Business Development Manager, Satellite Sales

Business Development Manager

As a motivated Business Development Manager, you will proactively identify and pursue new business opportunities within the US satellite and space hardware sector. You will own your territory end-to-end: identify targets, open doors, build relationships, and close deals. You will work closely with business development, engineering, and product/mission teams to scope solutions, build winning proposals, and accelerate sales cycles. Your focus will be on building strong, long-term client relationships, driving revenue growth, and expanding our market presence across commercial satellite operators, aerospace, and adjacent tech sectors.

This is an individual-contributor role for true hunters. It is based in Denver, Colorado, where we are building a high-performing and fast-paced team. The position will be primarily on-site and in person at the office, with occasional travel to industry conferences and visiting customers.

Some of your daily tasks will include:

• Own your territory from prospecting to close; build a robust pipeline and shorten sales cycles
• Drive new customer acquisition across commercial satellite, aerospace, and adjacent tech verticals
• Establish, develop, and maintain beneficial business and customer relationships
• Manage a fast-moving pipeline from first contact through signed contract; report weekly on activity, pipeline, and forecast—you own your numbers
• Partner with technical and mission teams to align solutions and products to customer needs and build compelling proposals
• Coordinate commercial efforts across teams and other Enduro Sat departments; feed market intelligence to product and leadership
• Keep informed about space industry trends, space capabilities, and best practices
• Participate in key industry conferences (Small Sat, SATELLITE, Space Symposium, AIAA, etc.) to showcase Enduro Sat's newest products
• Achieve agreed-upon sales targets and outcomes within defined timelines
• Maintain high integrity at all times and be an exemplary company representative

What do we look for?

• 5–10 years of experience in business development, sales, or account management in satellite, space, or aerospace
• Experience in direct sales of satellites, satellite components, or mission services with complex, multi-month sales cycles
• Proven track record of prospecting, pursuing, and closing new business—not just managing existing accounts
• Wide network of space industry contacts and professional connections; deep regional network in the new space commercial ecosystem is a plus
• Comfortable building your own pipeline from zero; strong ownership mindset and urgency
• Excellent written, verbal, and presentation communication skills; able to interface with engineers and executives alike
• Previous experience with CRM systems and Microsoft 365
• Willingness to travel 30–40% for conferences, customer meetings, and events
• Based in Denver (or willing to relocate).
• US citizen or US permanent resident.

How to stand out:

• Deep knowledge of purchase processes, RFP procedures, proposal development, and contract negotiation
• Wide network of space industry contacts and professional connections in the aerospace sector
• Energetic, proactive, and competitive mindset; a strong team player who thrives in a highly collaborative environment
• Demonstrated ability to compress sales cycles and open net-new strategic accounts

What do we offer?

• Health insurance coverage
• Matching 401k plan
• Generous team performance-based bonus
• Aggressive, uncapped commission structure
• Full autonomy over your territory—no micromanagement; direct line to leadership for fast decisions
• Travel budget, conference attendance, and the tools to win
• Collaboration with the Enduro Sat offices with occasional international travel

Salary range: $140,000 - $210,000 per year, plus an incentive-based commission structure. The salary will likely be within this range although it may differ based on experience level or other factors.

Why Enduro Sat?

• Fast-paced and delivery-focused culture
• Tough engineering challenges & hard-core R&D
• Constant learning and progression
• Chance to join our space educational program

We're not looking for order-takers. We're looking for hunters who will out-hustle, out-network, and out-close. If that's you, let's talk.
