Own booster recovery end to end for New Glenn, scaling from one recovery vessel to a multi-vessel fleet and multiple ports as launch cadence grows.

This role is part of Blue Origin Operations, which is comprised of Integrated Supply Chain, Test Operations, Safety, Quality, and Mission Assurance. This includes Manufacturing and Supply Chain support across all Blue Origin facilities.

At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. We're working to develop reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. Join our team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight!

This role is part of Blue Origin's Launch Operations organization, where our focus is launching and recovering New Glenn safely, reliably, and at an ever-increasing cadence. Launch Operations owns everything required to turn a rocket into a flight-ready vehicle on the pad and to recover and refly it, from vehicle preparation and integration to pad operations and booster recovery. New Glenn is a reusable rocket, and reusability only pays off if we can recover our booster quickly, safely, and reliably after every flight. As Senior Director of Launch Recovery, you will own the strategy, operational execution, and organizational leadership for the fleet and shore-side operations that catch our booster at sea, bring it home, and hand it off for its next launch. Reporting to the Vice President of Launch Operations, you will lead the functions that operate our recovery vessels at sea, maintain the fleet to a high standard of mission readiness, and manage in-port operations as our fleet and launch cadence both grow, building on the lessons learned from today's recovery operations.
