Meet Slingshot 

At Slingshot Aerospace, we're on a mission to make space safer and more secure for everyone. Our work directly impacts global security, disaster response, climate monitoring, and the critical infrastructure that connects our world. We're a team of builders, thinkers, and problem-solvers who believe that the next generation of space operations will be powered by better data and smarter software. 

We move fast, we're not afraid to fail, and we believe the best ideas can come from anywhere—whether you're in engineering, sales, product, or operations. If you want to work on something that truly matters, with people who care deeply about the impact we're making and help shape the future of an industry that's just getting started, you're in the right place. 

 What You’ll Be Launching 

Slingshot Aerospace is seeking a Manager of Growth, APAC to join our international team and lead our expansion across one of the most dynamic space regions in the world. 

This role goes beyond traditional sales. You will shape and execute Slingshot’s growth and sales strategy across the Asia-Pacific region, building trusted relationships with government, defense, and commercial space organizations. You will help customers achieve their mission objectives by demonstrating how Slingshot’s Space Operations Intelligence and Autonomy capabilities can deliver advantage for them. 

Space operations are evolving rapidly. Nations and commercial operators are facing new challenges in maintaining awareness, resilience, and operational superiority in orbit. In this role, you will work closely with customers as they adapt to these changes—helping them understand how Slingshot’s data, platforms, and mission support capabilities can help them maintain the edge. 

We're building a team of sharp, creative people who love solving hard problems. Bring your expertise, your fresh ideas, and your drive—we'll bring the rocket fuel.
