Principal - Wholesale Roaming — Billing, Settlement & Standards

The world still has coverage blind spots. You could help eliminate them at Skylo. Skylo has pioneered a standards-based approach to satellite connectivity. We connect smartphones and IoT devices directly to satellites. No special hardware, no entirely new networks. Just billions of existing devices, suddenly reachable anywhere on Earth. We're not building toward this future. We're already in it.

Our direct-to-device service is live on millions of activated devices across five continents, covering more than 72 million square kilometers, in partnership with leading satellite operators, mobile network operators, Tier-1 chipset makers, and OEMs worldwide. And we're just getting started.

At the heart of it all is Skylo's commercial NTN vRAN: a 3GPP standards-based, cloud-native platform that seamlessly bridges terrestrial and satellite networks. It's the infrastructure that makes true anywhere, anytime connectivity possible.

When you join Skylo, you'll work at the intersection of three markets reshaping how the world stays connected: mass-market consumer devices, automotive, and industrial IoT. Enabling people outdoors and critical workflows in the world's most remote places. This is a rare chance to work on technology that matters, at a company that's already proving it works.

This remote UK-based position places you at the core of Skylo's European partner ecosystem. You will collaborate with a global team spanning multiple time zones. While London is our hub, we are open to remote arrangements for the right candidate located elsewhere in Europe.

ABOUT THE ROLE: Skylo’s multi-TADIG, multi-PLMN, and multi-clearing-house footprint creates complex settlement combinations that legacy roaming processes were not designed to handle. We are hiring a hands-on Senior Specialist to own the settlement architecture, wholesale pricing constructs, clearing strategy, and external standards work needed for NTN (Non-Terrestrial Network) roaming at scale. You will act as our deep subject matter expert to turn complex standards and numbering dependencies into clean operating models.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Architect Routing Logic: Design and maintain accurate CDR, mediation, TAP/RAP/BCE, and reconciliation flows across every relevant TADIG × PLMN × DCH/FCH combination.
• Prevent Leakage: Define routing and control logic so data usage reaches the correct clearing partner and settlement entity cleanly without leakage or duplication.
• Oversee Reconciliation: Manage the daily reconciliation cadence, control totals, dispute handling, root-cause analysis, and executive reporting.
• Design Pricing Frameworks: Build and structure NTN wholesale pricing mechanisms—including activation, usage, and tiering constructs—mapping them directly to feasible billing methods.
• Manage Clearing Vendors: Handle the technical execution strategy for DCH/FCH partners, clearing setups, NRTRDE controls, and ongoing service performance.
• Industry Representation: Represent Skylo within active GSMA working groups, including WSOLU, IDSBCE, BCE, and NRG NTN.
• Cross-Functional Partnering: Partner internally with Finance, Product, BSS, Network, Legal, and Sales to convert commercial intent into implementable, auditable settlement processes.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• 8+ years of hands-on experience in wholesale roaming billing, network settlement, clearing, revenue assurance, or telecommunications standards.
• Advanced technical knowledge of TAP3, RAP, BCE, CDR/mediation flows, DCH/FCH operations, and dispute management.
• Deep understanding of PLMN, TADIG, IMSI network numbering, roaming identities, and their direct impact on routing and settlement.
• Proven experience developing wholesale pricing or financial models and converting them into operational billing controls.
• Solid professional credibility representing an operator or technology provider inside GSMA or comparable standards forums.
• Strong cross-functional coordination skills with an ability to create workable mechanisms where industry standards are incomplete.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Direct experience with NTN, NB-IoT, IoT roaming, NRTRDE, or multi-TADIG and multi-PLMN architectures.
• Familiarity with major clearing platforms, GSMA portals, BigQuery/SQL, Jira, and Confluence.
• Past experience negotiating clearing relationships or influencing global industry specifications.

WHAT WE OFFER: This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to help build and run the world's first commercial, live direct-to-device satellite network. You'll work alongside a world-class team spanning software, hardware, chipsets, telecom, satellite, and network virtualization, some of the most sought-after expertise in the industry. And you'll do it inside a culture that's open, transparent, and inclusive, shaped by the best of Silicon Valley, Nordic, and South Asian ways of working.
