The ideal candidate is an execution‑focused, highly motivated operator with experience in business development, partnerships, growth, and/or sales within consumer technology, telecommunications, or subscription‑based services.

• Represent Starlink in external discussions with prospective commercial partners and community stakeholders
• Lead local marketing and awareness initiatives including field marketing, community events, trade shows, retail activations, and grassroots campaigns
• Build Starlink’s brand presence and visibility throughout the region
• Collect and synthesize customer and partner feedback to influence product offerings, pricing strategies, and go‑to‑market approaches
• Track and report on subscriber acquisition performance, partner productivity, and campaign / growth initiative ROI
• Collaborate with sales, product, marketing, operations, engineering, and finance teams to execute scalable growth programs
• Develop and execute pilots and growth experiments to identify high‑performing acquisition channels

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in business, marketing, economics, engineering, or a related field

• Expertise in the consumer purchasing behavior within the region, particularly in rural areas
