Working in the Operations Team
The Operations team drives the delivery of our space mission services, connecting the technologies developed in-house by the Tech team, the requirements from our customers, and the tools and support of external key partners and suppliers.
What will you be doing?
You will be leading the delivery of Open Cosmos space mission projects, on time and within the project budget, managing the whole project lifecycle. From capturing customer drivers and requirements to planning the successful project execution by defining timelines, allocating resources, identifying risks, and using Open Cosmos’ technologies and services to satisfy customer expectations.
You will interface with customers and mission stakeholders, Open Cosmos’ technical and commercial teams, partners, and suppliers. You will contribute to the design of the mission alongside the systems engineering and mission operations teams.
You will oversee the selection and execution of building blocks, from launch service providers to ground segment infrastructure providers and all the regulatory landscape that frames the delivery of our services.
What you need to be successful
* Strong, practical knowledge of project management and its application to space mission projects.
* A technical background based on complex products that can directly relate to space/satellites.
* Comfortable working in a small company with big ambitions and constrained resources.
* Able to identify and take quantified risks and make decisions in a fast-changing environment to satisfy customer needs.
* A team player and an enabler, comfortably managing other people and external stakeholders.
* Ability to foresee events and issues and find efficient solutions that align with the company values and vision.
What we offer:
* Flexible work-from-home options.
* 25 days holiday in addition to national holidays.
* Opportunities for learning and career development at the forefront of technology.
This is a hybrid role - sometimes you will need to be in the office every day for 1 or 2 weeks at a time; at other times, you may work remotely if you choose - the requirements fluctuate, and you should be prepared and ready to support your colleagues in the office as the business needs.
