    Job Description

    Role Summary

    This is an exhilarating opportunity to join a rapidly growing space company and contribute to pioneering, cutting-edge propulsion technology unmatched anywhere in the world. As a vital member of our team, you will play a crucial role in launching the world's first air-breathing ion propulsion system into orbit. You will be the right hand to the CEO and ensure the flawless operation of the company's day-to-day challenges as well as contribute to its growth.

    This is more than a job – it's a chance to write your name in one of the most important spacecraft missions in space technology, which will unlock currently inaccessible ultra-low orbits for satellites and become the world's first in-situ resource utilization in the history of spaceflight.

    About NewOrbit

    NewOrbit is developing the first hybrid of an aircraft and a satellite using Air-breathing Electric Propulsion (ABEP). While aircraft operate at altitudes of up to 20km and conventional satellites above 450km, there exists no technology which can consistently operate at altitudes between 20 km and 450 km. NewOrbit addresses this by developing the first satellite capable of bridging this gap.

    At NewOrbit, we have developed a revolutionary air-breathing ion propulsion system that allows satellites to operate in ultra-low Earth orbits of 180km, three times lower than the current lowest operational altitude of the satellites. This unique technology enables us to access and explore a layer of the atmosphere previously deemed inoperable.

    Operating much closer to the Earth's surface offers significant improvements in observation and connectivity. This proximity allows for much better resolution in satellite imaging, enabling new applications in high-precision environmental monitoring and wildfire prevention. It also opens possibilities for global direct-to-phone satellite internet coverage, among other game-changing applications, at self-cleaning altitudes free of space debris.

    Your Role

    As a Founder Associate, you will be a part of the core team responsible for shaping and driving the NewOrbit's vision, mission, operations and growth strategy. We're looking for multi-talented associate who can work closely with us, helping to resolve challanges that the company is facing on a day-to-day basis with hiring, PR, operations, investment, customer relationship and other countless tasks.

    Please note that this position extends beyond the typical 9-5 work schedule, requiring a great deal of passion for space technology and dedication.

    What your role includes:

    1. Strategic Project Leadership: Spearhead special projects and new initiatives, driving forward the company's scale-up efforts. Your role will be crucial in navigating our growth trajectory and ensuring we stay ahead of market trends.
    2. Ensure Flawless Company Operation: Work closely with the founders to enhance daily operations, focusing on optimizing administrative processes and resolving the bottlenecks in the company's growth. Manage critical financial operations, including returns and budget analysis.
    3. Strategic Communications and Engagement: Play a key role in designing compelling pitches and presentations for our sales team, managing investor updates, and overseeing public relations, including our website and LinkedIn page. Your work will shape the company's external image and stakeholder relations.
    4. Corporate Governance and Strategic Partnerships: Assist in preparing for customer and investor meetings, contribute to executive discussions on vision and strategy, and manage relationships with suppliers and partners. Your involvement will be vital in forging partnerships that align with our strategic goals and in supporting governance practices that drive success.

    Who we're looking for:

    1. Ideally, experience in management consulting firms - bringing a solid foundation in business strategy, operational efficiency, and problem-solving skills.
    2. Solid basic business knowledge and a demonstrated ability to lead and contribute to strategic projects and initiatives, with a track record of driving significant outcomes.
    3. At least 1-2 years of experience in optimizing operations, including streamlining administrative processes, improving data management and reporting systems, and enhancing overall workflow efficiency.
    4. Experience working in the technology or space industry, showcasing an understanding of the unique challenges and innovations within these sectors. This includes familiarity with the latest technological advancements and trends.
    5. Experience in handling complex projects from inception to completion is essential.
    6. Ability to communicate effectively across all levels of an organization, from crafting detailed reports and presentations for senior management to engaging with external stakeholders and partners.
    7. A person who is capable of a high level of ownership and accountability.
    8. Strong analytical skills with the capability to develop decision-making frameworks and prioritize resources efficiently . This includes the ability to analyze market trends, assess business opportunities, and make strategic decisions based on a comprehensive understanding of the company's objectives.
