Description du poste

About Aerospacelab

Our mission is supported by an ambitious vertically integrated approach: design & manufacture of small satellites combined with development of earth observation services.

Since its creation in 2018, the company has already grown substantially. Our team gathers more than 25 engineering expertise, from hardware design to software development & data science.

In 2026, Aerospacelab counts offices in Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgium), Toulouse (France), Lausanne (Switzerland) and US West Coast with more than 400 full-time employees, with the ambition to position itself as the European leader in small satellites.

Your mission

Reporting to the Head of Finance and working alongside two Senior Accountants in a growing team, you will own the bookkeeping of some of our affiliates in close collaboration with the local controller. Beyond day-to-day accounting, you will shape how our Finance function scales — building controls, standardising practices and digitalising the way we work.

We expect you to be curious, pragmatic, accurate and proactive: someone who challenges the status quo and brings concrete improvements to the table.
