About Telesat
Telesat runs a geostationary fleet for broadcast, enterprise, aviation, maritime and government customers, and its sellers are now out ahead of Telesat Lightspeed, a low Earth orbit network due to start service in 2027 in commercial and military Ka-band (Mil-Ka), built to the MEF 3.0 Carrier Ethernet standard so carriers can run it as an extension of their own networks. The pitch goes to the C-suite and network planning heads of telcos, MNOs and managed service providers and to government buyers, and the deals are wholesale agreements and strategic partnerships measured in revenue and backlog. Selling is organized by region: senior account executives for Latin America and the Caribbean, covering the Andean countries and Mexico with Central America, work under the regional sales vice president, while in Asia-Pacific a director of business development in Seoul builds the South Korean market with telcos, enterprises and government and chases defence and government programs across ASEAN through system integrators and channel partners. Presales sits in the Global Customer Solutions group, whose customer solutions engineers gather requirements, design and cost the space and ground segment of a link, run modelling and test demonstrations and present the proposal, for LATAM and for Asia-Pacific; that seat asks for long experience in carrier networking (MPLS, Carrier Ethernet, MEF) and ideally satellite RF. The selling seats ask for ten years and more in telco, enterprise, government or defence business development, English with Spanish for Latin America (Korean an advantage in Seoul) and extensive regional travel, and headquarters in Ottawa adds a sales enablement specialist who builds training for the sales operations systems and must clear the Canadian Controlled Goods Program.

SalesJobs.Now is free for job seekers. Some links here pay us: a job ad network pays for a click on one of its sponsored jobs, a recruiting firm pays a referral fee when someone who came from here is hired, and a career tool pays a commission when you buy it. That costs you nothing and never lowers what you are paid. Roles whose links pay us can be placed higher in a list. "Featured roles" are openings an employer picked during a free trial with us; no employer can pay for that spot.

Pay at Telesat
Stated by the company, checked 2026-10-30From our research: stated by the company, checked 30 Oct 2026
Read from its postings on 30 Oct 2026: No sales posting states pay: the board's pay field is empty and the texts name no salary, commission, bonus or incentive plan. They differ in how the seat is engaged: the Latin American senior account executive seats and the Australian solutions engineer seat are listed as a contractor or consultant engaged through procurement, while the LATAM solutions engineer, the Seoul business development director and the Ottawa enablement specialist are full-time hires with benefits. The account executive postings measure success by revenue growth, backlog and profitability against the corporate plan, signed partnership contracts and customer satisfaction. Ask a contract seat for the fee, its currency and term, whether any success fee rides on signed backlog and whether the contract converts to employment; ask an employee seat for the base, the variable and whether it pays on bookings or on revenue as multi-year deals bill.
