Required

Solid foundation with 3-5+ years of experience in market research, competitive intelligence, or analytics roles: We're building a data-centric culture where insights directly fuel growth. Show us your track record in delivering actionable analysis that has influenced BD wins, product pivots, or pricing optimizations—backed by KPIs linked to growth objectives

Strategic curiosity with a data-first mindset: You anticipate market evolutions and thrive on connecting dots between customer pain points, trends, and business levers. A unique lens on the space industry is a major plus

Balance of analytical depth and communication finesse: Comfortable with relevant tools but equally adept at translating complex findings into executive summaries or workshop facilitation

Adaptable and collaborative spirit: You roll up your sleeves in fast-paced environments, iterate based on feedback, and build trust through reliable, unbiased insights

Be a strategic thinker with an in-depth understanding of global space and defense markets and competitive dynamics

Be self-driven and relentlessly proactive. You don't need someone to tell you to 'move'. You just move. We'd rather have to tell you to slow down than to speed up

Have strong analytical aptitude and horsepower. You intuitively think about problems in terms of numbers, and you can execute analyses quickly

Be passionate about identifying and prioritizing high-impact partnerships through rigorous analytical frameworks and excited to collaborate across multiple functions to translate market intelligence into concrete business opportunities

Be comfortable communicating broadly and having a lot of eyes on your work. This role will at-times require comms to large groups and senior leadership
