About The Position

Spacecraft represent the most pressing unmet need across the entire aerospace industry. As more launch vehicles come online and the cost to orbit decreases, more companies launching payloads to space continue to emerge. For the first time in history, this influx of payload companies combined with reduced launch costs has resulted in a massive increase in need for commercial spacecraft platforms, known as satellite buses. These buses hold the payloads of our customers and are flown on launch vehicles. Apex manufactures these satellite buses at scale using a combination of software, vertical integration, and hardware that is designed for manufacturing. Our spacecraft enable the future of society: ranging from earth observation to communications and more. We’d love for you to join us on our mission of providing humankind access to the galaxy beyond our planet. About the Role As a Graphic Designer – Business Development, you play a critical role in Apex’s business growth. Supporting the Business Development team, you will drive Apex’s growth by creating high-quality graphics to enhance proposals and presentations that win contracts. You will work across all of Apex’s markets: US Government, Commercial, and International Government. You will fulfill design requests from the Business Development team and develop new graphics that showcase Apex’s offering and align with brand standards. Your extreme attention to detail, proactive organizational skills, and collaboration skills influence all components of your work. You thrive in environments where you can take ownership of projects and lead teams to success. Detail-oriented, an effective communicator, and an adept team leader, you are capable of holding yourself accountable to deadlines, customer requirements, and company standards.
