Project Manager, Human Spaceflight and Satellites | Chef de projet, vols spatiaux habités et satellites

Vast · Paris

Publiée le 3 septembre 2026

Vast is developing next-generation space stations and space infrastructure using an incremental, hardware-rich, and low-cost approach. Vast is rapidly developing its multi-module Haven Station to ensure a continuous human presence in space for America and its allies, enabling advanced microgravity research and manufacturing, and unlocking a new space economy for government, corporate, and private customers. Haven Demo’s 2025 success made Vast the only operational commercial space station company to fly and operate its own spacecraft. Next, Haven-1 is expected to become the world’s first commercial space station when it launches in 2027, followed by additional Haven modules. Additionally, the company recently announced Vast Satellite, a high-power satellite product line leveraging its space station components and the heritage of Haven Demo.

Headquartered in Long Beach, California, and with more than 1,000 employees and over a billion dollars in private capital, Vast has built the facilities required to manufacture and operate America’s next space station. The company plans to develop future habitats and systems for the Moon and Mars, dedicated space stations for government partners, and other crewed systems that will unlock the expanding long-term space economy.

Vast recherche un(e) Chef de projet – Vols spatiaux habités et satellites, rattaché(e) au Directeur des programmes européens et des ventes.

Ce poste consiste à piloter les activités de prospection, de réponse aux appels d’offres, de déploiement des campagnes commerciales et de suivi des programmes européens liés aux vols spatiaux habités et aux systèmes satellitaires.

En étroite collaboration avec les équipes de développement commercial, d’ingénierie et de gestion de mission du siège de Vast, le/la titulaire du poste assurera l’interface technique et programmatique entre les clients et partenaires européens et le site de Long Beach, en Californie.

Vast Europe est une équipe à taille humaine travaillant en étroite collaboration avec ses clients : agences spatiales, gouvernements, grands groupes industriels et clients privés à travers l’Europe. Le/la candidat(e) idéal(e) sera amené(e) à jongler entre la gestion des propositions, l’exécution des programmes, la coordination technique avec le siège et les échanges directs avec les clients, parfois au cours d’une même semaine.

Cette polyvalence est pleinement assumée, et nous recherchons une personne qui y voit un atout plutôt qu’une contrainte. Ce poste implique une collaboration étroite avec les équipes d’ingénierie, de gestion de mission, juridiques et financières du siège.

Il s’agit d’un poste à temps plein, en CDI, basé dans notre bureau de Paris, siège européen de Vast. Rémunération selon profil et expérience.

Exigences supplémentaires

Vast is looking for a Project Manager, Human Spaceflight and Satellites to serve in a hands-on program and business development role supporting the capture, bidding, and execution of European sales campaigns and program activities across both human spaceflight and satellite systems. The Project Manager will report to the Director, European Programs and Sales, and work in full coordination with the dedicated USA business development, engineering, and mission management teams, and will act as a key programmatic and technical interface between European customers and partners, and Vast HQ in Long Beach, California, USA.

Vast Europe is a small, nimble team operating close to our customers: space agencies, governments, industrial primes, and private clients across Europe. This is not a narrowly scoped role. You will wear multiple hats by design, moving between proposal management, program execution, technical coordination with HQ, and direct customer engagement, sometimes all in the same week. We consider this breadth a feature of the role, and we are looking for someone who does too.

Key Responsibilities

Candidate Profile

A mid-career space program or capture professional with a track record of supporting and winning work with European institutional customers, who is equally comfortable running a bid, coordinating engineers across time zones, and sitting across the table from an agency delegation. The ideal candidate combines strong programmatic discipline with commercial instinct, and thrives with the autonomy and ambiguity of a small office backed by a fast-moving US headquarters.
