The role
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 enabling human life on Mars.
SR. GOVERNMENT PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT MANAGER (GOVERNMENT COMPUTE/ INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY)
Starshield leverages SpaceX’s Starlink technology and launch capability to support national security efforts. While Starlink is designed for consumer and commercial use, Starshield is designed for government use, with an initial focus on earth observation, communications, and hosted payloads. SpaceX Government Sales is expanding the team to support the deployment of Starshield capabilities for the U.S. Government.
SpaceX is seeking a mission-oriented, results-driven Senior Manager to lead Government Program Development and business growth across the Intelligence Community, focusing on AI and classified compute that amplify overhead space systems. This role expands our IC footprint by identifying and advancing space/AI opportunities aligned with national security priorities, requires deep understanding of mission-aligned agentic frontier models plus the ability to communicate their scaled-compute applications to technical and non-technical audiences, and demands knowledge of government procurement processes along with the energy, initiative, and dependability to own mission-critical outcomes with new government partners.
RESPONSIBILITIES
• Develop and execute a strategy for government stakeholder engagement, support capture efforts, and help drive a development pipeline for AI and compute solutions addressing complex intelligence and operational challenges
• Identify, build, and maintain relationships with key Intelligence Community decision-makers, program managers, and technical evalua
