Spire is making a fundamental shift in how it operates its constellation. We are moving from a model where trained operators watch dashboards and escape to experts, to one where the system is fully autonomous, self‑healing, and data‑intelligent. This Director will lead that transformation. You will set the technical vision, define the architecture, build and inspire the team, and personally raise the standard for what modern space operations look like.

The old model relies on operators, escalations, manual processes, and institutional knowledge locked in the heads of a few experts. It does not scale and it does not belong in a modern space company.
