[Hiring] Global Account Executive @Axiom Space

Role Description

Axiom Space is seeking a bold and agile Global Account Executive who is fueled by high ownership, execution horsepower, growth mindset, and driven to understand our world, science/technology, and life itself, for the benefit of all on Earth and beyond.

The Global Account Executive (GAE) owns Axiom Space's relationship, pipeline, and growth strategy for an assigned set of international markets, agencies, or institutions. This is a senior individual contributor role: the GAE is the single accountable owner of their accounts, from first customer contact through a signed agreement, and reports directly to the Vice President of Revenue.

International growth opportunities are often negotiated commercial transactions, sole-source agreements, or sovereign partnerships rather than competitive, FAR-based procurements. The GAE qualifies and advances these opportunities from first contact through a signed agreement, applying sound commercial and strategic judgment at every step.

Above all, the GAE builds and maintains a rigorous account plan for each priority market or institution: a fact-based investment thesis, not a relationship summary. That plan maps the full customer sphere of influence, the competitive and political landscape, and a clear path to a signed agreement—and it is the standard by which Axiom's leadership compares one market's opportunity against another.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in business, international relations, engineering, or a related field.
• 7+ years of experience in business development, account management, capture, or government relations, with meaningful experience in international markets within aerospace, defense, or a similarly complex, government-driven industry.
• Demonstrated ability to independently own an account or territory, including building the relationships and the internal case needed to close a deal without a large dedicated support team.
• Proven record of advancing and closing negotiated agreements with government, sovereign, or institutional customers.
• Strong executive presence and the ability to build trusted relationships across cultures and senior levels.
• Working knowledge of export control and international business compliance requirements.
• Ability to travel internationally up to 30–50%.
• Ability to meet ITAR requirements applicable to the assigned portfolio and region; U.S. person status may be required for certain accounts.
• MBA or advanced degree in a relevant field (preferred).
• Established network within international space agencies, ministries, or the aerospace industry (preferred).
• Experience with human spaceflight, space station, or space infrastructure programs (preferred).
• Experience structuring public-private partnerships, financing arrangements, or industrial participation agreements (preferred).
• Proficiency in one or more languages relevant to the assigned region (preferred).
• Comfort operating with a lean, still-forming support structure in a fast-growing organization (preferred).

Requirements

• Must be able to complete a U.S. government background investigation.
• Proof of U.S. Citizenship or US Permanent Residency is a requirement for this position.
• Must be willing to work evenings and weekends as needed to meet critical milestones.

Benefits

• Axiom Space is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
• Axiom Space does not discriminate on the basis of race, regional color, national origin, gender (including pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions), sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, status as a protected veteran, status as an individual with disability, or other applicable legally protected characteristics.
