About Loft Orbital
Loft Orbital, founded in 2017 with offices in San Francisco, Golden, Colorado and Toulouse, takes the integration, launch and operation of a satellite off its customer's hands: it flies their physical payloads on buses from its own inventory, lets them deploy and task software on its low Earth orbit fleet, and sells Earth observation, IoT connectivity, on-orbit AI and national security missions on that model, naming NASA, EarthDaily, Wyvern and Helsing among its customers and partners. Its sellers work as senior business developers who originate deals rather than inherit accounts, each owning a cycle that runs from an early concept through a pathfinder mission and proposal to the contract and, later, repeat spacecraft or a full constellation. In the Americas a director hunts commercial space companies and emerging constellation operators and builds ties with spacecraft makers, launch providers and integrators; in Europe a VP of business development runs the EMEA sales engine across commercial accounts and institutions such as ESA, CNES and DLR, shaping RFPs and structuring multi-year programmes, while a director for defence and government sells to the French Ministry of Armed Forces, the DGA, the space command and CNES through public tenders and innovation programmes, which calls for French and eligibility for a national defence clearance. Orbitworks, a satellite manufacturing joint venture in Abu Dhabi built on Loft's heritage, hires a director and a manager of business development who prospect, write proposals and negotiate contracts with government, defence and enterprise buyers across the UAE and MENA. An onboard software solutions engineer listed with the Orbitworks openings builds and tests flight software for customers' payloads and is an engineering job, not a selling one.

SalesJobs.Now is free for job seekers. Some links here pay us: a job ad network pays for a click on one of its sponsored jobs, a recruiting firm pays a referral fee when someone who came from here is hired, and a career tool pays a commission when you buy it. That costs you nothing and never lowers what you are paid. Roles whose links pay us can be placed higher in a list. "Featured roles" are openings an employer picked during a free trial with us; no employer can pay for that spot.

Pay at Loft Orbital
Stated by the company, checked 2026-10-30From our research: stated by the company, checked 30 Oct 2026
Read from its postings on 30 Oct 2026: Only its US posting states pay: Lever's pay field carries a yearly base range, printed because state law requires it, with quota-based variable compensation on top that lifts on-target earnings above that range, and the posting calls the range intentionally wide because it is set by experience and skills. The French, EMEA and Abu Dhabi postings name no salary or variable plan, and no posting gives a base to variable split. Ask what the quota counts (signed contract value, mission revenue or programme value over several years), how a deal that starts as a pathfinder and grows into a constellation is credited across years, and for the Orbitworks seats whether pay is set in dirhams and includes housing or other UAE allowances. The roles listed below state what Loft Orbital posts now.
