Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!

E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.

We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.

About the Role 

We are seeking a motivated, detail-oriented Senior Government Contracts Manager to join our Contracts team on-site in Arlington, Texas. The ideal candidate brings 5-10 years of experience managing federal government contracts and possesses strong working knowledge of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs), data rights frameworks, and contract line item structuring.

The Senior Government Contracts Manager is responsible for the full lifecycle management of government contracts, subcontracts, and OTA agreements, from proposal development and contract negotiation through contract administration, performance management, and closeout. This role serves as a key business partner, ensuring contractual compliance, mitigating risk, and supporting strategic growth objectives across Department of Defense and other federal government programs.

Working closely with Business Development, Program Management, Finance, Supply Chain, and executive leadership, the Senior Government Contracts Manager provides guidance on contractual requirements, proposal compliance, customer obligations, regulatory requirements, and business risk considerations. The successful candidate will balance sound contract management practices with business objectives, helping the organization successfully pursue, win, and execute government contracts while maintaining compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and company policies.

This position is ideal for an experienced government contracting professional with a background in contract management, acquisition, procurement, business administration, law, or a related discipline who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and can effectively manage complex contractual matters with a high degree of independence and professionalism.

This is a full time, exempt position. The total compensation packaged will be determined by various factors such as your relevant job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.  We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used—so we’re looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that’s your experience – then we’ll be immediately wow-ed. E-Space is not currently able to provide employment sponsorship for candidates who do not hold work authorization for the location of this role.
