Technical Program Manager - Wholesale Roaming
About The Position
Skylo is seeking a senior program leader to drive complex, cross-functional initiatives across Sales Engineering and the teams that support customer and MNO delivery. This role is responsible for converting strategic priorities into integrated plans, operating cadence, visible decisions, and dependable outcomes. The individual will collaborate with technical, commercial, and operational stakeholders to remove dependencies, manage risk, and guide high-impact programs from definition through launch and stabilization. Skylo has pioneered a standards-based approach to satellite connectivity, connecting smartphones and IoT devices directly to satellites without special hardware or new networks. Their direct-to-device service is live on millions of activated devices globally, powered by Skylo's commercial NTN vRAN, a 3GPP standards-based, cloud-native platform that bridges terrestrial and satellite networks. Joining Skylo offers a chance to work on technology that matters in the mass-market consumer devices, automotive, and industrial IoT sectors.
