About the role

Rocket Lab Corporation, headquartered in Long Beach, CA, seeks a Business Development Director for National Security (TS/SCI). You will drive growth in the satellite market, engaging with government and prime contractors, and leading capture efforts to secure large defense contracts. You will coordinate with cross-functional teams to craft winning proposals, build long-term customer relationships, and represent Rocket Lab at industry events.

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.
