Sample interview questionsHow have you used an established defence or geospatial network to create new qualified opportunities?I begin by identifying organisations where the capability addresses a confirmed operational or intelligence need, then engage trusted contacts with a relevant, value-led conversation rather than a generic product pitch. I map users, technical evaluators, procurement stakeholders, and executive sponsors, document the account plan in CRM, and convert early discovery into a jointly agreed next step such as a demonstration, workshop, or capture plan.

Describe your approach to selling a technically complex ISR or earth-observation capability to government customers.

I translate technical features into mission outcomes such as persistence, all-weather collection, faster decision cycles, or improved situational awareness. I involve technical specialists early, validate requirements with end users and collection managers, and use demonstrations or use-case scenarios to establish operational relevance. I also align the solution with procurement, security, and acquisition timelines from the outset.

How would you manage a long, multi-stakeholder sales cycle for a multi-year data contract?

I create a documented account and opportunity plan with stakeholder influence, decision criteria, funding path, risks, and a mutual action plan. I schedule regular internal deal reviews, maintain accurate CRM data, and qualify continuously against customer need, authority, budget, and timing. This discipline helps maintain momentum while ensuring technical, commercial, and contractual workstreams remain aligned.

What would you do to build credibility with ANZ intelligence and defence users during your first 90 days?

I would first learn ICEYE's data products, differentiation, security considerations, and existing regional activity in depth. I would then prioritise listening meetings with key practitioners, partners, and internal subject-matter experts to understand user workflows and active procurement windows. From those insights, I would develop a focused engagement plan covering priority accounts, demonstrations, events, and measurable pipeline objectives.

Tell us about a time you influenced internal product or delivery teams using market feedback.

In a previous complex sales environment, I gathered recurring customer feedback on a workflow limitation and turned it into a structured business case covering user impact, revenue potential, competitive implications, and urgency. I shared this with product and technical teams, helped clarify requirements with customer examples, and maintained communication through prioritisation and release. This approach strengthened customer trust because stakeholders could see their operational needs shaping the solution.

Opportunity details

## About this role.

Role highlights:

*

Business Development Manager

*

Location: Any Australian state capital city, Canberra preferred

*

Department: Data Sales

*

Reports to: Data Sales Director, Australia & New Zealand

*

Employment type: Permanent

*

Workplace model: Remote first, frequent travel expected

*

Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO, where required)

Why this role matters:

As a Business Development Manager, you’ll bridge the gap between ICEYE’s world-leading ISR satellite capability and the people who use space-based geospatial intelligence at the sharp end of Australian and New Zealand (ANZ) defence and national security. You will open doors, build credibility, and ensure the ANZ’s most important intelligence users understand what makes ICEYE genuinely different.

ICEYE is not the traditional defence prime. ICEYE is a different proposition entirely. We are one of the world’s fastest-growing space companies, and we are only at the beginning of what we intend to build in the ANZ region – not only in defence and intelligence, but across a range of industry verticals where geospatial intelligence is a critical need.
From day one, you’ll own the full sales cycle for Data Sales business clients — identifying opportunities, shaping deals, and closing multi-year contracts — with the autonomy to move at pace and build the strategic relationships that expand ICEYE’s presence across the ANZ market.

Who We Are

ICEYE is the world leader in sovereign intelligence from space. We deliver persistent monitoring capabilities to detect and respond to changes in any location on Earth.

ICEYE owns the world’s largest and most advanced SAR (synthetic aperture radar) satellite constellation. To our customers we provide intelligence with unmatched quality, latency and revisit times, in any weather, day or night. To governments who choose to operate their own constellation, we provide this proven capability as a sovereign system as both a data and managed service business.

ICEYE serves customers in defence and intelligence, environmental monitoring, insurance, mining, maritime and emergency management. We enable fast decisions that contribute to a safer future.

ICEYE is expanding both satellite technological capabilities and its advanced data processing product suite, and over time the range and breadth of data products will increase. This is a learning role that will span a range of industries and use cases.

Founded and headquartered in Finland, ICEYE operates globally with over 1200 employees across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.

Your day-to-day responsibilities

*

Report to the ANZ Data Sales team

*

Build and maintain a trusted network of Intelligence and GEOINT practitioners across ANZ defence, intelligence and other industries: attending user engagements, demonstrations, and briefings to represent ICEYE credibly at the working level and stay close to user needs, priorities, and procurement timelines.

*

Advise internal ICEYE teams (Missions, Data and Solutions) on how ANZ military and intelligence users consume intelligence imagery, what tradecraft matters, and how to frame ICEYE’s products in language that resonates with analysts and collection managers.

*

Identify key decision-influencers across ANZ target organisations, and plan, host, and lead ICEYE engagements, from technical demonstrations to senior roundtables, to build trust and advance ICEYE’s standing.

*

Participate as needed in ANZ military exercises that incorporate ICEYE capability, representing ICEYE at the operational level and capturing lessons that feed back into product and service development.

*

Maintain strong CRM discipline and provide clear market intelligence to support business planning and decision-making.

*

Produce responses to RFPs, proposals, inbound enquiries, assist with promotional material and attend relevant industry events.

*

An established personal network within the ANZ geospatial community at the working and mid-senior level (people who will take your call)

*

Proven experience selling to ANZ government, defence, or public sector organisations, with an existing network you can activate from day one

Strong understanding of earth observation, ISR, or satellite-based capabilities, ideally including SAR.

*

Proven ability to run complex sales cycles, including lead qualification, opportunity development, capture planning, stakeholder mapping, and deal closure.

Willingness to travel as required, primarily across the ANZ region and to Europe.

Nice to haves:

*

Currently serving as a reservist, or recently transitioned from active duty within the last five years.

*

Familiarity with SAR (and other ISR) geospatial satellite products, or experience working with commercial SAR (and other ISR) providers.

*

Experience using Salesforce or another CRM.
