Product Manager

Location: San Francisco, California
Remote: Hybrid
Type: Permanent
Job #8255
Salary: NON 180,000

We’re partnering with a fast-growing space technology company building software that is changing how satellite missions are planned, coordinated and operated.

They’re looking for a technically minded Product Manager to take ownership of a core mission planning product used by operators to schedule activities, manage operational constraints and turn mission objectives into executable plans.

This is an opportunity to inherit an established, widely used product and take it to its next stage, improving the experience for existing customers while pushing towards increasingly automated and autonomous mission planning.

You’ll also help shape the direction of an emerging product area focused on payload operations and collaboration between different mission stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

Own the product roadmap and vision for mission planning and scheduling capabilities.
Take ownership of an established product and determine how it should evolve based on customer feedback, usage and market needs.
Drive the transition from manual planning processes towards increasingly automated, constraint-aware scheduling.
Work closely with spacecraft operators, mission planners, payload teams and customers to understand complex operational workflows.
Translate scheduling challenges, dependencies, priorities and operational constraints into intuitive product capabilities.
Partner closely with software engineering and product design from discovery through delivery.
Contribute to technical and architectural discussions and make informed product trade-offs.
Help define the future direction of an emerging product supporting payload and multi-party mission operations.
Define product success metrics and use customer feedback and data to continuously improve the platform.
Visit customers and represent the product at relevant industry conferences.

Key Requirements

3+ years of Product Management experience within autonomous systems, aerospace, space technology or another complex technical environment.
Experience owning and maturing an existing software product.
Strong understanding of scheduling, mission planning, resource allocation or similarly constraint-heavy operational problems.
Comfortable working closely with highly technical engineering teams.
Strong product discovery skills with the ability to turn complex user workflows into intuitive experiences.
Experience balancing immediate customer requirements against longer-term product strategy.
Able to operate effectively in areas where the product direction is not yet fully defined.
Strong communication and cross-functional leadership skills.
Must meet applicable U.S. export-control requirements and be able to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance.

You’ll have ownership of a product already being used in live mission operations, with the mandate to make it smarter, more scalable and increasingly autonomous. At the same time, you’ll have room to influence new product strategy as the platform expands to support more complex missions, larger fleets and a broader range of operators.

The company offers a high-ownership environment, strong benefits, flexible location options across its U.S. hubs and the opportunity to have a direct impact on real-world space missions.

Contract BD – Golden Dome

Location: Long Beach, California
Remote: Remote
Type: Contract
Job #8246

Contract Business Development Consultant — Golden Dome

United States (Remote)

Open hourly rate

6-month contract – 20 hours per week +

Fully remote (US-based)

A space & defense company is hiring a Business Development Consultant to open the Golden Dome market through a 6-month engagement.

The infrastructure is built, the program is moving. What’s needed is a BD lead who has sold into missile defense or hypersonic test programs before, can build a pipeline without a long runway, and can carry it from first meeting to award on a fixed clock.

What you’ll be doing

Own the Golden Dome market as the sole business development consultant on the account.
Map the stakeholders, program offices, primes and budget lines behind Golden Dome hypersonic testing and test-vehicle launch, and turn that into a named target list within the first month.
Secure first meetings with program managers, contracting officers and prime-contractor capture leads, and qualify each opportunity against what the company can deliver on its current timeline.
Shape capture plans for test campaigns at the company’s site: vacuum, high-G, materials and wind-tunnel testing, and test-vehicle launch.
Draft responses to RFIs, BAAs and OTA proposals alongside the CEO and the engineering team, with the technical claims kept accurate.
Run a weekly pipeline review with the CEO: what moved, what stalled, what needs an engineering answer, what needs a decision.
Convert an initial test campaign into a multi-year test-services program of record.

What you’ll need

Business development or capture experience selling into the DoD, with awards you can name.
A live network across hypersonic test and missile-defense stakeholders: OSD, MDA, the Space Force, test ranges and the primes.
A working knowledge of DoD contracting mechanisms: BAAs, OTAs, SBIR/STTR, IDIQs, sole-source and cost-plus versus firm-fixed-price.
Experience selling test services, flight-test capacity or novel test infrastructure rather than standard components.
A record of opening a market from a standing start — first meeting to first award — rather than managing an inherited book.
Comfort representing engineering claims accurately to a technical customer without overstating them.
Judgement to qualify out early: this is a 20-hour-per-week engagement and the pipeline has to be real.

Interested – Click apply with an updated copy of your resume. I’ll come back to you within 48 hours. If you don’t hear back within 48 hours, please assume you haven’t been successful on this occasion.
