About the role

Here at The Exploration Company, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run.

Requirements
Previous experience in an administrative, operations, or support role

Strong organizational skills and attention to detail

Comfortable working with online tools for invoicing, expenses, and coordination

Clear written and verbal communication skills. English is the working language in the company. German is a big plus.
