  • Ensure effective coordination between engineering, operations, commercial, and leadership functions

  • Remove blockers and help teams maintain momentum

  • Drive accountability and follow-through across strategic priorities

Customer & Stakeholder Delivery
  • Support delivery of major client engagements and strategic partnerships

  • Represent the company with customers, investors, and external stakeholders when appropriate

  • Help ensure operational and delivery commitments are consistently achieved

  • Strengthen processes that improve customer outcomes as the organisation grows

Organisational Development
  • Support workforce planning and organisational design

  • Help build management capability across the company

  • Support board, investor, and executive-level planning activities

 
What We're Looking For
 
  • 10+ years of experience in operations, strategy, consulting, programme leadership, or executive management

  • Proven experience scaling teams, organisations, or complex programmes

  • Strong strategic thinking and commercial judgement

  • Exceptional stakeholder management and communication skills

  • Experience driving organisational change and operational improvement

  • Ability to influence without relying solely on formal authority

  • Comfortable operating in ambiguity and building structure from scratch

  • Strong leadership presence combined with a willingness to be hands-on

 
Nice to Have
  • Experience in aerospace, manufacturing, engineering, or deep-tech environments

  • Experience working directly with founders, CEOs, or executive leadership teams

  • Experience supporting fundraising, investor engagement, or corporate growth initiatives

  • MBA or equivalent advanced business qualification

 
Why Beyond Reach Labs
  • Help shape the future of a pioneering space infrastructure company

  • Work directly alongside the founders on the company's most important challenges

  • Significant autonomy, responsibility, and influence

  • Opportunity to build and scale the operational foundations of a category-defining business

  • Join a mission-driven team working on technology that will transform what is possible in space
