Why This Role Matters

As Director, Supply Chain Category, you’ll keep ICEYE’s satellite production supplied and on schedule.

You will lead four supply chain categories: Mechanical Systems and Manufacturing Enablement; Flight Control, Power and Structure; Electronics and Communication; and Optical and Inter Satellite Link. The supply chain teams of our sister companies in Spain, Poland, Germany and Greece will also report to you.

You will be accountable for a large, strategically critical annual procurement spend, and for turning category strategies into continuous supply for serial production. You will work closely with the Director, Supply Chain Strategy, who supports your categories with risk assessment, supplier development and partnerships. This role is for a hands‑on, technically grounded leader with a strong mechanical and electromechanical background, who has managed complex, highly regulated supply chains across countries and cultures.

Founded and headquartered in Finland, ICEYE operates globally with over 1000 employees across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia‑Pacific.

Your Day‑to‑day Responsibilities

- Lead the four supply chain categories through their Team Managers and own each category strategy: supplier base, sourcing approach, make‑or‑buy input and cost targets, aligned with the production ramp‑up.
- Secure uninterrupted supply for serial satellite production by aligning supplier capacity with the production plan and protecting lead times and quality through dual sourcing, buffer stocks, long‑term agreements and obsolescence management.
- Be accountable for a large annual procurement spend, including budget,



savings targets and cost at production rate, and track delivery, quality, lead time and inventory performance, reporting results and risks to the executive team.
- Lead the supply chain teams of our sister companies in Spain, Poland, Germany and Greece, building one operating model with common processes, systems and governance, and creating synergies through bundled spend, shared qualified suppliers, joint negotiations and local sourcing where it makes sense.
- Lead, coach and develop Team Managers, country supply chain leads, Category Managers and Supply Chain Specialists across several countries, including hiring, succession planning and a culture of ownership, urgency and accountability.
- Own executive‑level relationships with strategic suppliers, partner with category leads in major negotiations on long‑term supply agreements, pricing, capacity, quality and liability terms, and oversee supplier selection, qualification and performance management.
- Engage early with Engineering on design for manufacturing, design‑to‑cost and supply feasibility, manage the supply impact of engineering changes, and provide technical leadership across mechanical, electromechanical, electronics and optical categories.
- Work with the Head of Compliance to meet the requirements of a highly regulated space and defence environment, including export control, security, traceability and counterfeit prevention in every country, and manage supply risks, escalating structural risks to the Director, Supply Chain Strategy.
