Our client, a commercial orbital launch company, is looking to add a new Senior Counsel/Director, Commercial Counsel (dependent on experience level) to focus on driving commercial transactions and large-scale, infrastructure projects from start to finish. The successful candidate will be a strategic partner to the Company’s Infrastructure & Facilities Team and other executive and ownership teams on high-visibility, high-impact projects, including supply chain transactions, acquiring and leasing land, building and renovating factories and building launch and test sites. This person will also support procurement of equipment, goods, and services related to enabling use of facilities at various sites, including construction materials, manufacturing and building equipment, and utilities services.
 
This is an on-site role based. A remote option is not available.
 
Our client has two audacious goals: to build the next great commercial launch company and to become America's leading force in additive manufacturing innovation. Both contribute to the Company’s long-term vision of creating humanity’s industrial base on Mars, paving the way for interplanetary life to expand the possibilities of the human experience. This journey begins right here on Earth – where the Company designs, builds, and flies rockets to deliver customer payloads to orbit. The Company’s medium-to-heavy lift reusable rocket fulfills the growing demand for launch capacity, thanks to the Company’s iterative approach that accelerates design, testing, and development while minimizing costs. Our client’s groundbreaking research and development in 3D printing pushes the boundaries of large-scale additive manufacturing.
 
This role is more than just a job – it’s an opportunity to shape the future of aerospace technology, additive manufacturing, and the human experience alongside a community of passionate, creative individuals.
