About Astra Space AI

Astra Space AI is an early-stage startup developing an AI-native enterprise operating system for Autonomous Organizations. We are looking for founding team members to join us in building something meaningful.

Role Overview

This is not a conventional sales role. The chosen candidate will work closely with the Founder to establish the company's go-to-market approach, focusing on forming our initial customer and partner base and driving early revenue achievements.

Primary Responsibilities

• Identify and engage businesses to become our initial success stories.
• Develop and nurture relationships with founders, CXOs, and business leaders.
• Create and expand our initial network of customers and partners.
• Generate qualified business opportunities that align with company goals.
• Collaborate with the Founder on strategic decisions related to market entry and growth.

Preferred Candidate Profile

• Enjoys interacting with new people and building meaningful relationships.
• Comfortable engaging with high-level executives and business owners.
• Passionate about solving business challenges rather than simply selling products.
• Able to operate effectively amidst uncertainty and create opportunities from the ground up.
• Motivated to build a lasting enterprise rather than following predefined procedures.

Unsuitable Candidate Traits

• Seeking only a fixed monthly salary without incentive.
• Requires a rigid corporate structure with detailed daily instructions.
• Uncomfortable taking ownership or initiative.
• Looking for routine or typical sales jobs.

Compensation and Benefits

As an early-stage startup, Astra Space AI offers a competitive fixed salary appropriate to your experience level, along with meaningful performance-related incentives. There is also potential to earn equity through Employee Stock Option Plans (ESOPs), enabling long-term wealth creation and ownership benefits.
