Senior Marketing Manager, Partner Growth & Activation

The world still has coverage blind spots. You could help eliminate them at Skylo.

Skylo has pioneered a standards-based approach to satellite connectivity. We connect smartphones and IoT devices directly to satellites. No special hardware, no entirely new networks. Just billions of existing devices, suddenly reachable anywhere on Earth. We're not building toward this future. We're already in it.

Our direct-to-device service is live on millions of activated devices across five continents, covering more than 72 million square kilometers, in partnership with leading satellite operators, mobile network operators, Tier-1 chipset makers, and OEMs worldwide. And we're just getting started.

At the heart of it all is Skylo's commercial NTN vRAN: a 3GPP standards-based, cloud-native platform that seamlessly bridges terrestrial and satellite networks. It's the infrastructure that makes true anywhere, anytime connectivity possible.

When you join Skylo, you'll work at the intersection of three markets reshaping how the world stays connected: mass-market consumer devices, automotive, and industrial IoT. Enabling people outdoors and critical workflows in the world's most remote places.

This is a rare chance to work on technology that matters, at a company that's already proving it works

What We Look For

• You actively use AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Midjourney, Perplexity, Jasper, or equivalent) in your daily workflow and can demonstrate measurably higher output as a result

• Excellent writing and communication skills — you use AI to enhance your voice, not replace it; you know when to prompt, when to edit, and when to write from scratch

• Proven ability to create polished collateral, presentations, and high-level designs, with or without a dedicated design team, using AI-assisted design tools (e.g., Canva AI, Adobe Firefly)

• Experience managing external vendors and partners on fast-moving timelines in a startup environment

• Strong attention to detail and outcomes-orientation — focused on timelines, deliverables, and measurable impact

• Entrepreneurial spirit with the ability to adapt rapidly in a highly fluid environment

• Ability to understand and develop execution plans for global markets across multiple time zones

• Highly collaborative — you work well across engineering, sales, and executive teams
