Full job description
SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.
SATELLITE POLICY MANAGER (STARLINK MOBILE)
SpaceX is developing a breakthrough new Starlink Mobile satellite network to bring ubiquitous cellular connectivity worldwide via the Starlink constellation. We are partnering with telecommunication companies around the world to bring this service directly from satellites to existing cell phones, with the goal of providing coverage anywhere a phone can see the sky. Starlink was designed to connect the disconnected and this new product will greatly expand that mission, extending Starlink’s potential reach to billions of existing cellular devices. The applications range from connecting hikers in national parks, emergency workers such as firefighters, rural communities, remote sensors and devices, and people and devices in emergency situations. You can learn more about the next chapter of the Starlink Mobile program here.
Combined with new state-of-the-art satellite technologies, exclusive spectrum, and Starship’s unprecedented payload capacity to low-Earth orbit in a single launch, Starlink Direct to Cell’s next generation service will deliver unparalleled performance to standard, unmodified cell phones and IoT devices – helping to close coverage gaps and ultimately eliminate mobile dead zones around the world.
In this role, you will drive SpaceX’s regulatory and policy strategy to enable this ground-breaking service with a focus on telecommunications regulations, spectrum and satellite policy. This position will require you to apply expertise and focus to advance SpaceX’s licensing and spectrum positions in front of international regulators and government bodies. Success will require a high aptitude for technical fluency, creativity, and excellent strategic communication skills. This is a special opportunity to work at the cutting edge of space and satellite, mobile wireless technologies, and technology policy with a world class team.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Lead regulatory strategy and policy development end to end, towards successful outcomes on accelerated timelines
Advocate to optimize prospective satellite and telecoms regulatory frameworks and policy environments in alignment with SpaceX business objectives
Develop and advocate for broadband and mobile spectrum policies that will further SpaceX’s business objectives and Starlink’s global success
Represent and progress the company’s positions in international fora, including in front of regulatory agencies, industry forums, and regional organizations
Develop powerful advocacy pieces, including pleadings incorporating technical analysis in partnership with technical leads to progress SpaceX’s policy positions
Develop and deliver forward-looking strategy based on a deep understanding of spectrum, business, and regulatory policy issues that impact the regulatory outcomes of the program
Advise the Starlink team on policies and industry developments that impact the policy outcomes of the program

SpaceX designs, manufactures and launches the world’s most advanced rockets and spacecraft. The company was founded in 2002 by Elon Musk to revolutionize space transportation, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary.
SpaceX has gained worldwide attention for a series of historic milestones. It is the only private company ever to return a spacecraft from low-Earth orbit, which it first accomplished in December 2010. The company made history again in May 2012 when its Dragon spacecraft attached to the International Space Station, exchanged cargo payloads, and returned safely to Earth — a technically challenging feat previously accomplished only by governments. Since then Dragon has delivered cargo to and from the space station multiple times, providing regular cargo resupply missions for NASA.
