SDL’s Program managers represent SDL to our customers and ensure program success. They drive program execution by maintaining tight schedules, risk identification and mitigation, prioritization of key program deliverables as well as effectively manage program resources, schedule, and budget. A Senior Program Manager at SDL is a champion of people and technology, a trusted and informed customer partner, and a demonstrated leader.   

Required Qualifications
  • 10+ years in program/project management in the space satellite/payload industry
  • Proven technical and business background in end-to-end space missions (spacecraft bus, payload, and ground operations)
  • Established credibility in the space industry and existing relationships with leaders in the DoD and intelligence communities
  • Demonstrated success completing a multi-year program/project lifecycle (proposing, executing, delivering, and closing) in the space domain.
  • Proven experience leading teams of 25+ people.
  • Active Top Secret Clearance (or equivalent) or higher

  • Flexible work schedules that fit your style—every Friday off, every other Friday off, hybrid remote work, or simply traditional hours
  • Generous paid leisure and sick leave, ensuring you never miss a special event

  • A great, highly educated team that works together to solve some of the most fascinating problems on (and off) our planet
