Proposal & Project Manager (Space & Defense Industry)

Introduction Infinite Orbits GmbH is the German subsidiary of Infinite Orbits SAS (Toulouse, France), a NewSpace company founded in 2017 that now counts more than 200 colleagues across locations including Luxembourg, UK, Spain and Singapore. We develop in-orbit servicing solutions — spanning awareness, surveillance, inspection, and protection of space assets, through to life extension — built on our own autonomous Rendezvous and Proximity Operations (RPO) technology. Our core product, Orbit Guard, is an in-space hardware solution with GEO heritage and LEO capability currently in development.

With our newly established Munich site, Infinite Orbits builds a dedicated local presence in Germany, building capability in business development, R&D, product development, system engineering, production, and mission operations to support Europe's defense and space sector. Tasks Note: Fluent, business-level German (minimum C1) is a mandatory requirement for this role; applications without this level of German cannot be considered. About this Role As Proposal & Project Manager, you own proposal writing for Infinite Orbits Germany's bids and funding applications, and lead project delivery once contracts are won.

Alongside this, you also support internal projects and financial calculations, contributing planning, costing, and delivery structure beyond customer-facing work. As a founding hire, you're not just executing proposals and projects — you're building the operating backbone that lets the German entity scale. Job Description Proposal writing ownership: Author and structure non-technical proposal content (schedules, work breakdown structures, project plans, commercial framing) for RFI/RFP responses, customer proposals, and funding applications, working closely with the Engineering Team on technical input.

Project management: Own project planning, scheduling, budget tracking, and risk/issue management for won contracts, from kickoff through delivery. Internal project support: Contribute planning and delivery structure to internal projects; support financial calculations and cost modeling for proposals, internal projects, and business cases. PMO support across the Group: Support PMO activities and best-practice alignment across Infinite Orbits' sister companies, contributing to standardized project management tools, templates, and reporting processes.
