Business Operations Analyst

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.

BUSINESS OPERATIONS ANALYST (STARLINK) 

One of the most ambitious missions that SpaceX has undertaken to date, Starlink is leveraging our experience in building rockets and spacecraft to deploy the world's most advanced broadband internet system and largest satellite constellation to provide fast, reliable internet to millions of users worldwide, connect humanity, and fund Mars colonization.

Starlink Business Operations combines traditional planning and analysis with broader business decision-making and strategy, directly supporting SpaceX’s leadership. Business Operations is embedded in daily operations, supporting both near-term execution and long-term planning. Team members are expected to analyze data and provide recommendations and to lead cross-functional decision-making and implementation of the recommendations. Starlink Business Operations is lean and dynamic, operating with a fluid structure that favors high agency. We expect high performers to expand their scope across the program’s most critical bottlenecks.

• Translate analysis into strategic insights and hardware mix strategy to accelerate hardware adoption, maximize lifetime value, and minimize working capital
• Orchestrate global supply allocation and demand forecasting by synthesizing complex demand signals against dynamic, geographically specific network capacity constraints, working directly with Network Engineering
• Drive resource planning for specific verticals, including the execution of critical hardware ramp and sunset plans in close collaboration with Hardware & Manufacturing Engineering
• Enable and accelerate go-to-market execution for products post-licensing and certification to ensure zero-latency deployment
• Identify initiatives for improvement of Starlink’s operational trajectory, including developing, tracking, and executing business initiatives with SpaceX’s leadership
