Build the Market Leader in Satellite Analytics with us at LiveEO

LiveEO is a fast-growing Series B company in the geospatial analytics industry, providing satellite-based infrastructure monitoring solutions that help energy and railway companies detect risks, prevent outages, and increase safety.

We are now expanding aggressively across the Americas and are looking for a builder, not a caretaker - someone who thrives in ambiguity, creates momentum from scratch, and generates new opportunities that translate into multi-million-dollar annual pipeline and revenue.

This role is about building the partner ecosystem in North and South America - scouting, structuring, and scaling new partnerships that accelerate LiveEO's growth. You'll create go-to-market models, drive co-sell motions, and collaborate with energy and rail industry players to deliver tangible commercial impact.
