<h2 class="sc-1npqnwg-4 sc-1npqnwg-5 sc-1uwf3m5-0 ghXWGq custom-css-style-job-description">Job description</h2> Team & Reporting Line:  Our Mission    At constellr, we use thermal intelligence from space to understand what is happening on Earth - where, when and at scale. Our satellite constellation delivers high-resolution land surface temperature data, giving governments, defence organisations, commercial operators and global institutions the intelligence they need to monitor change, assess risk and make better-informed decisions. From national security and critical infrastructure to agriculture and climate resilience, constellr turns temperature into actionable intelligence for a changing world. Your Role As our Senior Business Development Manager for the Public Sector, you will join the Commercial team and lead constellr’s growth with civil government customers – environmental ministries, national and regional agencies, and European institutions – who need reliable, decision-grade thermal intelligence to manage water, agriculture, infrastructure and climate resilience.  This is not a data-reselling role. You will sell data intelligence and analytics: understanding what public bodies are trying to achieve, shaping how our land surface temperature products and insights fit their mandates, and guiding them through funding cycles and formal procurement. You will work closely with our Product, Earth observation science and Solutions teams to translate remote sensing capability into solutions that answer real governmental needs, and alongside colleagues covering commercial, industrial and defence markets to build a coherent go-to-market across the business.  You will own a strategic portfolio from first conversation to signed contract, including major upcoming national and EU tenders, and build on constellr’s existing success in European programmes such as Copernicus. With the launch of the world’s first commercial thermal infrared constellation, the relationships you build and the deals you win will define how governments use thermal data for years to come.  Key
