About the Company
Infinite Orbits GmbH is the German subsidiary of Infinite Orbits SAS (Toulouse, France), a NewSpace company founded in 2017 that now counts more than 200 colleagues across locations including Luxembourg and the UK.
We develop in-orbit servicing solutions - from awareness, inspection, and protection of space assets to life extension and satellite servicing - built on our own autonomous Rendezvous and Proximity Operations (RPO) technology.
Our core product, Orbit Guard, is an in-space hardware solution with GEO heritage, and LEO capability currently in development.
Building our Munich site marks Infinite Orbits' expansion into the German and European defense and space market, establishing a dedicated local team for business development, R&D, product development, project execution, production, and operations.
About the Role
As Proposal & Project Manager, you own proposal writing for Infinite Orbits Germany's bids and funding applications, and lead project delivery once contracts are won. Alongside this, you support PMO activities across Infinite Orbits' sister companies in France, Luxembourg, and the UK, helping standardize project management practices across the Group, and provide subcontractor management support for German projects. You also support financial calculations and internal projects, contributing planning, costing, and delivery structure beyond customer-facing work. This dual focus — proposal ownership before contract award, project and PMO ownership afterward — means you're building real value for the German entity and the wider Group from day one.
Job Description
Proposal writing ownership: Author and structure non-technical proposal content (schedules, work breakdown structures, project plans, commercial framing) for RFI/RFP responses, customer proposals, and funding applications, working closely with the Engineering Team on technical input.
Project management: Own project planning, scheduling, budget tracking, and risk/issue management for won German contracts, from kickoff through delivery.
Financial support: Support financial calculations and cost modeling for proposals, internal projects, and business cases.
Internal project support: Contribute planning and delivery structure to internal projects.
PMO support across the Group: Support PMO activities and best-practice alignment across Infinite Orbits' sister companies, contributing to standardized project management tools, templates, and reporting processes.
Subcontractor support: Manage the contractual, scheduling, and reporting relationship with subcontractors and external partners on German projects, working alongside the Engineering Team on technical oversight.
Stakeholder reporting: Prepare project status reports and delivery updates for internal leadership and customer-facing stakeholders.
Process build-out: Establish project management templates, tools, and reporting processes for the German entity as it scales.
