Shape the Future of KSATlite's Global Ground Network

Project & portfolio management - budget & risk - complex delivery environment

The opportunity
KSATlite is scaling fast. Over the next five years, we will deploy more than 100 new antennas across our global ground network, while running the tech refresh and maintenance of a fleet of 150+ systems already
in operation. Behind this growth sits an investment portfolio of more than 1,000 MNOK, and we want someone who can own it end to end.

For KSATlite, having the network growth management close to the business it serves is critical and we need a Senior Project Manager who plans, executes, and controls the KSATlite investment portfolio
directly, working together with KSATlite management, engineers, and suppliers to get antennas in the ground and systems running, on time and on budget.

This is a role with real scope: complex, multi-site, multi-year delivery, real budget accountability, and a direct line of sight from the plan you make to the network that goes live.

The position can be based in Tromsø, Trondheim, or Oslo.

• Identify, assess, and mitigate risk across a complex, multi-site portfolio

• Select and run the tooling that keeps planning, budget, and reporting under control

• Coordinate suppliers and contractors on delivery, contracts, and schedules

• Be the connecting point between management, engineers, and technicians

What you bring

• Solid experience managing large, complex, multi-site project portfolios

• Strong budget management skills, planning, tracking, and controlling

• Experience with project management and reporting tooling

• A structured approach to risk management in demanding technical environments

• The range to talk numbers and priorities with management, and detail with technicians

• Experience working directly with external suppliers and contractors

• Good written and spoken English & Norwegian

Who you are

• Decisive and structured, you drive projects to completion without waiting to be asked

• Comfortable owning a complex, high-value portfolio and making calls under uncertainty

• A natural communicator who adapts easily between boardroom and construction site

• Pragmatic under pressure, and calm when several projects compete for attention at once

• Collaborative: you bring management, engineers, and suppliers onto the same page

Nice to have

• Formal project management certification (PMP, IPMA, PRINCE2, or similar)

• Experience with capital-intensive infrastructure, telecom, or network rollout programs

• Background in the space, satellite, or defense indust
