Marketing & Business Development

We're building tools for space missions. Our crown jewel is a stack of in-house simulators. The work ranges from implementing performant physics models and raytracing algorithms to complex interfaces, API design and UX. Our focus is on building small, independent teams. We think what we're working on is pretty cool and fun, and everyone here is passionate for a bunch of stuff, work-related or otherwise :)

We are looking for a Marketing & Business Development Specialist who thrives at the intersection of technical products and commercial strategy. You understand complex engineering tools and can translate them into compelling narratives for engineers, startup founders, academic researchers, and institutional decision-makers alike.

You work from first principles, move fast, and are comfortable operating with high autonomy in an early-stage environment. You have a bias for action: you'd rather run a scrappy outreach experiment and learn quickly than wait for the perfect campaign brief.

Over the next year, you will focus on building our pipeline from scratch — identifying target customers across Europe and North America, establishing our brand presence in the NewSpace ecosystem, and converting interest into recurring SaaS subscriptions.

Everything below is indicative. The bar is high, but don't second-guess yourself! If you feel like you're not ticking all the boxes, but you like what we're doing and want to be a part of it, apply! Nothing bad will come out of it ;)

Responsibilities

• Own the commercial outreach pipeline: identify, qualify, and engage prospects across satellite developers, subsystem manufacturers, constellation operators, and academic institutions.
• Build and execute ODES's digital presence — website, LinkedIn, conference materials, newsletters — establishing a credible brand identity in the NewSpace market.
• Develop market intelligence: track competitor positioning, customer pain points, and emerging regulatory or funding trends to keep our strategy sharp.
• Support the CEO in preparing materials for investor relations, institutional partnerships, and ESA ecosystem engagement.
• Represent ODES at industry events, conferences, and trade shows — generating leads and building relationships across the European and global NewSpace community.
• Translate deeply technical product capabilities into compelling, accessible messaging for varied audiences — from CubeSat teams to mission control operators.

• Demonstrated experience in B2B marketing, business development, or sales — ideally in deep tech, aerospace, or engineering software.
• Strong ability to translate technical complexity into clear, compelling value propositions for non-technical and technical buyers alike.
• Hands-on experience building and managing digital marketing channels (LinkedIn, email, content) with measurable outcomes.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English; ability to write crisp, professional copy across formats.

Nice-to-haves

• Familiarity with the space industry, satellite missions, or ESA ecosystem.
• Experience marketing simulation, MBSE, or mission engineering software.
• Existing network in European NewSpace, aerospace academia, or institutional space programs.
• Experience working at an early-stage startup or spin-off where you had to build from zero.

We're an early-stage deep-tech startup with solid funding and great advisors. We work fully remotely, with a lab in Athens, GR always open for anyone who needs a dedicated space.

Compensation: ODES is committed to fair and equitable compensation practices. Compensation is determined based on your qualifications and experience. Our total compensation package also includes generous equity in ODES.

We are an equal-opportunity employer and do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, disability or other legally protected statuses.
