The role

Sateliot is a Barcelona-based satellite company with one goal: connect everything, everywhere. Founded in 2018, we've built the first satellite constellation that lets standard commercial devices communicate directly from space. Our technology bridges the gaps that terrestrial networks will never reach, bringing affordable and secure connectivity to industries, governments, and communities across the planet.

  • Manage the supplier invoice cycle: coordinate the flow with Procurement, control the pipeline of pending invoices and resolve issues with internal teams and suppliers.

  • Record invoices in the ERP and maintain supplier master data.

  • Classify invoices by cost center and project, and review that they are correctly allocated.

  • Prepare monthly payment proposals: check due dates, contractual terms and supporting documentation.

  • Execute payments (SEPA batches) and monthly payroll, and follow up on their correct posting.

  • Support the monthly closing process: accruals, provisions, reconciliations and review of entries.

  • Record and control fixed assets and inventory (assets under construction, capitalizations and depreciation), including physical-to-book reconciliation with the Supply Chain team.

  • Handle bank reconciliation, monitor cash position and support treasury forecasting.

  • Support the accounting of customer invoicing and employee expense management (cards and expense reports).

  • Coordinate subsidiary consolidation together with local advisors in each country, and support tax matters (VAT, SII, withholdings, Corporate Income Tax).

  • Coordinate the annual external audit and prepare supporting documentation.

  • Improve, document and automate the department's transactional processes.
