Responsibilities

Reflect Orbital is hiring a Director of Mission Management to build and lead the function responsible for moving our spacecraft from mission planning to orbit.
This is a hands-on leadership role. You will build the team and operating system required to support repeated launches, but you will also personally step into the details, resolve critical blockers, and ensure every mission is ready when the launch vehicle is.
Own mission management across Reflect’s spacecraft portfolio, including launch planning, launch-provider integration, regulatory execution, external deliverables, launch campaigns, and mission readiness
Build the integrated launch and regulatory roadmap required to support Reflect’s spacecraft-production and constellation-deployment plans
Develop launch strategies that balance schedule, orbit, cost, capacity, technical compatibility, regulatory readiness, and program risk
Own senior relationships with launch providers, launch integrators, regulatory agencies, outside counsel, spectrum coordinators, and other critical mission partners
Lead launch-opportunity evaluation and support launch-service contracting, negotiations, and manifest decisions in partnership with engineering, finance, and legal
Own Reflect’s FCC and spectrum strategy, including licensing pathways, modifications, technical exhibits, coordination, milestone compliance, reporting, and engagement with outside counsel and regulators
Ensure each mission has a credible integrated schedule, clear ownership, complete external deliverables, active risk management, and an objective definition of launch readiness
Establish the operating system for mission management: integrated schedules, deliverable trackers, document control, readiness reviews, risk reviews, decision logs, escalation paths, and post-mission lessons learned
Translate company and constellation objectives into executable mission plans across engineering, manufacturing, test, flight software, GNC, operations, policy, and business teams
Identify portfolio-level launch, licensing, spectrum, and integration risks early and drive the decisions or investments required to resolve them
