Job description

<div class="content-intro"><p><strong>Katalyst Description:</strong></p> <p>We build robotic spacecraft that enable dynamic space operations, creating a future&nbsp;where maneuvering, upgrading, refueling, and exploration are as routine as they are on&nbsp;Earth. Getting to space and overcoming the gravity well is only half the story. What you&nbsp;do there is the future. We are not building the trains. We are&nbsp;building the machines that&nbsp;lay down the tracks. By developing the foundational capabilities that make sustained,&nbsp;responsive operations possible, we enable a new era of space activity that strengthens&nbsp;national security and ensures freedom of action in an increasingly contested domain.<br><br></p> <p><strong>Katalyst Culture:</strong></p> <p>Working at Katalyst is intense, hands-on, and deeply rewarding. You’ll take real ownership and see your work move from concept to operations in an environment where the problems are hard and the impact is real. We value humility, craftsmanship, and doing things the right way, even when it’s harder. You’ll work closely with thoughtful, driven teammates who push each other to do their best.&nbsp;</p></div><p><strong>Overview</strong></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto"><span class="TextRun SCXW266890302 BCX0" lang="EN-US" data-contrast="auto"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW266890302 BCX0">The Contract Manager&nbsp;</span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW266890302 BCX0">is responsible for</span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW266890302 BCX0">&nbsp;overseeing the full lifecycle of contracts, ensuring compliance with contractual obligations, and supporting business development and proposal activities.
