About the role
Reflect Orbital is hiring a Director of Mission Management to build and lead the function responsible for moving our spacecraft from mission planning to orbit. You will own Reflect’s company-wide launch and regulatory strategy while remaining directly involved in the execution of our most important missions. You’ll coordinate launch opportunities, regulatory approvals, spectrum access, launch-provider integration, mission schedules, and external deliverables across an increasingly ambitious constellation roadmap.
What they're looking for
- You have 8+ years of experience in spacecraft mission management, launch integration, launch services, regulatory affairs, satellite program management, or a closely related field. We care more about repeated mission ownership than years
- You have personally taken multiple spacecraft missions through launch-provider integration, regulatory approval, launch readiness, and launch
- You have deep familiarity with launch-provider processes, mission integration schedules, spacecraft data packages, safety reviews, interface requirements, launch campaigns, and readiness reviews
- You have strong working knowledge of FCC spacecraft licensing and spectrum coordination and can lead the process effectively alongside technical experts and outside counsel
- You have managed multiple missions, launch opportunities, or regulatory workstreams simultaneously and understand how to prioritize across a portfolio
- You have built a team, function, or operating system in an environment where the organization was growing faster than its existing processes
