As Chief Operating Officer, you are the internal execution engine and operational backbone of constellr. Acting as the CEO’s primary internal counterpart, you own the day-to-day performance of the company, translating strategy into execution and ensuring the organisation is built to scale — operationally, financially, and structurally.

You will work closely with leaders across engineering, product, finance, people, legal, security, and governance, aligning priorities, resolving trade-offs, and driving outcomes. This role is critical to enabling constellr to scale in a capital-intensive, regulated, and high-stakes environment, while maintaining speed, pragmatism, and accountability.

This is a rare opportunity to shape the operating model, governance, and execution discipline of a company delivering space-based capabilities with real-world climate and security impact.
