Bringing space closer to Earth. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
Albedo is redefining how to meet USG mission objectives from very low Earth orbit, and our national security business is scaling quickly. We're building out our BD team and hiring a Business Development and Capture Manager to leverage trusted customer relationships across the DoW and IC and convert mission challenges into captured opportunities. You'll help set the direction as much as execute it; shaping strategy, teaming, and win approaches alongside our capture and engineering teams.
What they're looking for
- Experience in national security space or government acquisition, either from the industry BD/capture side or the government side (program managers, contracting officers, COTRs who understand how buyers evaluate)
- Recent DoW/IC experience strongly preferred
- Strong understanding of relevant mission areas such as ISR, GEOINT, SIGINT, AMTI, multi-domain killchains, space warfighting, or space domain awareness (SDA)
- Demonstrated success supporting or leading capture campaigns
- Proven ability to manage customer relationships and long-term campaigns
- Excellent communication skills across technical, operational, and executive audiences
More about this role
Albedo is making Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) mainstream, building the infrastructure to enable every satellite mission to enter this new orbital domain. We build buses, integrated satellites, and turnkey missions for customers to thrive in VLEO, below 300 km, where proximity compounds performance and drag self-cleans debris.
As part of the first 100 employees at Albedo, you will have a big impact on Albedo’s trajectory to proliferating VLEO — whether you’re advancing hardware to increase satellite longevity, scaling production for large constellations, building next-gen flight and ground software to push performance, or enabling missions that matter for national security and our day-to-day life here on Earth.
How We Operate: Albedo takes a first-principles approach — in space and in business. We move with speed, take calculated risks, and learn quickly. We use AI regularly to create leverage in every discipline across the company. We work in-person at our Broomfield, CO HQ to maximize team and company productivity. We work hard and with urgency to compound our first-mover advantage.
Who We're Looking For: Builders who want to own outcomes, not tasks. Systems thinkers who balance...
