What is the role?As a motivated Business Development Manager, you will proactively identify and pursue new business opportunities within the US satellite and space hardware sector. You will own your territory end-to-end: identify targets, open doors, build relationships, and close deals. You will work closely with business development, engineering, and product/mission teams to scope solutions, build winning proposals, and accelerate sales cycles. Your focus will be on building strong, long-term client relationships, driving revenue growth, and expanding our market presence across commercial satellite operators, aerospace, and adjacent tech sectors.
This is an individual-contributor role for true hunters. It is based in Denver, Colorado, where we are building a high-performing and fast-paced team. The position will be primarily on-site and in person at the office, with occasional travel to industry conferences and visiting customers.

- Coordinate commercial efforts across teams and other EnduroSat departments; feed market intelligence to product and leadership
- Keep informed about space industry trends, space capabilities, and best practices

We're not looking for order-takers. We're looking for hunters who will out-hustle, out-network, and out-close. If that's you, let's talk.
