Director, Business Development - Americas

Wanna join the adventure?

We are looking for a Director of Business Development, Americas to drive our next phase of commercial growth. This is a senior, highly autonomous business development and market creation role focused on identifying commercial space companies, emerging constellation operators, and strategic partners—and turning early relationships into funded missions and long-term programs.

You will create opportunities from the ground up. You’ll understand where companies are headed, identify where Loft can help, bring technical and commercial stakeholders together, and shape opportunities from early concepts into pathfinders, first missions, repeat spacecraft, or constellation-scale programs.

You will work closely with senior leadership and teams across sales engineering, product, engineering, mission operations, and our international organization. You'll be equally comfortable engaging founders and CEOs, CTOs and VPs of Engineering, and technical program leaders.

The best opportunities don't begin as traditional sales opportunities—they begin with a customer trying to solve a difficult problem.

 _*_Research shows that while men apply to jobs where they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other underrepresented people tend to only apply when they meet 100% of the qualifications. At Loft, we value respectful debate and people who aren’t afraid to challenge assumptions.  We strongly encourage you to apply, even if you don’t check all the boxes.

Who We Are

Loft: Space Made Simple. 

Founded in 2017, Loft provides governments, companies, and research institutions with a fast, reliable, and simple way to deploy missions in orbit.

We integrate, launch, and operate spacecraft, offering end-to-end missions as a service across Earth observation, IoT connectivity, on-orbit AI, national security missions, and more. Leveraging our existing space infrastructure and an extensive inventory of satellite buses, Loft is reducing years-long integration and launch timelines to months. With more than 30 missions flown, Loft’s flight heritage and proven technologies enable customers to focus on their mission objectives.

With a growing fleet on track to reach 30 satellites by 2027, we are scaling up quickly across our offices in San Francisco, CA | Golden, CO | and Toulouse, France to meet accelerating demand for space infrastructure.
