    About this role

    SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.

    COMMERCIAL SALES MANAGER (STARLINK MOBILE)

    SpaceX is developing a new satellite-to-mobile network to bring ubiquitous cellular connectivity worldwide via the Starlink constellation. We are partnering with telecommunication companies around the world to bring this service directly from satellites to mobile phones, with the goal of providing coverage anywhere a phone can see the sky.

    Starlink was designed to connect the disconnected and this new product will greatly expand that mission by extending coverage to billions of existing cellular devices. The applications range from connecting hikers in national parks, emergency responders, rural communities, remote sensors and devices, and people in emergency situations.

    You can learn more about the next chapter of the Starlink Mobile program here.

    Combined with new state-of-the-art satellite technologies, exclusive spectrum, and Starship’s unprecedented payload capacity to low-Earth orbit in a single launch, Starlink Mobile’s next generation service will deliver unparalleled performance to cell phones and IoT devices – helping to close coverage gaps and ultimately eliminate mobile dead zones around the world.

    In this role, you will take ownership of assigned client relationships and commercial opportunities to expand Starlink Mobile globally. While you will receive direct mentorship from your leaders, your work will be largely self-directed.

    SpaceX evolves rapidly, and you will be a critical asset to the sales team as we work to collectively advance our presence in the telecommunications market globally.
