The Vice President – Teleports & Ground Infrastructure & Infrastructure Business Unit leads Eutelsat’s global teleport and RF ground infrastructure portfolio, combining end-to-end operational accountability with P&L ownership of the Ground Infrastructure Business Unit – a new internal business created to generate third party revenues from Eutelsat’s passive ground assets.

This role has two distinct but interdependent mandates. First, it ensures the operational integrity of Eutelsat’s owned and contracted teleport infrastructure – the physical layer on which all satellite services depend. Second, it leads the Ground Infra BU as a standalone commercial entity, generating revenues by offering ground network services (antenna hosting, colocation, connectivity) to third party satellite operators, hyperscalers, and government customers on an operator-neutral basis.

This commercial mandate replaces prior structural alternatives and positions the Group to optimise and monetise its ground asset base internally.

The position reports directly to the COO and interfaces with the other teams in Operations and across the wider organization as an infrastructure provider and internal service partner.

• Protect service continuity across GEO and LEO ground infrastructure.
• Transform teleports from a cost base into a value-generating infrastructure platform.
• Maximise utilisation and return on capital across the global asset footprint.
• Build a scalable ground network as a service infrastructure business capable of future partnership and expansion.

This responsibility covers the physical and RF infrastructure layer only. The VP role is responsible for ensuring the infrastructure used by the wider business is available, maintained and developed.

• Full accountability for operational resilience, availability, and performance of owned and contracted teleport sites
