SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.

BUSINESS OPERATIONS MANAGER, SUPPLY CHAIN RESILIENCE (STARLINK)

One of the most ambitious missions that SpaceX has undertaken to date, Starlink is leveraging our experience in building rockets and spacecraft to deploy the world's most advanced broadband internet system and largest satellite constellation to provide fast, reliable internet to millions of users worldwide, connect humanity, and fund Mars colonization.

Starlink Business Operations combines traditional planning and analysis with broader business decision-making and strategy, directly supporting SpaceX's leadership. Business Operations is embedded in daily operations, supporting both near-term execution and long-term planning. Team members are expected to analyze data and provide recommendations and to lead cross-functional decision-making and implementation of the recommendations. Starlink Business Operations is lean and dynamic, operating with a fluid structure that favors high agency. We expect high performers to expand their scope across the program's most critical bottlenecks.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Own Starlink Supply Chain Resiliency and architect the end-to-end strategy to secure global and domestic supply chain corridors and production continuity under extreme regional disruption and natural disaster scenarios

Rally the entire program around supply chain resilience as a primary KPI alongside growth, cash, and performance

Decouple from high-sensitivity regions by quantifying the rest-of-world frontier to secure technical and cost parity across emerging and domestic markets

Engineer the executive contingency playbook to safeguard operations during supply and geopolitical emergencies

Build first-principles models to identify critical-path choke points and quantify time-to-survive (TTS) and time-to-recover (TTR) metrics for every major assembly

Partner with hardware and manufacturing engineering to support aggressive design-out strategies that eliminate single-source dependencies and expand the global vendor landscape

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

Bachelor's degree in engineering, mathematics, computer science, data science, physics, or other quantitative field

4+ years of experience in Excel or programming

Ability to read and interpret income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements

Strong proficiency in SQL and Python; ability to handle large datasets independently

Excellent analytical modeling skills (e.g., Excel, Power BI, Tableau, Looker)

Strong written and verbal communication skills, particularly with senior business leaders

ADDITIONAL REQUIRMENTS:

Must be available to work extended hours and weekends as needed

Willingness to travel to customer sites, other SpaceX locations, and events as needed

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:

Pay range: Business Operations Manager/: $110,000.00 - $145,000.00/per year
