Executive Vice President, Marketing

Executive Vice President, Marketing Location: Playa Vista, California ( in-person, five days per week ) The return lane isn’t going to build itself. Come build it with us. Outpost is an orbital logistics company rewriting the rules of global logistics by building reusable Earth-return vehicles that unlock in-space manufacturing, on-orbit warehousing, and 60-minute global delivery through space. Our CarryAll vehicle family returns payloads ranging from 200 kilograms to 10 metric tons, lands within 10 meters of its target, and can then be refurbished and launched again. One vehicle, many missions: responsive logistics and precision delivery for national security; commercial cargo moved with real cadence; R&D payloads flown, tested, and refined across repeatable cycles; and critical aid delivered where roads and runways can’t reach. The demand is already here, validated through defense and civil agreements and supported by a growing pipeline of government and commercial customers. We have the customers, the team, and a clear technical path ahead of us. We’re building the return lane. Come build it with us The Opportunity Outpost is seeking a senior marketing executive to convert this momentum into a sophisticated, repeatable market-engagement engine. Reporting to the President, this leader will steward and activate the refreshed brand while shaping how Outpost is understood and experienced across commercial, civil, national security, investor, partner, media, and talent audiences.

You will partner closely with executive leadership and leaders across engineering, programs, business development, government sales, operations, and recruiting.

Drive consistent adoption across the company and evolve the platform deliberately as business and market needs develop. Build a relationship-marketing strategy that maps priority customers, partners, influencers, and stakeholders across complex, multi-year business development paths, with clear engagement objectives, touchpoints, content, and ownership. Lead customer and product marketing across commercial, civil, and national security offerings, equipping business development and executive teams with tailored narratives, collateral, case studies, campaigns, and account-specific support. Own an integrated communications and news cycle spanning company announcements, media engagement, executive communications, thought leadership, digital and social channels, and content - sequencing each moment to build credibility and sustained momentum. Define and lead the annual event cycle across industry conferences, customer engagements, demonstrations, product launches, recruiting events, and other external moments. Set audience objectives, relationship outcomes, measures of success, and disciplined follow-up. Translate complex technical products, programs, and mission concepts into clear, credible narratives for technical, commercial, civil, government, investor, and public audiences.
