About the role

World Disaster Center is launching a satellite-enabled program to strengthen disaster prediction, monitoring, and response globally. We seek a Space Systems Lead/Director to design, fund, and execute this initiative from concept to deployment. The role emphasizes both technical credibility and fundraising ability, with an expectation to build partnerships with space agencies, industry, and research institutions and to guide a phased execution roadmap and an initial operational pilot.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
