The Mission of the Global Event Manager

We are seeking a strategic and hands-on Event Manager to lead ICEYE’s global events program. This is a pivotal role in our Marketing team, responsible for designing and executing a world-class events strategy that amplifies our brand, engages our customers, and drives measurable business impact.

You will own the end-to-end event lifecycle - from strategy, planning, and vendor management to on-site execution and post-event measurement. You will collaborate closely with Marketing, Product Marketing, Sales, Partnerships, and Leadership to ensure events accelerate pipeline growth, strengthen customer relationships, and position ICEYE as a category leader.

Who We Are

ICEYE delivers space-based intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities to governments and allied nations. This includes sovereign and turnkey ISR missions leveraging ICEYE’s world-leading synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite technology, as well as access to data from the world’s largest SAR satellite constellation. These capabilities enable partners to detect and respond to critical changes anywhere on Earth with unprecedented speed and accuracy – day or night and in any weather, supported by ultra high-resolution imagery and high-frequency revisits.

As a trusted partner for defense, intelligence, security, and maritime domain awareness, ICEYE’s near real-time data creates a tactical advantage for mission-critical operations. Designed for dual use, the platform also serves civil protection and commercial users for natural-catastrophe intelligence, insurance, maritime monitoring (including oil-spill detection), and finance, contributing to global security and community resilience.

ICEYE operates internationally with offices in Finland, Poland, Spain, Japan, the UAE, Greece, and the US. The company has more than 900 employees, inspired by the shared vision of improving life on Earth by becoming the global source of truth in Earth Observation.
