About General Galactic

General Galactic designs, builds, and flies advanced spacecraft that redefine what’s possible beyond Earth. Led by former SpaceX, Varda, Impulse, and Relativity engineers, our vision is to dominate cislunar space and build the railway to Mars – expanding access to high-energy orbits and enabling the next generation of missions along the way. Based in Los Angeles, California, we’re leveraging our paradigm-shifting water-based technology to reshape the space domain for good.



Job Description

This is a senior leadership role for an exceptional operator who can lead efforts across government relations, capture, engagement, policy, and sales. This is not a middle-management role or a purely administrative role. Ideal candidates will have experience selling space products to the US Government, experience operating in classified programs, and helping to formulate future programs of record.



As the company grows, this role will have significant ownership and say in the development of the General Galactic product and mission fleet, and help to enable a multiplanetary future.



Responsibilities May Include:

  • Source, capturie, and secure business with the United States Government, including NASA, the Space Force, Space Command, NRO, and broader military and intelligence enterprise.
  • Coordinate and lead briefings with government stakeholders and ensure counterparties are well-aware of General Galactic products
  • Spearhead new programs and proposals for government customers
  • Work with the business and customer-facing team to drive product decisions
  • Maintain high-performing startup pace and quality of execution
  • Maintain a strong culture around ownership, speed, high standards, and first-principles reasoning

Requirements

Successful applicants should have most of the following:

  • 6 years of experience in aerospace, defense, or other high-performance hardware/software companies
  • Direct experience working with or for the United States government (including military service and contractor roles)
  • Demonstrated ability to personally solve hard interpersonal problems and make sound decisions under uncertainty
  • Successful previous wins of government programs and contracts
  • Experience hiring or mentoring team members



Your salary and incentives will be determined individually on the basis of the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience.



Benefits include medical/vision/dental/PTO/401k/stock options, and more!
