Business Development

About Us

At Hathor, we're building the propulsion layer for the space industry. We specialize in design, development and production of liquid rocket engines for launch vehicles, in-space mobility and strategic applications. With capabilities spanning engine design, manufacturing, testing and qualification, our goal is to become a trusted engine supplier for the global space industry.

Our closed-knit team works across propulsion, turbomachinery, manufacturing, testing and business operations. The ambition isn't simply to build something first but to build systems that compete with the world's best in terms of technology, performance and reliability.

Everyone here has significant ownership and responsibility. You’ll work directly on meaningful problems and see your work shape what we build. We hire carefully because every addition to the team matters. 

The people we bring on today will define the company we become tomorrow. 

Fit-Check

We are looking for someone who enjoys figuring things out, can operate with limited structure, and is excited by the challenge of helping build a company from the ground up.

This is not a traditional business development role. Depending on the stage of the company and current priorities, you may find yourself working on market research, commercialization strategy, customer discovery, partnerships, investor relations, fundraising support, due diligence, marketing and branding initiatives, or drafting proposals for government grants. If you're looking for a narrowly defined role with a fixed set of responsibilities, this position may not be the right fit.

What You'll Do

• Conduct market research and identify potential customers, partners, and opportunities
• Support commercialization and go-to-market activities
• Build and maintain customer, partner, investor, and industry databases
• Assist with outreach, partnership discussions, and business development initiatives
• Support fundraising activities, investor communication, and due diligence processes
• Help prepare pitch decks, proposals, presentations, reports, and strategic documents
• Monitor industry trends, competitors, and emerging opportunities
• Represent Hathor at conferences, industry events, exhibitions, and meetings when required
• Work closely with founders on high-priority projects across the company

What We're Looking For

• Strong communication and presentation skills
• Ability to learn unfamiliar technical concepts quickly
• Strong research and analytical thinking
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of projects
• Comfort working with ambiguity and incomplete information
• Curiosity, initiative, and a willingness to go beyond the obvious

We care far more about your ability to learn, think critically, and execute than your degree, GPA, or previous job title.

Experience That May Be Relevant

You may be a good fit if you've previously worked in areas such as Business Development, a Founder's Office, Strategy, Venture Capital, Consulting, Commercialization, Partnerships, Marketing & Branding, Fundraising, Investor Relations, or Startup Operations.

Experience in aerospace or deep-tech is helpful but not mandatory. The ability to grasp the technicalities of what we're building quickly should be enough.
