About ClearSpace

Founded in Switzerland in 2018 and now headquartered in Luxembourg, ClearSpace builds servicing spacecraft and sells missions flown with them: close inspection of objects in orbit, life extension for satellites in GEO and debris removal, with ClearSpace-1 for the European Space Agency and the Phoenix life-extension mission among its current work. Every sales opening is a business development director, and the seats are split by buyer. The institutional director covers the European Commission and EU programmes (EIC, Horizon Europe), ESA, DLR, CNES and the UK Space Agency, tracking funding cycles such as ESA ministerials and leading the bids; the commercial director sells to satellite operators, space insurers and underwriters and other private space firms; the inspection and defence director builds a backlog with government and defence buyers inside and outside the space sector and owns the capture plans and CRM pipeline. A general director covers all three lines across the group, and a second listing under that same title is based in Toulouse. Capture management and proposal production take up as much of each role as selling, and the commercial posting wants a network already in place among satellite operators and the space insurance market.
