Senior Manager, Finance Automation & AI

The Mission

ICEYE is a defence tech company built on advanced AI, rapid experimentation, and technical excellence. Finance must operate with the same ambition. The Senior Manager, Finance Automation & AI will play a key role in designing, prototyping, and deploying AI and automation solutions that meaningfully improve how Finance operates day‑to‑day. This role is hands‑on and improvement‑focused: you will identify high‑value opportunities, build or support the development of automation solutions, and work closely with Finance teams to embed better, faster, and more controlled workflows. You will not have day‑to‑day operational responsibilities; instead, your mandate is to help Finance move toward a more autonomous, scalable, and data‑driven operating model.

Who We Are

ICEYE’s world‑leading synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite technology enables partners to detect and respond to critical changes anywhere on Earth with unprecedented speed and accuracy. We also serve civil protection and commercial users for natural‑catastrophe intelligence, insurance, maritime monitoring, and finance, contributing to global security and community resilience.
