Our advanced satellite technology serves the diverse B2B sectors, including telecommunications, maritime, aviation, and government, ensuring reliable and seamless broadband connectivity worldwide.
 
Role overview: As the Head of BizOps, you will lead efforts to innovate and optimize our operating model (processes, systems) to deliver an efficient end-to-end customer journey (sales to billing, customer support) of our enterprise customers.
 
Your role will encompass defining customer journeys, streamlining operational processes, and driving continuous improvement initiatives. You will play a pivotal role in integrating business requirements with IT solutions and business support systems (BSS), fostering collaboration across teams and stakeholders for enhanced operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.

Ideal person should have experience coordinating across several functions as well as experience liaising with senior business leaders & IT to drive optimal processes and business applications. We are looking for an analytically oriented problem solver and a team player comfortable driving buy-in on requirements versus just checking a box.

This is a leadership role, involving managing a team guiding company transformation. As such, there will be opportunities for career growth and professional development to grow with the company, as the Telesat Lightspeed business scales.
