\n
You will work closely with senior leadership and teams across sales engineering, product, engineering, mission operations, and our international organization. You'll be equally comfortable engaging founders and CEOs, CTOs and VPs of Engineering, and technical program leaders.
\n
The best opportunities don't begin as traditional sales opportunities—they begin with a customer trying to solve a difficult problem.
\n
\n\n
\nMarket Development: Identify high-potential companies, emerging constellations, and new mission opportunities across the Americas. Build relationships early and develop a deep understanding of customer strategy, funding, technical roadmaps, and mission plans.
\n\n
\nNew Business Creation: Proactively originate opportunities rather than relying primarily on inbound leads or established accounts. Identify where Loft's infrastructure can solve a customer problem before a formal requirement or RFP exists.
\n\n
\nStrategic Selling: Build relationships with founders, CEOs, CTOs, engineering leaders, mission owners, and other senior decision-makers. Understand their objectives and shape solutions that align Loft's capabilities with their broader business and technical strategy.
\n\n
\nProgram Development: Lead opportunities from an initial concept through pathfinder missions, demonstrations, first missions, and ultimately repeat or constellation-scale programs.
\n\n
\nFull-Cycle Business Development: Own opportunities through qualification, solution development, proposal, commercial negotiation, contracting, and close, partnering with the appropriate internal teams throughout the process.
\n\n
\nStrategic Partnerships: Develop relationships with spacecraft manufacturers, launch providers, data and analytics companies, systems integrators, and other ecosystem partners that can create new customer opportunities or expand Loft's reach.
\n\n
\nAccount Expansion: Turn successful initial missions into long-term customer relationships. Identify opportunities for additional spacecraft, missions, payloads, services, or constellation deployments.
\n\n
\nMarket Intelligence: Maintain a strong understanding of the commercial space ecosystem, including emerging companies, funding activity, new mission architectures, competitive dynamics, and evolving customer needs.
\n\n
\nCross-Functional Leadership: Bring together technical, commercial, and operational stakeholders to turn ambiguous customer needs into executable programs.
\n\n\n
\n\n
\n8+ years of experience in business development, strategic sales, partnerships, or an equivalent customer-facing role, with a strong track record of originating and closing complex opportunities.
\n\n
\nDeep understanding of the space industry and commercial space ecosystem, including satellite operators, spacecraft manufacturers, launch providers, space data companies, and related technology and infrastructure providers.
\n\n
\nDemonstrated success as a net-new business developer and hunter—someone who has created opportunities and opened new customers rather than primarily managing an established book of business.
\n\n
\nExperience selling complex technical products, services, or infrastructure through a consultative or solutions-oriented approach.
\n\n
\nAbility to build credibility with senior executive and technical stakeholders, from founders and CEOs to CTOs, engineering leaders, and program owners.
\n\n
\nDemonstrated ability to operate effectively in ambiguous, early-stage opportunities where the customer need, solution, or buying process may not yet be fully defined.
\n\n
\nExperience owning complex opportunities through the full business development and sales cycle, including solution development, proposals, commercial negotiations, and contracting.
\n\n
\nStrong commercial judgment and the ability to prioritize opportunities based on strategic value, probability of success, and long-term potential.
\n\n
\nExcellent communication, relationship-building, and negotiation skills.
\n\n
\nWillingness to travel regularly to meet customers and partners across the Americas.
\n\n\n
Existing relationships with commercial constellation companies, emerging space companies, or strategic players in the Americas space ecosystem.
\n\n\nExperience selling satellite, spacecraft, mission, launch, data, connectivity, or other space infrastructure services.
\n\n\nExperience developing strategic partnerships or channel relationships that generate measurable commercial opportunities.
\n\n\nTechnical background in aerospace, space systems, engineering, or a related field.

We are looking for a Director of Business Development, Americas to drive our next phase of commercial growth. This is a senior, highly autonomous business development and market creation role focused on identifying commercial space companies, emerging constellation operators, and strategic partners—and turning early relationships into funded missions and long-term programs.
\n
You will create opportunities from the ground up. You’ll understand where companies are headed, identify where Loft can help, bring technical and commercial stakeholders together, and shape opportunities from early concepts into pathfinders, first missions, repeat spacecraft, or constellation-scale programs.
\n
You will work closely with senior leadership and teams across sales engineering, product, engineering, mission operations, and our international organization. You'll be equally comfortable engaging founders and CEOs, CTOs and VPs of Engineering, and technical program leaders.
\n
The best opportunities don't begin as traditional sales opportunities—they begin with a customer trying to solve a difficult problem.

Who We Are
Loft: Space Made Simple.
Founded in 2017, Loft provides governments, companies, and research institutions with a fast, reliable, and simple way to deploy missions in orbit.
We integrate, launch, and operate spacecraft, offering end-to-end missions as a service across Earth observation, IoT connectivity, on-orbit AI, national security missions, and more. Leveraging our existing space infrastructure and an extensive inventory of satellite buses, Loft is reducing years-long integration and launch timelines to months. With more than 30 missions flown, Loft’s flight heritage and proven technologies enable customers to focus on their mission objectives.

Who We Are
Loft: Space Made Simple.
Founded in 2017, Loft provides governments, companies, and research institutions with a fast, reliable, and simple way to deploy missions in orbit.
We integrate, launch, and operate spacecraft, offering end-to-end missions as a service across Earth observation, IoT connectivity, on-orbit AI, national security missions, and more. Leveraging our existing space infrastructure and an extensive inventory of satellite buses, Loft is reducing years-long integration and launch timelines to months. With more than 30 missions flown, Loft’s flight heritage and proven technologies enable customers to focus on their mission objectives.
With a growing fleet on track to reach 30 satellites by 2027, we are scaling up quickly across our offices in San Francisco, CA | Golden, CO | and Toulouse, France to meet accelerating demand for space infrastructure.
As an international company your resume will be reviewed by people across our offices so please attach a copy in English.

We own the full path from a partner's trained model to something that actually runs — fast — on flight hardware: compiling ONNX models into optimized engines for each accelerator, the Space Inference Engine and its execution providers, the SDK that packages models for flight, and the perf tooling that proves a model fits its power, thermal, and latency budget before it ever leaves the ground. As we open the platform to a growing roster of defense and Earth-observation partners, the team's scope and the range of silicon we target are expanding fast.\n\nAs our ML Runtime Engineer, you'll own model compilation and the performance tooling behind it. We're looking for someone scrappy — the kind of engineer who takes an unfamiliar model and an unforgiving power budget, digs into the graph, and gets it running on real hardware without waiting for the path to be handed to them. You'll move between model compilation, runtime internals, quantization, and hardware-in-the-loop CI, sometimes in the same afternoon.\n","description":"Wanna join the adventure?
\n\n
At Loft, we are convinced that space programs should not have to be rebuilt from scratch every time. Our philosophy has been to productize them: we develop our own proprietary technology blocks, hardware and software, so that a customer payload can be integrated faster and more reliably than any bespoke program allows. That approach has delivered — it is why our customers reach orbit in months rather than years, and it is what makes working here different from working in the rest of the industry.
\n
We are now taking the next step: launching and operating our own constellations, and building a new set of services on top of them. That includes a full product suite enabling third-party AI applications to run directly onboard our satellites, and a growing ecosystem of partners whose needs we have to understand and design for. Loft is expanding at a very high pace, and the range of what we build is expanding just as fast.
\n
This is why Product Management matters so much here. Someone has to hold the whole picture — what is technically possible, what customers actually need, what we should build first — and turn it into something engineering and leadership can act on. As a Product Manager, you will own a significant perimeter and the autonomy that goes with it. We are growing the team precisely so that each of us can go deeper on our topics, anticipate rather than react, and have more impact across the company.
\n
You will need to be comfortable talking to anyone here. In the same week you might sit with a system engineer to understand a design constraint, join a BD call with an institutional customer, and present a recommendation to the executive team. Ideas at Loft get discussed openly and on their merits, wherever they come from, so being able to ask a naive question without ego — and to disagree with someone senior without making it personal — matters more than seniority.
\n
Understand what is possible, and turn it into requirements
\n\n- Spend the bulk of your time with engineering: understanding architectures, constraints, and dependencies well enough to judge what is realistically doable in a given timeframe.
\n- Translate strategic direction into clear requirements and use cases that engineering can act on directly, and follow them down to the Jira tickets.
\n- Surface and shape the good ideas that come from engineering — many of the best ones do — and connect them to a product rationale.
\n- Define success criteria for each capability, and verify they are actually met through implementation and delivery.
\n- Maintain an accurate, shared view of Loft's product capabilities, what is in development, and where the gaps are.
\n\n\n
Bring the outside in
\n
\n- Run customer discovery interviews alongside business development, and debrief missions to see how Loft's capabilities are actually used in operations.
\n- Engage directly with the partners building on our platform, including the onboard AI application ecosystem, to understand their needs and constraints.
\n- Track market trends and competitive moves closely enough to know where our offering stands.
\n\nDecide and prioritize
\n\n- Own the roadmap for your perimeter, reconciling customer needs, engineering reality, and Loft's strategy into a single coherent plan.
\n- Build the analysis behind every recommendation — sizing, segmentation, business cases, operational data — so decisions are grounded in evidence rather than intuition alone.
\n- Negotiate scope and delivery commitments with engineering leadership, and re-plan when capacity or mission timelines shift.
\n- Challenge, constructively and with data, business development, engineering leadership, and your own assumptions.
\n\nCommunicate
\n\n- Own internal communication on your perimeter: keep engineering, program leadership, and executives working from the same technical reality.
\n- Develop the technical narratives and proof points that marketing and BD then turn into their own customer-facing material.
\n- Prepare recommendations and presentations for top-executive-level audiences.

\n- Real product obsession: you think about the bigger picture and product-market fit before you think about features.
\n- Relentless curiosity. In a single month you might move from a satellite bus constraint, to onboard AI inference, to a defense accreditation requirement — and you need to find that stimulating rather than exhausting.
\n- High autonomy and a bias for action: handed a broad perimeter, you organize it yourself and come back with a plan.
\n- At ease being challenged, and challenging others, in a fast-moving and demanding environment.
\n- Working knowledge of both hardware and software development lifecycles.
\n- Proficient using and configuring Atlassian tools (Jira and Confluence).
\n- Fluency in English, written and spoken.
\n- Willingness to travel to other Loft offices and to customers.

At Loft, we are convinced that space programs should not have to be rebuilt from scratch every time. Our philosophy has been to productize them: we develop our own proprietary technology blocks, hardware and software, so that a customer payload can be integrated faster and more reliably than any bespoke program allows. That approach has delivered — it is why our customers reach orbit in months rather than years, and it is what makes working here different from working in the rest of the industry.
\n
We are now taking the next step: launching and operating our own constellations, and building a new set of services on top of them. That includes a full product suite enabling third-party AI applications to run directly onboard our satellites, and a growing ecosystem of partners whose needs we have to understand and design for. Loft is expanding at a very high pace, and the range of what we build is expanding just as fast.
\n
This is why Product Management matters so much here. Someone has to hold the whole picture — what is technically possible, what customers actually need, what we should build first — and turn it into something engineering and leadership can act on. As a Product Manager, you will own a significant perimeter and the autonomy that goes with it. We are growing the team precisely so that each of us can go deeper on our topics, anticipate rather than react, and have more impact across the company.
\n
You will need to be comfortable talking to anyone here. In the same week you might sit with a system engineer to understand a design constraint, join a BD call with an institutional customer, and present a recommendation to the executive team. Ideas at Loft get discussed openly and on their merits, wherever they come from, so being able to ask a naive question without ego — and to disagree with someone senior without making it personal — matters more than seniority.
\n
*Research shows that while men apply to jobs where they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other underrepresented people tend to only apply when they meet 100% of the qualifications. At Loft, we value respectful debate and people who aren’t afraid to challenge assumptions. We strongly encourage you to apply, even if you don’t check all the boxes.
