We are seeking motivated, creative, and exceptional people to join our world-class team.


As our Marketing Manager, you will be the core execution engine driving our digital presence and campaign deployment as we build the future of lunar operations. In this role, there is no pre-built playbook.

You will spend your days collaborating cross-functionally with our engineering, sales, and social leadership, translating complex aerospace capabilities into our brand voice, high-impact content for investors, space agencies, and the public. From setting up our foundational CRM workflows and scaling output with modern AI tools to managing the logistics for content productions, you will handle whatever gets thrown over the fence with agility, speed, and a relentless focus on execution.

• Social Architecture Support: Partner with our strategic leadership to handle the day-to-day tactical execution, scheduling, publishing, and front-line management of our social feeds.
• Modern Workflow Leverage: Utilize advanced digital workflows and AI productivity tools to scale output, optimize messaging, and keep marketing operations exceptionally lean and agile.

Content Production & Asset Creation

• End-to-End Content Delivery: Script, draft, and assemble high-quality marketing collateral, copy variants, and digital assets across text, visual, or email formats.
• Brand Stewardship: Maintain a sharp eye for precision, ensuring all external communication reflects our core brand voice, positioning frameworks, and strict technical accuracy without sacrificing execution speed.

Operational Foundations & Baseline Tracking

• Infrastructure Management: Own the day-to-day configuration and hygiene of our core marketing stack (CRM database, email automation systems, and digital tools).
• Performance Visibility: Establish clean, baseline tracking for all active campaigns to deliver simple, actionable performance data to leadership-proving what works and identifying when to pivot.
