Founders Associate - Manchester

Founders' Associate / Office Manager — Venture-backed deep-tech | Manchester | Full-time

We’re a venture-backed deep-tech business working across space and defence — space domain awareness, on‑orbit systems, next‑generation sensors and counter‑UAS. We’re backed by experienced institutional investors and supported by a board with deep sector credibility.

We’re at an inflection point. The business is scaling out of its earliest phase and we need the person who builds the operating system around it. This is a high‑trust role sitting directly alongside the founders.
