Sr. Program Manager

Orbitalinsight in Jakarta

As a critical part of its mission to help decision makers understand what we are doing on and to the Earth, Orbital Insight is building a platform for large scale analysis of geospatial data including satellite and drone imagery and global IOT data - with proprietary AI to analyze economic, social, and environmental trends at scale. The platform allows customers to ask and answer questions about the physical world -- much as a search engine answers questions about the virtual world. By making the Earth “searchable” our customers have been able to illuminate supply chains, track global commodities, conduct trade area analysis, monitor illegal deforestation, and further national security.
Orbital Insight is seeking a highly experienced, Senior Program Manager to lead the Program team for an Asia Pacific (APAC) strategic customer.  Reporting to the US-based Director of Program Management, the Senior Program Manager will require technical and programmatic expertise, strong leadership, and collaborative skills with the proven ability and experience to work with a defense and intelligence customer.  This position requires the implementation of Program Management policies, procedures, and workflows, and ensuring the success of the company’s most important programs in both the commercial and public sector. This is an exciting and rare opportunity to help drive a growing region at our company and set the tone for successful delivery of advanced geospatial capability to our most important customers.
