About us

One team. Global challenges. Infinite opportunities. At Viasat, we're on a mission to deliver connections with the capacity to change the world. For more than 35 years, Viasat has helped shape how consumers, businesses, governments and militaries around the globe communicate. We're looking for people who think big, act fearlessly, and create an inclusive environment that drives positive impact to join our team.

What you'll do

Our team builds data-driven products that directly drive Viasat's revenue growth by transforming how our sales teams operate. We create innovative data and software tools that sales teams use to close more deals and identify new opportunities.

The candidate will have the unique opportunity to work at the intersection of product strategy, technical development, and commercial impact. They'll lead the full product lifecycle from initial prototyping and wireframing through to measuring real revenue impact. This role offers exposure to executive-level stakeholders, partner organizations, and direct engagement with sales teams across the business, giving them visibility into how data products translate into measurable business outcomes.

What are the real-world implications of your work?

Our work directly impacts Viasat's bottom line, currently generating 2m per month in incremental contracted revenues. The data products we build help sales teams identify the right prospects faster and close deals more efficiently cross BU.

When we integrate new tools into sales workflows or deploy AI-driven lead identification, it translates into shorter sales cycles and higher win rates. This means sales professionals spend less time on manual research and more time focused on high-value activities that drive results.
Our tools also improve how Viasat's partner organizations operate, extending our reach and effectiveness across the broader sales ecosystem

Who other types of people will the candidate have the opportunity to work with at Viasat?

They'll collaborate with technical teams including data scientists, engineers, and analysts, while also working with business development professionals, customer success teams, and potentially external partners and resellers. This role offers unique exposure to both the technical and commercial sides of the business, from hands-on developers to strategic decision-makers shaping Viasat's future.
The hybrid nature of the role (2 days in London office) ensures regular face-to-face collaboration while maintaining flexibility for focused technical work.
