Global Controller

Overview

Orbit Fab's mission is to create the foundational infrastructure that will fuel a bustling in-space economy, capable of sustaining permanent jobs in space. Today, satellites cannot be refueled, which constrains their mobility and inhibits the development of economic activities in space.

Orbit Fab breaks the single-use paradigm, pioneering our Gas Stations in Space refueling infrastructure and RAFTI technology to deliver propellant in space, enabling lower-cost satellite construction, increased maneuverability, precise control, and extended lifespans. The possibilities are unprecedented, opening the doors to unimagined operational strategies and business models.

Since our establishment in 2018, we have achieved the successful launch of three tankers to space. With offices in both the US and UK, we are working in close collaboration with partners and customers across the space industry. Orbit Fab is rapidly ramping up capabilities and requires exceptional talent to tackle important challenges. Our roles offer wide ranging opportunities to have a demonstrable impact and enable a bustling space economy.

We are seeking a highly motivated, experienced and detail-oriented individual to support the rapid growth of our business. Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer, the Corporate Controller will be responsible for implementation and oversight of all global accounting operations including the production of periodic financial reports and the implementation of best-in-class financial reporting processes designed to enhance the accuracy of our financial results. Leading a small internal and outsourced team, this hire will ensure that reported results comply with generally accepted accounting principles and PCAOB standards. The position is also responsible for the oversight of cash management, payroll, and tax reporting / filings across the various jurisdictions in which we operate (currently US and UK).
