Maxar is seeking a Director, Portfolio Management to join our Central Technology team. The preferred candidate will be located near one of our main offices in Westminster, CO or Herndon, CO. For a strong candidate we would consider remote within the United States.

Life with us

At Maxar, we realize that "Space is Cool". From manufacturing and flying satellites, to producing image products that can be seen in everyday apps like Google Maps to contributing earth imagery to stop slavery in the fishing industry. We don't create typical technology solutions and we aren't solving the same old problems that a hundred other companies are solving. We make a difference in the world, and we always seek to harness our capabilities For A Better World. Opportunities and growth are abundant at Maxar and we'd love to have you join our team.

We invest in creating an environment where all team members can grow, learn and have fun together. We believe in timely, transparent communication, and short decision paths. We know decisions are best made by the people closest to the tasks. We have close collaboration across teams in Colorado, Virginia, Florida, and Sweden to create global-scale, world-class solutions.

Our solutions

We are building a living digital twin of the entire planet. This geospatial content, continuously updating, combined with access services provides the "operating system" that powers Maxar, Enterprise, and Public Sector solutions. Our visualization platform offers unique 3D geodata with the world's highest quality based on commercial satellite images. Our 3D analyses and data models offer decision-makers all over the world a very accurate 3D basis for use in areas such as security, defense, and infrastructure.

What you'll do day-to-day

You will lead the smooth execution of our investments, starting with business cases for an investment and extending through the process to develop new technologies and new products. In close partnership with Product Managers, you will ensure that our business cases are sound, our technology and product roadmaps are transparent to business leaders, and that we have consistent engagement across the full portfolio of investments. As a master of process and structure, you will optimize how we plan and execute product development activities in a largely decentralized environment where each product development team has their own nuance and optimal way of operating. While a decentralized model provides the highest development efficiency, a common and consistent way to show results, be transparent on plans, and seek feedback from stakeholders is of the utmost importance. Your passion for tooling and instrumenting processes will be key in designing the best stakeholder engagement approach.
