Director, Business Development
At ICEYE, we design, build and operate the largest fleet of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites in the world. Using advanced technology, our constellation collects topographical data about any location on Earth, day or night, through any weather conditions.
Headquartered in Southern California, our customers are society’s heroes – intelligence professionals, warfighters, first responders, and scientific researchers. As a trusted mission partner, the United States and its allies depend on us for critical information when it matters most.
Role Description
ICEYE is seeking an exceptional Director of Business Development to identify, shape, capture, and expand strategic opportunities across the U.S. Department of Defense, Intelligence Community and allied government customers.
This leader will own growth strategy and execution for a portfolio of space-based ISR, remote sensing, tactical intelligence, and sovereign space infrastructure solutions. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable engaging senior government executives, developing capture strategies for multi-hundred-million-dollar opportunities, and translating operational user needs into actionable business and product strategies.
This is not a traditional defense sales role. We are looking for a builder who thrives in ambiguity, moves with urgency, understands the realities of military and intelligence operations, and wants to help reshape the future of geospatial intelligence and space-enabled national security.
The Director serves as the critical bridge between customers, product development, engineering, and executive leadership, ensuring ICEYE remains aligned to emerging mission requirements while delivering sustainable growth.
Target Agency Experience
An intimate knowledge of the following mission partners, including their acquisition frameworks, programmatic timelines, and technology roadmaps, is strictly required:
- National Reconnaissance Office (NRO): Demonstrated experience navigating new business opportunities to include shaping and capture.
- U.S. Space Force (USSF) Portfolio Acquisition Executives (PAE): Direct familiarity with Space Systems Command (SSC) funding profiles, service-level budget execution, current acquisitions and future plans.
- Space Development Agency (SDA): Technical and programmatic literacy regarding Tranche Transport and Tracking Layers.
Pay Range and Compensation Package
- The estimated base salary range for this role is $180k- $220k depending on experience
- Other benefits include health coverage, flexible PTO, a friendly work environment, plus extra fun perks!
Physical Requirements
This position primarily works in an office environment. It requires the ability to sit or stand for long periods of time and frequent walking. Daily use of a computer, phone, office equipment and other computing and digital devices is required. Some travel may be necessary – the ability to travel by car, plane, train, bus, vessel, or metro, operate a motor vehicle and maintain a valid Driver’s License and/or effectively navigate public transportation is required.
While performing the responsibilities of the job, the employee must be able to read and respond to inter-office communications as well as effectively participate in meetings. The employee is often required to sit and use their hands or fingers, to lift up to 50 lbs., pull, push, carry, handle, or feel. The employee is required to carry, handle items, reach with arms and hands, to stoop, kneel, or crouch; talk, or hear. Mental demands may require prolonged concentration, reading comprehension, understanding and interpretation of concepts, ideas, and philosophies. The physical demands of the position described herein are essential functions of the job and employees must be able to successfully perform these tasks for extended periods. Reasonable accommodations may be made for those individuals with real or perceived disabilities to perform the essential functions of the job described unless such accommodations would cause ICEYE US an undue burden.
