What is the role? As a Business Development Manager you will proactively identify and pursue new business opportunities within the US satellite and space hardware sector.

You will work closely with business development, engineering, and product/mission teams to scope solutions, build winning proposals, and accelerate sales cycles. The position is based in Washington, DC but offers remote‑flexible work with occasional travel to industry conferences and customer visits.

Qualifications 5–10 years of experience in business development, sales, or account management in satellite, space, or aerospace. Experience in direct sales of satellites, satellite components, or mission services with complex, multi‑month sales cycles. Proven track record of prospecting, pursuing, and closing new business—not just managing existing accounts. Wide network of space industry contacts and professional connections; a deep regional network in the new‑space commercial ecosystem is a plus. Comfortable building your own pipeline from zero; strong ownership mindset and urgency. Excellent written, verbal, and presentation communication skills; able to interface with engineers and executives alike. Previous experience with CRM systems and Microsoft 365. Willingness to travel 30–40 % for conferences, customer meetings, and events. Based in Washington (or willing to relocate). US citizen or US permanent resident.

Aggressive, uncapped commission structure. Full autonomy over your territory—no micromanagement; direct line to leadership for fast decisions.
