The role
Sateliot is a satellite company based in Barcelona with one goal: to connect everything, anywhere. Founded in 2018, we have built the first satellite constellation that allows standard commercial devices to communicate directly from space. Our technology covers the gaps that terrestrial networks will never reach, bringing affordable and secure connectivity to industries, governments, and communities across the planet.
It is a hybrid role between project control and Finance. You will be responsible for the economic control of Sateliot's funded projects: cost tracking, documentation for grant justification, and uploading and validating data on the official platforms of the funding entities. You will also provide support to the Finance department in its day-to-day operations: budget tracking, supplier invoices, monthly closing, and financial reporting.
It is a key position to keep the economic and administrative documentation of our projects organized, traceable, and compliant with the requirements of each grant, and to help Finance operate with clear processes and reliable figures.
What you'll do
Economic management of R&D projects
Perform economic tracking of projects and control associated costs (payroll, payroll payments, Modelo 190, timesheets).
Manage and track invoicing associated with projects.
Prepare, review, and organize the economic documentation necessary to justify grants, following the format and structure required by each funding entity.
Review and use official platforms: upload and validate the economic data of the various projects.
Track timesheets, staff dedication, and the allocation of personnel costs to funded projects.
Prepare supporting documentation for audits and respond to information requests.
Coordinate with clients, auditors, accounting firms, funding entities, and other external agents when necessary.
Provide occasional support to the patent team in administrative management: tracking deadlines and related procedures.
Support to the Finance department
Assist in monthly budget tracking by cost center and in variance analysis.
Provide support in the management of supplier invoices: analytical classification by cost center and project, and resolution of issues with internal departments and suppliers.
Provide support in the accounting process and monthly closing (accruals, reconciliations, documentation), in coordination with the external accounting firm.
Contribute to the annual budgeting process and forecasting exercises.
Participate in the design and maintenance of dashboards and financial reporting.
Create, document, and maintain department processes, with a focus on improving and automating them.
Provide support in economic analysis and other Finance activities according to business needs.
