ROLE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Location: Espoo, Finland

• Department: Mission Line of Business

• Reports to: Lead, program Management Office

• Employment type: Permanent

• Workplace model: Hybrid / Office

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

WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS:

The mission of this role is to deliver clarity, speed, and structure across critical projects that power ICEYE’s Missions Line of Business.

As ICEYE scales its Missions business, execution needs to move fast, frictionlessly and with clarity. This role is part of a new, fast-paced activist PMO designed to enable delivery across space programs, internal operations, and high-stakes cross-functional efforts.

The PMO Manager will lead internal initiatives that underpin ICEYE’s significant growth plans, and design business processes that make execution repeatable while retaining ICEYE’s culture of agility. Mission Programs are large, high-stakes contracts—often exceeding €100M—with milestone payments that directly impact ICEYE’s revenue. You’ll support these critical deliveries by building the digital backbone of execution: clean workflows, milestone clarity, risk visibility, and lightweight tooling. This is a builder-operator role for someone who thrives at the intersection of structure and speed.
