Sales and Business Development Professional – NewSpace
We’re partnering with an established RF technology manufacturer as they make a significant investment into their commercial space business.
With decades of engineering expertise and technology already flown across hundreds of space payloads, the business is now building a dedicated NewSpace organisation to accelerate its presence within the commercial space market.
They’re looking for a Business Development Manager who combines strong technical credibility with a genuine hunter mentality. This is an opportunity to build new business rather than inherit and manage an existing book of accounts.
Key Responsibilities
- Generate net-new pipeline across the commercial NewSpace market
- Identify, prioritise and engage high-value target accounts
- Open doors and develop relationships across engineering, program management and procurement teams
- Lead customer discovery conversations, including technical requirements discussions
- Translate customer requirements into commercial opportunities and proposals
- Manage opportunities through the complete sales cycle from initial engagement to close
- Develop strategic relationships and partnerships across the NewSpace ecosystem
- Represent the business at customer meetings, trade shows and industry events
- Act as the voice of the customer internally, working closely with engineering and product teams
- Provide market intelligence to help influence future product development
Key Requirements
- 10+ years of experience within the space industry
- Proven track record of generating and closing net-new business
- Experience selling complex, engineered hardware into technical customers
- Strong technical fluency across RF, communications or aerospace hardware
- Ability to engage credibly with engineering-level stakeholders
- Experience building pipeline from scratch rather than solely managing established accounts
- Proactive, self-directed and comfortable owning commercial targets
- U.S. Person status due to ITAR requirements
- Willingness to travel domestically and internationally
This is an opportunity to join an established technology business at a pivotal point in its commercial space growth.
If you have a strong NewSpace network, understand technically complex hardware sales and have a track record of turning new conversations into revenue, we’d like to hear from you.
