About The Position

At Slingshot Aerospace, we're on a mission to make space safer and more secure for everyone. Our work directly impacts global security, disaster response, climate monitoring, and the critical infrastructure that connects our world. We're a team of builders, thinkers, and problem-solvers who believe that the next generation of space operations will be powered by better data and smarter software. We move fast, we're not afraid to fail, and we believe the best ideas can come from anywhere—whether you're in engineering, sales, product, or operations. If you want to work on something that truly matters, with people who care deeply about the impact we're making and help shape the future of an industry that's just getting started, you're in the right place. As a Commercial & Channel Account Executive, you will support revenue growth across Slingshot’s commercial space market by selling directly to commercial customers and supporting partner-led sales with strategic primes and integrators. You will work within an established go-to-market strategy, engaging customers and partners to understand needs, advance opportunities, and close business. This role is well-suited for an Account Executive who is comfortable managing moderately complex sales cycles and collaborating closely with internal and partner stakeholders. We're building a team of sharp, creative people who love solving hard problems. We value curiosity over ego, initiative over waiting for permission, and people who genuinely care about doing great work. Bring your expertise, your fresh ideas, and your drive—we'll bring the rocket fuel.
