Government
Inmarsat’s Government business unit delivers against the requirements for voice, data and video services with demand for global availability and utmost reliability. Whether a military commander on operations, a government official responding to a local emergency or a head of state conducting international affairs, Inmarsat provides them with essential access to voice and broadband data, where and when they need it.
Job Description
Primary role purpose:
The satellite industry is facing severe disruption over the coming years as new entrants and technological advances fundamentally transform the market. As a result, the competitive challenges for the traditional satellite players are increasing at an unprecedented level. Faced with this new reality, achieving growth in our traditional markets will become ever more challenging.
Against this backdrop the Strategy and Growth Programmes team leads the charge for Global Government (G2) in developing and executing strategies and plans that keep Inmarsat competitive in our markets today and into the future. One such initiative is the Chorus programme through which G2 seeks to expand their satellite communications business in the global aeronautical market segment. We are looking to provide a scalable and flexible beyond line-of-sight communication solution, for regional operations, to disseminate mission system data in real time from the airborne platforms to key end-users. The programme is expected to deliver a compelling platform-based solution for this segment backed by a comprehensive go-to-market and capture strategy.
The Government Aero Innovation Manager will be responsible for planning and delivering the capabilities under Chorus programmes, as well as the wider government aeronautical capability roadmap as needed.
