Proposal and Government Programs Manager

Enduro Satbuilds small satellites and satellite subsystems for commercial, scientific, and government missions. U.S. government programs are a growing share of the market we serve — but we reach them through primes, integrators, and U.S. partners rather than as a direct bidder.

We are hiring a Manager of U.S. Government Programs & Proposal Support to own that path: know what the U.S. government is buying, getEnduro

Satonto the right teams before solicitations drop, and produce the technical content our partners need to win with our hardware in their bid.

Enduro

Satthe easiest, best-documented subsystem partner a U.S. prime can put in a proposal. You are the internal owner of U.S. government market intelligence and the author of the content that goes into someone else's submission.

Is not:a prime proposal manager.

Enduro Satdoes notsubmitU.S. government prime proposals and does not plan to. You will not own submission portals, cost volumes at the prime level, or bid/no-bid authority on prime pursuits. If your ambition is to run gold teams on a $200M SSC prime bid, this is the wrong seat, and we would rather you know that now.

What replaces that scope is real: you get earlier visibility, more partners, more concurrent pursuits, and the export-control and teaming complexity that comes with a Bulgarian-headquartered company supplying U.S. defense and civil space programs.

• Prime and integrator subcontracts— the primary motion. Teaming and subsystem supply positions with primes and integrators pursuing U.S. Space Force (SSC, SDA, Space RCO), AFRL, DIU, and related work.

• Civil space— NASA (rideshare, CSLI, science mission announcements), NOAA, and university and FFRDC programs that buy our hardware with federal funding. Often direct commercial sales rather than contracts, and a significant near‑term channel.

  Sat hardware or engineering in their scope, including where foreign subcontracting requires agency approval. You will know when that approval is realistic and when it is not.

• Consortium and OTA vehicles—SpECand similar, where the path runs through a U.S. member as prime.

• Market‑shaping— RFI and sources‑sought responses, where permissible and useful, and technical input into partner responses.

U.S. Government Market Intelligence

• Maintain the authoritative internal picture of U.S. government demand relevant toEnduro
  
  Sat: programs of record, agency roadmaps, budget and appropriations movement, solicitation activity, and award announcements.

• Monitor SAM.gov, agency forecast sites, consortium portals, prime supplier portals, and commercial databases (Gov Win IQ,Higher Gov, Govini, or similar) — filtered to what we can actually serve.

• Track who is winning what. When a prime wins a constellation or demonstration award, know within days whether there is a subsystem opportunity in it and who to call.

• Translate all of this into a standing briefing for BD, Product, and Engineering leadership. The test is whether our roadmap decisions are better informed because of you, not whether your tracker is comprehensive.

• Identify which primes and integrators are pursuing what, and getEnduro
  
  Sat positioned on those teams before RFP release, while team composition is still open.

• Maintain a single source of truth for the U.S. pipeline: opportunity, end customer, prime or partner, vehicle, our scope and value, key dates, pursue decision, owner, and status.

• Run a documented pursue/decline gate for partner requests. Primes generate a constant volume of data calls, RFI inputs, and “can you quote this by Friday” requests, most of which go…
