Business Development & Capture Manager

Overview

LEAP is building the future of space logistics, advanced propulsion, and high-tempo applied aerospace operations. We move fast, build quickly, and solve problems that don’t have playbooks.

We’re always looking for extraordinary people - across engineering, operations, manufacturing, government contracting, mission assurance, business, and everything in between - who want to be part of an ambitious, high-growth team.

This is our general application for individuals who believe they can meaningfully contribute to LEAP’s mission, even if a posted opening doesn’t perfectly match their background.
