Full Job Description
We're going to the Moon. Think you've got what it takes?

About the Role

At Advanced Space, we're enabling humanity's return to the Moon and building the technologies that will take us to Mars and beyond. We're looking for a Digital & Brand Lead to build, from the ground up, the digital presence and brand system to elevate a company of our technical caliber.

This position is based at our Westminster HQ, on-site or hybrid with substantial on-site presence. Travel is light for event support. U.S. person status is required, as this seat handles export-controlled content.

What You'll Actually Do

Own the web - including how we're found.

Own the website end to end: content architecture, page structure, publishing, and performance, along with a real publishing workflow from finished item through release review to live page. Own site analytics and instrumentation, and the technical relationship with any external web vendor or platform, with enough hands-on capability that routine changes don't require one. Own search and AI discoverability.

Own channels, distribution, and engagement.

Run company social channels end to end - presence, publishing calendar, engagement, and response. Own marketing automation and email distribution. Support the external presence of senior technical leaders (CEO, CTO, and the wider bench) with profile quality, visual consistency, and the channel mechanics that turn one appearance into sustained visibility. Own web and social for our affiliated non-profits, Aerospace Colorado and the Future Space Leaders Foundation. Coordinate the publishing calendar with the events team and direction so channels and moments reinforce each other.

Build and own the brand system.

Author the brand system: identity standards, usage rules, color and typography, imagery direction. Own visual and verbal consistency, provide design approval for branded merchandise, and bring a point of view on positioning.

Set the standard for visual and video production.

Own the quality bar and production pipeline for visual and video work. Coordinate mission visualization. Support tour video modules.

Who Thrives Here
  • You have 5+ years across digital marketing and brand in a B2B or technical environment, with genuine hands-on ownership.
  • You've demonstrated real website ownership - content architecture, CMS administration, publishing, and routine changes without needing a vendor.
  • You have technical SEO fundamentals plus a working point of view on how content becomes the source AI systems answer from.
  • You've run a company social presence end to end, including engagement and response.
  • You have marketing automation and email platform experience, and you're fluent in analytics - instrumentation, reporting, and interpretation.
  • You've built or substantially owned a brand system and templates.
  • You're based in the Denver metro area or willing to relocate.
  • You're comfortable working independently.
  • You're genuinely curious about the technical work.
  • You build systems, not one-offs - templates, standards, and workflows that outlive you.

Bonus Points if You Have Experience With
  • Aerospace, defense, or another technical or regulated environment - especially working inside content approval and export-control constraints.
  • Design and production capability: identity work, layout, presentation systems (portfolio welcome).
  • Video production and editing, or motion graphics.
  • Supporting executive or expert visibility programs.
  • Association, non-profit, or industry-body channels.
  • Employer branding and recruiting marketing.
  • Clearance eligibility - not required at hire, but useful as classified work grows.

Success is Measured By
  • AI answer presence and accuracy
  • Search visibility on target
  • Site engagement and conversion
  • Ecosystem channel activity and reach
  • Template adoption
  • Publish cycle time, paired with release-review compliance
  • Recruiting funnel contribution

Why Join Advanced Space
  • Build the digital presence and brand system for a company doing genuinely distinctive technical work - from the ground up, with real ownership.
  • Work alongside world-class engineers solving some of the aerospace industry's most challenging technical problems and making that work visible to the people who need to see it.
  • Play a key role in how NASA, the Department of War, and commercial space customers come to know and trust Advanced Space.
  • Be the first person in this seat - no legacy systems to work around, no backlog of someone else's decisions to inherit.
  • Join a team that's passionate about delivering innovation to orbit - and making sure the world knows it.

Compensation & Benefits
  • Base Salary: $105,000 - $140,000 (based on experience, qualifications, and location)
  • Signing bonus
  • Quarterly performance bonuses
  • Company-sponsored medical benefits and 401(k)
  • Flexible time off
  • Relocation assistance
