How to Apply for Head of Growth

at Albedo

🏢 About Albedo

Albedo operates low-flying satellites that capture ultra-high resolution imagery specifically for climate monitoring and sustainability applications, positioning them uniquely at the intersection of aerospace technology and environmental impact. Unlike traditional satellite companies focused on broad commercial imagery, Albedo's specialized focus on high-resolution data for sustainability creates a mission-driven environment where technical innovation directly addresses climate challenges.

About This Role

As Head of Growth at Albedo, you'll lead business development and sales across private sector aerospace primes, commercial enterprises, and startups, while shaping the go-to-market strategy for commercial customers. This role is impactful because you'll define how Albedo's unique high-resolution satellite imagery creates value for sustainability-focused clients, directly influencing the company's commercial success and environmental mission.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves analyzing inbound leads from aerospace and commercial sectors using AI tools to prioritize opportunities, developing tailored value propositions for different customer segments based on their sustainability needs, and collaborating with technical teams to understand capability updates. You'll spend significant time conducting strategic outbound to target accounts while managing a pipeline of complex, multi-stakeholder deals, and coordinating with government sales peers to ensure aligned messaging across markets.
