Summary Generated by Built In

At Relativity Space, we’re building rockets to serve today’s needs and tomorrow’s breakthroughs. Our Terran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit, meeting the growing demand for launch capacity. But that’s just the start. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock new opportunities to advance science, exploration, and innovation, pioneering progress that reaches beyond the known.

Joining Relativity means becoming part of something where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level. Here, you're not just executing tasks; you're solving problems that haven’t been solved before, helping develop a rocket, a factory, and a business from the ground up. Whether you’re in propulsion, manufacturing, software, avionics, or a corporate function, you’ll collaborate across teams, shape decisions, and see your work come to life in record time. Relativity is a place where creativity and technical rigor go hand in hand, and your voice will help define the stories we’re writing together. Now is a unique moment in time where it’s early enough to leave your mark on the product, the process, and the culture, but far enough along that Terran R is tangible and picking up momentum. The most meaningful work of your career is waiting. Join us.

About the Team: 

The People team is a core enabler of the business, with a true seat at the table and broad visibility across the company. From compensation and benefits to performance and onboarding, the team takes a comprehensive approach to supporting employees and leaders alike. We embed ourselves into departments, understanding needs and shaping the foundational strategies that will help individuals thrive as the company scales. Every challenge is an opportunity to solve for what really matters, with agility, empathy, and creativity.

About the Role:

  • Own key compensation workstreams (market pricing, offer review, structure upkeep, audits) end-to-end; complete tasks independently while seeking input on priorities when needed.
  • Price niche and hard-to-match aerospace roles by triangulating multiple sources (surveys, peer benchmarks, role architecture) and documenting rationale and limitations.
  • Flag misalignments within job and compensation architecture while proposing pragmatic fixes that consider upstream/downstream impacts (TA, HR, Finance, Managers).
  • Build clear analyses and decision memos translating data insights into actionable stories that influence team goals—e.g., range refreshes, geographic differentials, shift/skill premiums, and manufacturing pay practices. Improve processes from the lens of automation: identify inefficiencies, pilot solutions, document standards, and share knowledge.
  • Partner with Total Rewards and internal People Team members on annual business rhythms; occasionally guide the work of others on a project basis. 

About You:

  • Solid command of core compensation tools and methods (market surveys, slotting/matching, structure modeling, compa-ratio analysis, aging, leveling); know when quick analysis is enough and when deeper rigor is warranted.
  • Working knowledge of compliance and risk areas affecting pay decisions (FLSA, pay transparency, differentials/shift pay, internal equity principles); sound judgment with the ability to self-identify misses.
  • Strong prioritization and time-management habits—able to juggle urgent People Team needs with planned projects, communicate blockers early, and suggest paths forward.
  • Clear, concise communication skills: explain complex trade-offs to non-experts, present options with pros/cons, and document decisions for cross-functional partners.
  • Growth mindset and resilience: proactively seek mentorship, learn from wins and misses, and iterate; contribute to an inclusive, candid team culture and support junior teammates. 

Nice to haves but not required:  

  • Experience in high-growth or manufacturing/engineering environments is a plus
  • Workday
  • Advanced Excel/Sheets
  • At least one compensation platform (e.g., MarketPay, Radford/WTW, Comptryx) preferred. 

At Relativity Space, we are committed to transparency and fairness in our compensation practices. Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, qualifications, and other job-related factors.
Compensation is only one part of our total rewards package. Relativity Space offers competitive salary and equity, a generous PTO and sick leave policy, parental leave, an annual learning and development stipend, and more! To see some of the benefits & perks we offer, please visit here.
