Stoke Space • Kent, WA

About The Position

Reusable launch systems depend on fast, reliable execution across engineering, manufacturing, and operations. As Stoke scales toward rapid reuse, the systems that run the business must move with the same speed and precision as the rocket vehicle itself.

As the IT Project Manager, you will lead the delivery of critical enterprise systems that support how Stoke builds, tests, and launches reusable rockets. While a key initial focus will be supporting Stoke’s next-generation ERP platform and its integration with Boltline—our hardware-centric MES and system of record—this role will evolve over time. You will own and drive a portfolio of IT and enterprise software initiatives as Stoke continues to scale.
This role connects software systems, teams, and data flows across engineering and business operations, enabling teams to move faster with confidence. You will bring structure and momentum to complex, cross-functional efforts without introducing unnecessary process or friction.You will partner closely with software engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, finance, and external vendors to deliver solutions that are technically sound, operationally reliable, and aligned with how Stoke works today—and where we’re going next.
The ideal candidate is comfortable operating in deeply technical environments and understands modern system integration through APIs and data pipelines. You take ownership of outcomes, communicate crisply, and proactively manage risk across multiple concurrent initiatives.
In this role, you will:
Lead the delivery of Stoke’s ERP program, from planning through go-live and stabilization
Integrate Boltline as the system of record within the ERP ecosystem
Own and execute additional IT and enterprise software projects beyond ERP, including new system implementations, major upgrades, and cross-functional tooling initiatives
Lead ongoing system changes and future enterprise software projects as Stoke evolves
This is a collaborative, execution-focused role for someone who thrives in fast-moving, engineering-driven environments and wants to directly impact how Stoke builds and launches reusable rockets. You must be ready to stay focused, move fast, self-direct, and learn on the fly.
