Commercial Sales Director

At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. We’re working to develop reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. Join our team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight! This role is part of Blue Origin corporate functions, providing centralized support across Blue Origin business unit teams, functions, and locations.

Location: Kent, WA preferred. Only Blue Origin locations will be considered.

As part of the Commercial & International Sales team, the Commercial Sales Director is responsible for closing deals and driving revenue across Blue Origin’s full portfolio. You’ll own a strategic commercial pipeline that spans our business units and programs. You’ll be measured against sales goals and related metrics, which means a significant portion of your work will involve proposal and contract development alongside cross-functional partners — technical, programmatic, legal and compliance, finance, and strategy.

• 7+ years of experience in complex B2B or B2G sales
• Demonstrated ability to sell into, or on behalf of, the high‑tech sector (e.g., hyperscalers, cloud providers, AI companies, data infrastructure) or the space/aerospace sector — with the aptitude to quickly learn the other
• Aptitude to learn and communicate complex technical concepts fluently
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including highly technical and financial presentations
• Exceptional organizational and time management skills to run multiple pursuits in parallel
• Track record of high judgment, accountability, ethics, energy, creativity, and standards
