Your mission

Working alongside our Orbital Systems architects and technical domain leads, you will keep a programme on track — from early phase through delivery.

Your responsibilities:

  • Own the programme baseline: schedule, cost, scope, work-package structure and critical path across all phases
  • Run the programme control cycle — planning, milestone and gate management, earned-value tracking, risk and opportunity management, change control, and progress reporting to internal and external stakeholders
  • Act as deltaVision's primary interface to consortium partners, coordinating cross-organisation dependencies, interfaces and deliverables
  • Manage the customer and authority relationship for your programme, including reviews, milestone acceptance and contractual deliverables
  • Lead internal programme execution across the contributing domains (systems engineering, hardware, and test), keeping teams aligned to plan
  • Own subcontractor and supplier management within the programme scope: statements of work, NDAs, negotiation, monitoring and delivery
  • Drive preparation and defence of programme reviews (SRR/PDR/CDR-class) and lead the associated documentation and data-package readiness
  • Flag strategic dependencies and resource conflicts early, across programme and company priorities
  • Ensure compliance with ECSS project-management, configuration and quality requirements
  • Support related bid and proposal activity, contributing programmatics, planning and cost inputs

Your profile

  • 5+ years as a programme or project manager for spacecraft or spacecraft subsystems, with demonstrated end-to-end delivery ownership
  • Proven track record managing cost, schedule and scope on complex, multi-stakeholder space programmes
  • Hands-on experience with ECSS project-management, review (SRR/PDR/CDR) and milestone frameworks
  • Experience coordinating across consortia, partners and/or subcontractors, ideally in an institutional (ESA / national agency) funding context
  • Strong command of planning, risk management and reporting tools and methods
  • Sound technical judgement across space systems, enabling credible dialogue with domain leads and partners
  • Excellent stakeholder-management, negotiation and communication skills
  • Accountable, structured and calm under pressure, with an agile, hands-on mindset
  • Passion for creating a new spaceflight paradigm (space logistics & orbital refuelling)
  • Additional advantages:
  • Familiarity with propulsion or fluidic systems
  • Experience in a defence / dual-use environment and eligibility to obtain a national security clearance (VS-NfD)
  • German language proficiency

We offer

  • Immediate and flexible start
  • Permanent full-time position (40 h/week)
  • Attractive salary
  • 30 days annual vacation and flexible working hours
  • Bike leasing, Jobticket and EGYM Wellpass
  • Complimentary beverages, company events, and professional development opportunities
