About the position
Outpost is redefining Earth delivery and in-space manufacturing. Founded in 2021, we’re building an advanced reentry vehicle — a SpaceX-launched, reusable shipping container that can deliver up to 10 tons of cargo to any point on Earth within 90 minutes. These vehicles also support in-space production of materials like optical fiber that perform 10–100x better than those made on Earth. We’re already under contract with NASA and five U.S. DoD customers, and we’re on track to significantly grow both our commercial, civil and government customer base. Our reentry technology is unlocking new capabilities across defense logistics, humanitarian response, and high-performance materials manufacturing — one vehicle, two breakthrough markets. We’re looking for an experienced, high-performing marketer who’s ready to take the lead in building a brand from the ground up. As Outpost’s first full-time marketing hire, you’ll have the rare opportunity to define and own the function end-to-end, from strategy to execution. This role starts hands-on: you’ll be shaping our brand, running events, leading content and social efforts, and ensuring every touchpoint reflects the caliber of our mission. As we grow, you’ll have the opportunity to build and lead a team, expand our marketing footprint, and evolve into a key leadership voice within the company. If you’ve been a driving force behind great marketing at high-growth companies and are ready to step into a leadership role with autonomy, creative control, and a mission that matters, this is your opportunity.
