Summary Generated by Built In

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today, SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary and expanding consciousness to the stars.
SpaceXSI is building Super Intelligence to help humanity understand the universe. Our teams are building the full Super Intelligence stack: from our Colossus supercomputers, to Grok models, to our suite of applications, including Grok Bot, Grok Build, Grok Imagine, Grok Voice, and X. We're creating a powerful flywheel where more compute trains better models, better models power more useful products, and what we learn from people using those products shapes what we build next.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

SpaceX is developing a new satellite-to-mobile network to bring ubiquitous cellular connectivity worldwide via the Starlink constellation. We are partnering with telecommunication companies around the world to bring this service directly from satellites to mobile phones, with the goal of providing coverage anywhere a phone can see the sky. 

Starlink was designed to connect the disconnected and this new product will greatly expand that mission by extending coverage to billions of existing cellular devices. The applications range from connecting hikers in national parks, emergency responders, rural communities, remote sensors and devices, and people in emergency situations. You can learn more about the next chapter of the Starlink Mobile program here.

Combined with new state-of-the-art satellite technologies, exclusive spectrum, and Starship’s unprecedented payload capacity to low-Earth orbit in a single launch, Starlink Mobile’s next generation service will deliver unparalleled performance to cell phones and IoT devices – helping to close coverage gaps and ultimately eliminate mobile dead zones around the world.

In this role, you will take ownership of assigned client relationships and commercial opportunities to expand Starlink Mobile globally. While you will receive direct mentorship from your leaders, your work will be largely self-directed. SpaceX evolves rapidly, and you will be a critical asset to the sales team as we work to collectively advance our presence in the telecommunications market globally.

  • Meet with the executive team to review business development opportunities, strategy, and current market landscape
  • Represent SpaceX in various forums, including conferences, SpaceX events, technology panels, etc.
  • Ability to adapt and work effectively in a dynamic environment with changing needs and requirements
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in a STEM or business disciple
  • 10+ years of experience in a business development or sales role
  • 7+ years of technical sales experience or experience working in the telecommunications industry
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
  • Strong understanding of satellites, global telecommunications industry, and/or NTN and satellite-based systems
