About the role

Viridian Space Corporation in El Segundo, California seeks a Director of Business Development to drive growth by articulating propulsion advantages to DoD and commercial customers. You will own the capture process, build relationships across defense and space ecosystems, and translate complex tech into compelling proposals and capability statements. This leadership role demands strategic vision, technical fluency, and autonomous execution to secure programs and expand market presence.

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.
