About the role
KSATlite operates a global network of ground stations that keeps satellites connected around the clock. Behind that reliability is a supply chain of business-critical hardware and software, and we need someone who takes that seriously. As our Operations & Procurement Specialist, you will own the end-to-end flow: from supplier relationships and purchase orders through logistics, deployment, and rigorous ERP management.
This is a hands-on, cross-functional role where timing and precision matter. You will work directly with engineering and product teams to ensure the right equipment arrives at the right place at the right time, and that every transaction is properly tracked, invoiced, and reconciled in our ERP system.
The position can be based in Tromsø or Oslo.
