About the role

KSATlite operates a global network of ground stations that keeps satellites connected around the clock. Behind that reliability is a supply chain of business-critical hardware and software, and we need someone who takes that seriously. As our Operations & Procurement Specialist, you will own the end-to-end flow: from supplier relationships and purchase orders through logistics, deployment, and rigorous ERP management.

This is a hands-on, cross-functional role where timing and precision matter. You will work directly with engineering and product teams to ensure the right equipment arrives at the right place at the right time, and that every transaction is properly tracked, invoiced, and reconciled in our ERP system.
The position can be based in Tromsø, Trondheim or Oslo.

What you will own

Procurement of hardware and software

Purchase order lifecycle and tracking

Logistics and deployment coordination

ERP system ownership and data integrity

Compliance and legal alignment

Invoice processing and reconciliation

Inventory and asset management

Planning and scheduling with engineering teams

Contracts and supplier agreements

Experience in procurement, logistics, or supply chain management, ideally in a tech or industrial environment

High degree of structure and rigour: you keep records clean, processes tight, and nothing falls through the cracks

Hands-on experience with an ERP system; Microsoft Dynamics 365 is a strong plus

Ability to manage multiple concurrent processes without losing track of deadlines or dependencies

Strong supplier communication skills, you build relationships that work under pressure

Understanding of what business-critical means: you know when timing is non-negotiable and plan accordingly

Comfortable working closely with technical teams, translating hardware and software needs into procurement actions

Responsibilities

Manage the full procurement cycle from requisition to delivery and payment

Maintaining and renewing contracts and supplier agreements

Build relationships with key hardware and software suppliers

Coordinate logistics and deployment of equipment across KSATlite locations and ground stations

Act as a key user in ERP modules for procurement and logistics, ensuring data accuracy, process compliance, and clean audit trails

Handle invoicing, PO matching, and reconciliation with finance

Work with engineering and operations teams to anticipate needs and plan procurement timelines

Work with legal to ensure procurement activities adhere to relevant regulations

Identify risks in the supply chain early and drive mitigation actions proactively

Collaborate with the supply chain team to contribute to improving and standardising procurement and logistics processes as the company scales

Nice to have

Familiarity with export control regulations and compliance requirements

Experience with international supplier networks and cross-border logistics

Competitive salary conditions, training courses, training room at work that employees are free to use, very good health insurance and pension schemes, telephone and mobile subscriptions, company cabin, support for sports, etc
