- Lead regulatory engagement with relevant trade organizations to advance company and industry objectives.
- Advise internal stakeholders on regulatory requirements, compliance obligations, and operational risk.
- Monitor changes in laws, regulations, and policy; proactively assess impacts to business operations and strategic initiatives.
- Develop internal regulatory processes, tracking mechanisms, and governance structures to support compliance and operational efficiency.
- Brief executive leadership on regulatory risks, timelines, and emerging policy issues as needed.
YOU’LL BRING THESE QUALIFICATIONS
- Bachelor’s degree +12 years of experience in regulatory affairs, regulatory operations, compliance, or government-facing roles within aerospace, space, aviation, telecommunications, or a similarly regulated industry.

WHAT TO EXPECT
We’re on a mission to unlock the potential of space to improve life on Earth, but that’s not an easy task. It takes hard work, determination, relentless innovation, teamwork, grit, and an unwavering commitment to achieving what others often deem impossible. Our people out-think, out-work and out-pace. We pride ourselves on having each other’s backs, checking our egos at the door, and rolling up our sleeves on all tasks big and small.
