  • Represent Skyroot at international conferences, trade shows, launch campaigns and customer site visits;
  • host VIP delegations atthe Hyderabad headquarters.

  • Build, mentor and scale a high-performing business-development team as flight rates increase.

  • Prior experience working at a launch provider, satellite OEM, or space consultancy.
  • Established network within commercial and governmental small-satellite markets.
