Job description

About the Position

EOS Data Analytics is a global satellite-data and analytics provider, operating the EOS SAT satellite alongside a meta-constellation of 20+ partner constellations (optical, SAR, thermal, hyperspectral and RF).

Through its RayVision platform https://eos.com/products/rayvision/, EOS delivers JISR-compliant, end-to-end data-to-decision intelligence for defence, security, and critical-infrastructure customers. RayVision is now establishing a dedicated Defence & Intelligence presence in the EU/NATO area - and is looking for a CEO/Director to build and lead it.

Responsibilities

As Director, Defence & Intelligence, you will stand up and represent EOS's Defence & Intelligence entity in Portugal or Luxembourg - taking it from legal formation through licensing, national accreditation, and the first NATO / ESA and national programme wins. This is a senior, founder-style mandate that combines legal-entity establishment, institutional relationship-building, and defence business development.

  • Build and own the Defence & Intelligence pipeline in-region - new markets, programmes, partnerships, and routes to existing customers.
  • Represent EOS and the RayVision platform to customers, partners, and institutional stakeholders at C-level and Board level.
  • Develop and execute the regional business-development plan aligned to the company's revenue goals.
  • Cooperate with business-intelligence, legal, marketing, and product units; feed regional insight into product direction.
  • Attract clients, partners, and investors - product presentations, business negotiations, and pipeline development.

Requirements

  • Residency: resident of Portugal, Luxembourg, Belgium, France, or the Netherlands.
  • Clearance-eligible background: a professional history clearly connected to the space, defence, or military-technology (miltech) industries - a prerequisite for passing security vetting.
  • Eligible to obtain and hold national and/or NATO security clearance.
  • Fluent English.

Nice to Have

  • 8+ years in business development, sales, or programme leadership within the space, defence & intelligence sectors (B2G and B2B).
  • Track record selling data services, intelligence solutions, software, and/or hardware to government agencies, MoDs, and large commercial customers.
  • Experience navigating defence licensing, export controls (EU dual-use / ITAR-EAR), and NATO / ESA or national procurement frameworks.
  • Experience establishing or operating a legal entity in the defence sector - a strong plus.
  • An established network across MoDs, space agencies, primes, and the allied defence-industrial base.
  • Local language (Portuguese, French, Dutch, or German) an advantage.
  • Able to work with a founder's mindset and autonomy, and within cross-functional teams.

We Offer

  • Competitive executive compensation with performance-based incentives.
  • A founder-style mandate to build and lead RayVision's EU/NATO Defence & Intelligence business.
  • Full strategic autonomy and direct collaboration with the founders.
  • Business development budget, including international travel and key industry events.
  • Executive benefits and long-term growth within the EOS Space Ecosystem.
