About the Role:
The Sales Operations Manager owns complex quote support and operational execution while influencing strategy, systems, and process design across the revenue engine. This role acts as a key cross-functional leader, driving consistency, scalability, and compliance across quote-to-cash and broader RevOps initiatives.
This is a global role supporting cross-regional stakeholders. While primary support will focus on local/regional AEs and Sales Managers, the role requires collaboration across time zones and flexibility in work schedules to meet business needs. Participation in global RevOps cadences, including the weekly Thursday Broader RevOps Sync, is required.
This is a full-time, hybrid role which will require you to work from our Berlin office 3 days per week.
Impact You’ll Own:
- Own complex and non-standard deal structures, including pricing exceptions, amendments, and multi-element agreements
- Ensure all quotes are compliant with SOX, revenue recognition, and booking policies
- Influence upstream deal behavior by educating Sales on best practices and policy implications
- Transition from user to system thinker—understanding how changes impact downstream processes
- Extract insights from operational data and translate them into actionable recommendations
- Recommend, lead and manage scalable process improvements from design through implementation
- Document and standardize processes to support growth and audit readiness
- Act as a trusted advisor to Sales leadership, Finance, Legal and cross-functional partners
- Proactively surface trends, risks, and improvement opportunities
What You Bring:
- 6+ years of experience in Revenue Operations, Sales Operations, Deal Desk, or Finance Operations
- Bachelor’s Degree in a relevant field
- Experience supporting global, multi-segment sales organizations
- Ownership of complex quote-to-cash processes across regions
- Experience partnering directly with Sales Directors, Finance leadership, Accounting, Legal, and Systems teams
What Makes You Stand Out:
- You think like a revenue architect — understanding how quoting decisions impact forecasting, accounting, renewals, and long-term customer value
- You bring structured recommendations to leadership, not just summaries
- You’ve influenced global process standardization while navigating regional complexity

Planet is a global company with employees working remotely world wide and joining us from offices in San Francisco, Washington DC, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, and The Netherlands.
About the Role:
The Workplace team seeks a motivated office coordinator and receptionist to care for our Planet employees. From the moment an employee or guest walks through the door, you ensure they feel welcomed, supported, and inspired.
Planet’s culture ties heavily to our physical office, our “mothership,” and keeping it running smoothly will be your job! Sitting in the People/Experience team, this junior role at Planet shapes our employee engagement and guest experience, providing one-of-a-kind touches, signifying that all have entered an amazing community.
In addition to overseeing all tactical office and vendor management, you will also be part of designing opportunities to build relationships and foster teamwork in person. The workforce has a consistent and growing office presence, and you will help shape what it’s like to be a “Planeteer.” Creating and gauging interest in new community programming, providing opportunities to socialize in person or virtually, and executing unique events to connect.
We invite you to join our team if you have a combination of excellent customer service skills, a hands-on attitude, and a passion for efficient procedures and policies. Your personal motto is to be “proactive and not reactive,” and you pride yourself on handling multiple concerns at once, all while being composed in pressure situations. You will join a solid team, where collaboration is required, and where Planet’s company and culture takes precedence over all else. This is a junior level opportunity, where someone can grow within the Planet team.
This is a full-time, in-office position based in our Berlin office 5 days per week.
Impact You’ll Own:
- Act as the first point of contact for all visitors, customers, and employees, providing a warm, professional, and uniquely "Planet" welcome.
- Oversee the daily flow of the office, ensuring common areas, meeting rooms, and reception are always guest-ready and functional.
- Act as the office procurement specialist. You’ll own the inventory for office supplies, branded swag, and food and beverage stocks.
- Manage workplace services including daily catering/food ordering and office service vendors to ensure seamless delivery.
- Support leadership to analyze historical data and occupancy trends to help forecast the future needs of our Berlin workspace.
- Imagine and execute programming — events and initiatives that align with our mission of sustainability and global impact.
- Be a teammate that others want to follow. You’ll collaborate actively with Facilities and Workplace Managers to solve problems creatively and maintain a high-energy, positive atmosphere.
- Other duties as the role evolves.
What You Bring:
- Professional experience in high-touch environments such as hospitality, front-of-house restaurant management, event planning, or high-level administrative support.
- Bilingual in English and German. You can switch seamlessly between both languages in professional writing and spoken conversation. (Note: Our internal business language is English).
- Comfortable navigating office software, vendor portals, and basic data tracking to keep the office running efficiently.
What Makes You Stand Out:
- You can manage ten tasks at once without ever dropping a ball or letting the "stress" show to the end-user. You thrive in a dynamic environment.
- You have a genuine appreciation for humankind. You understand how to communicate effectively with diverse personalities and cultures—reminding us all that "we are in this together."
- You want to make the office a better place, but never at the expense of mother Earth. You look for green solutions in procurement and programming.
- You aren’t afraid to ask “why" or "how can we do this better?" You have a keen sense of curiosity and a hunger to learn.
- You believe in the power of teamwork. You understand that our diverse skill sets should complement one another to create a result greater than the sum of its parts.
Application Deadline:
July 22, 2026 by 11:59p / 23:59 CET (Central European Time)

Welcome to Planet. We believe in using space to help life on Earth.
Planet designs, builds, and operates the largest constellation of imaging satellites in history. This constellation delivers an unprecedented dataset of empirical information via a revolutionary cloud-based platform to authoritative figures in commercial, environmental, and humanitarian sectors. We are both a space company and data company all rolled into one.
Customers and users across the globe use Planet's data to develop new technologies, drive revenue, power research, and solve our world’s toughest obstacles.

About the Role:
We are looking for a Senior Product Designer to design and launch geospatial web applications that transform satellite data into mission-critical intelligence. You will help build our next-generation monitoring platform, designed to provide near real-time observability of any location on Earth.
While our foundation includes environmental and agricultural monitoring, we are rapidly expanding our core capabilities to support Defense & Intelligence (D&I) and Global Monitoring Services. You will play a key role in evolving this platform into a scalable system built for both tactical decision-making and global-scale analytics.
You bring a track record of designing sophisticated, data-heavy geospatial applications, ideally featuring AI-powered tools or complex enterprise data visualization. You will help shape a frontend architecture that remains performant and intuitive for everything from regional security assessments to global resource management.
This is a full-time, hybrid role requiring 3 days per week in our Berlin, Haarlem, Graz or Ljubljana offices.

- Product Design Ownership: Lead the end-to-end process from discovery and prototyping to high-fidelity design.
- GIS Interface Design: Create intuitive, powerful geospatial interfaces that translate complex data into actionable insights.
- User Research: Gather feedback and conduct user interviews in close collaboration with product partners.
- UI Architecture: Define and architect the interaction patterns and design system for Planet’s monitoring platform.
- Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner with product and engineering to ensure top-tier design quality.
- Culture: Help build and elevate Planet's design culture.
What You Bring:
- 6+ years of experience designing complex digital products, especially bringing new technical, SaaS, or B2B products to market.
- Bachelor’s degree in design or an equivalent field.
- End-to-end experience: taking projects from early ideation to live software, and iterating based on feedback.
- Proficiency in Figma and enterprise design systems.
- A solid portfolio demonstrating complex professional projects, your process, and the resulting impact.
- Experience conducting lightweight user research and usability testing, synthesizing findings into actionable improvements.
- A solid core skillset: UX/UI, interaction design, rapid prototyping, accessibility, and visual design principles.
- Ability to work quickly in undefined and ambiguous environments

Welcome to Planet. We believe in using space to help life on Earth.
Planet designs, builds, and operates the largest constellation of imaging satellites in history. This constellation delivers an unprecedented dataset of empirical information via a revolutionary cloud-based platform to authoritative figures in commercial, environmental, and humanitarian sectors. We are both a space company and data company all rolled into one.
Customers and users across the globe use Planet's data to develop new technologies, drive revenue, power research, and solve our world’s toughest obstacles.
As we control every component of hardware design, manufacturing, data processing, and software engineering, our office is a truly inspiring mix of experts from a variety of domains.
We have a people-centric approach toward culture and community and we strive to iterate in a way that puts our team members first and prepares our company for growth. Join Planet and be a part of our mission to change the way people see the world.
Planet is a global company with employees working remotely world wide and joining us from offices in San Francisco, Washington DC, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, and The Netherlands.
About the Role:
Planet is building its second global satellite manufacturing hub in Berlin — and with it, rapidly scaling a European team that spans manufacturing operations, hardware engineering, commercial functions, and corporate support. The EMEA hiring plan is one of the most concentrated growth areas in the company, and the quality of our pipeline is the single biggest determinant of whether we hit our targets. We need a dedicated Sourcer in Berlin to build the candidate pipelines that fuel this growth.
As Sourcer for EMEA, you will be responsible for identifying, engaging, and qualifying passive candidates for roles across Planet's European footprint. Your primary focus will be the Berlin hub — manufacturing engineers, satellite integration and test specialists, hardware designers, and operations professionals — but you will also build pipeline for commercial and corporate roles across the region as demand requires. You are not filling requisitions yourself; you are building the top of the funnel so that our Talent Acquisition Partners can focus on assessment, hiring manager partnership, and closing.
This role requires genuine talent market expertise in the European engineering and manufacturing landscape. You will need to know where to find candidates with satellite, aerospace, or precision manufacturing experience in Germany and across Europe — which companies produce them, which universities develop them, which professional communities they belong to, and what motivates them to consider a move. You will map talent pools proactively, build relationships with passive candidates over time, and create a pipeline that is ready when requisitions open rather than starting from scratch every time.
You will work closely with the EMEA Talent Acquisition Partners, sharing market intelligence and calibrating on candidate profiles so that the candidates you deliver are well-matched to hiring manager expectations. You will report to the Senior Manager, Talent Acquisition, who directs sourcing effort across all pods based on where the biggest pipeline gaps exist each quarter. While your primary alignment is EMEA, your sourcing focus may shift across role types and business areas as demand evolves — the constant is your market, not a single function.
This is a full-time, hybrid role which will require you to work from our Berlin office and manufacturing facility 3 days per week.
Impact You’ll Own:
- Build and maintain candidate pipelines for EMEA roles across engineering, manufacturing, and commercial functions — with a primary focus on the Berlin hub's hardware engineering and manufacturing operations hiring needs.
- Proactively map the European talent landscape for Planet's hardest-to-fill disciplines — identifying target companies, academic programs, professional communities, and talent concentrations that produce the candidates our hiring managers need.
- Source and engage passive candidates through direct outreach, leveraging LinkedIn, professional networks, industry events, referral channels, and creative sourcing strategies tailored to the European market.
- Qualify candidates through initial screening conversations — assessing technical background, motivation, location preferences, compensation expectations, and cultural fit before advancing them to the Talent Acquisition Partner.
- Partner with the EMEA Talent Acquisition Partner to calibrate on role requirements, share market intelligence, and ensure a tight feedback loop between sourcing output and hiring manager expectations.
- Build evergreen pipelines for recurring role types — particularly manufacturing technicians, integration and test engineers, and hardware design engineers — so that pipeline is ready before requisitions open rather than built reactively.
- Track and report on sourcing metrics including outreach volume, response rates, screening-to-interview conversion, and source-of-hire attribution — using data to continuously refine your approach and demonstrate pipeline impact.
- Coordinate with the North America-based Sourcer to share sourcing strategies, coordinate on candidates who may be open to relocation, and maintain a consistent candidate experience across geographies.
- Contribute to sourcing tooling and process improvement — sharing what works in the European market, testing new outreach channels, and helping build a sourcing playbook that scales as the EMEA team grows.
What You Bring:
- 4+ years of sourcing or recruiting experience, with a meaningful portion focused on engineering, manufacturing, or technical roles in the European market.
- Bachelor’s Degree in a relevant field.
- Ability to source passive candidates for hard-to-fill technical roles — you have built pipelines in competitive talent markets where the best candidates are not actively looking and require sustained, thoughtful engagement.
- Solid knowledge of the European engineering talent landscape — you understand where hardware, manufacturing, and aerospace talent concentrates geographically, which employers are the primary talent sources, and how the European job market differs from North America.
- Excellent candidate engagement skills — your outreach messages get responses because they are personalized, relevant, and demonstrate genuine understanding of the candidate's background and potential fit.
- Experience using LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search, and alternative sourcing channels effectively — you have a toolkit beyond basic keyword searches and can find candidates that others miss.
- Solid written and verbal communication skills.
- A data-oriented approach to sourcing — you track your own metrics, understand your conversion rates at each stage, and use that data to adjust your strategy rather than relying on volume alone.
- Ability to work independently, manage your own pipeline, and prioritize across multiple open sourcing projects without losing momentum on any of them.
What Makes You Stand Out:
- Direct experience sourcing for aerospace, satellite, or precision manufacturing roles in Germany or broader Europe — you already have networks and market maps in the disciplines Planet hires for.
- Experience supporting a manufacturing facility buildout or ramp, where hiring velocity and pipeline readiness were critical to operational timelines.
- Familiarity with the Berlin technology and engineering talent ecosystem specifically — including knowledge of local employers, university programs, and professional communities.
- Experience sourcing for roles that require security clearances, export control compliance, or other regulatory constraints that limit the eligible candidate pool.
- Track record of building referral networks and talent communities — you don't just find individual candidates, you build relationships that generate ongoing pipelines over time.

AI in Our Interviewing Process: Planet is committed to providing an exceptional interview experience for all candidates.

Opting out will not affect one's candidacy.
Candidate AI Policy: Planet embraces Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, and we encourage its responsible use. We understand that candidates may use various resources, including AI tools, to prepare for interviews and assessments. However, during any live interview stage or when actively completing assessments for this position, the use of AI tools—e.g. Large Language Models (LLMs), deep fake technology, etc.—is strictly prohibited unless explicitly prompted by an interviewer or assessment instructions. If you are unsure about acceptable use, please contact your recruiter for clarification. If an AI tool or similar technology is desired as an accommodation, please contact accommodations@planet.com with your request for assistance. Your message will be confidential, and we will be happy to assist you. Violation of this policy may result in disqualification of your application.
