What does this role look like? Mission Strategy and Advanced Capabilities Director (MSAC) Director for Human Exploration and Nuclear & Power Infrastructure will lead Strategy Development, Technology Development and New Business Capture. Working within Lockheed Martin Space, this position will report to the Exploration, Product, and Technology (EPT) MSAC Vice President. In this role you will have the following daily key responsibilities: From a primary mission enablement perspective, Nuclear & Power Infrastructure is a key element of Human Exploration.

This leader will stand in for the VP in critical approval activities when needed.
