Senior Space Program Manager

Creotech Instruments is looking for a Senior Space Program Manager to lead complex satellite projects and strengthen its Project Office.

About the role

We are looking for someone who combines experience from a large, process-driven space company with hands-on delivery experience in a fast-moving New Space organization. You must have successfully led at least one satellite project through development, integration, testing, launch and deployment into orbit.

Responsibilities

• Lead strategic satellite projects and programs across their full lifecycle
• Take responsibility for scope, schedule, budget, quality, risks and delivery
• Coordinate Project Managers and multidisciplinary teams across engineering, manufacturing, AIT, procurement, quality and operations
• Build realistic project plans and implement recovery actions when needed
• Resolve cross-functional conflicts related to priorities, resources and technical decisions
• Manage relationships with customers, partners, suppliers and space agencies
• Prepare clear decision options and recommendations for senior management
• Mentor Project Managers and develop an effective Project House
• Improve project processes without slowing down delivery

Requirements

• At least 10 years of professional experience in complex space/satellite/technology projects
• Documented responsibility for at least one satellite successfully launched and deployed into orbit
• Strong knowledge of the satellite industry and the complete satellite lifecycle
• Experience in both a structured corporate environment and a fast-moving New Space organization
• Experience managing Project Managers and multidisciplinary technical teams
• Ability to combine established processes with pragmatic and delivery-focused execution
• Strong leadership, negotiation and stakeholder-management skills
• Professional English

Working model
