Starlink Account Manager (Canadian Federal)

STARLINK ACCOUNT MANAGER (CANADIAN FEDERAL)

Starlink, our revolutionary satellite constellation, is delivering low-latency broadband internet around the world. The Account Management team serves as the point of contact for customers from contract signature, through successful activation, ensuring all contract terms are fulfilled while and identifying new opportunities to generate business with enterprise customers.

In the past year, the Starlink team has signed contracts with customers who will deploy high speed internet at a pace and for use cases previously not possible. The team has designed the product to be self-service, and we need to similarly evolve our team and systems to enable large enterprises to manage Starlink themselves, minimizing humans-in-the-loop. Our ideal candidate is a self-starter that has a passion for making customers deliriously happy, supporting excellent teams, and managing complex cross-functional projects.
