About this role
SpaceX is seeking a Business Development Manager to lead Starlink's consumer market expansion across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. You would own the full growth strategy for the region, from identifying and building partnerships with internet service providers, utilities, retailers, and community organizations to executing field marketing campaigns and grassroots initiatives. This is a genuinely autonomous role—you'll be accountable for hitting ambitious subscriber targets and directly shaping how Starlink scales broadband access across the DACH market.
The ideal candidate brings 4+ years in business development, sales, growth, or partnerships, ideally within consumer technology, telecommunications, or subscription services. You'll need fluency in both English and German, strong execution skills, and comfort operating independently while collaborating across SpaceX teams on product, marketing, and operations. The role demands analytical rigor (tracking acquisition channels, conversion metrics, and ROI), negotiation ability, and the hustle to run pilots, synthesize customer feedback, and continuously refine go-to-market approaches.
This position is based in Dublin and requires in-office work, with approximately 50% or more travel to customer sites and other SpaceX locations. You should be prepared for extended hours and weekend availability when needed. If you thrive owning regional markets end-to-end and have a track record of measurable growth in consumer or telecom sectors, particularly with rural market experience, this offers genuine ownership of a high-impact expansion effort.
