Management Assistant you will be the organizing force behind busy calendars, meetings, and projects - keeping priorities clear and communication seamless.
This is a role for someone who truly enjoys administrative work - bringing structure, reliability, and calm to a busy environment. Your support keeps things flowing smoothly and helps everyone do their best work.
As we continue to grow, you will have the chance to take on broader administrative responsibilities and shape how we work together as a team. You will be part of a supportive group that values initiative, trust, and making things a little better every day.
Who We Are
ICEYE delivers space-based intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities to governments and allied nations. This includes sovereign and turnkey ISR missions leveraging ICEYE’s world-leading synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite technology, as well as access to data from the world’s largest SAR satellite constellation. These capabilities enable partners to detect and respond to critical changes anywhere on Earth with unprecedented speed and accuracy – day or night and in any weather, supported by ultra high-resolution imagery and high-frequency revisits.
As a trusted partner for defense, intelligence, security, and maritime domain awareness, ICEYE’s near real-time data creates a tactical advantage for mission-critical operations. Designed for dual use, the platform also serves civil protection and commercial users for natural-catastrophe intelligence, insurance, maritime monitoring (including oil-spill detection), and finance, contributing to global security and community resilience.
ICEYE operates internationally with offices in Finland, Poland, Spain, Japan, the UAE, Greece, and the US. The company has more than 900 employees, inspired by the shared vision of improving life on Earth by becoming the global source of truth in Earth Observation.
