Joining Lockheed Martin also means helping to shape significant investment in the North East space sector, with more than £100 million proposed to support high-skill jobs, advanced manufacturing and long-term economic growth. Opportunities include potential satellite manufacturing in County Durham and collaboration with NESST – the North East Space Skills and Technology Centre at Northumbria University – helping to build a strong pipeline of talent, learning and innovation.

This is your chance to work on mission-critical technology, develop cutting-edge skills and build a meaningful career, while delivering lasting impact for the region and the nation.

The Role:

Lockheed Martin is thrilled to present a distinguished career opportunity for a Business Development Principal, dedicated to fostering sustainable growth within Lockheed Martin's Space operations in the UK.

Contributing to Lockheed Martin's Space growth strategies, with a specific focus on UK National Security and Defence and Civil Space.
Cultivating and sustaining partnerships with senior government, military, civil space, and industry influencers and decision-makers.

• Converting market, environmental, and competitive intelligence into actionable strategies. • Collaborating with Space LOBs and MSAGs to achieve regional and UK security and defence and civil space order commitments.

Retaining comprehensive knowledge of civil and UK defence level growth opportunities.
Overseeing the management of allocated resources, including consultants and contractors.
Co-ordinating seamlessly with GBD&S International, Space LOB, MSAGs, MFOs, and other Business Development teams.

Required skills, qualifications and experience

Extensive expertise in the space sector, ideally spanning government and commercial sectors.
In-depth comprehension of the UK Space ecosystem, including civil, commercial, academic, and think-tank sectors.
A well-established network of senior relationships across government, military, civil space, and industry, especially within UK national security and defence.
A proven business development background, with a thorough understanding of the program lifecycle.
Strong analytical prowess, translating complex market intelligence data into strategic insights.
Capacity to build and retain local talent through strategic recruitment and retention practices.
Skill in forging and preserving senior-level relationships, both internally and externally.
Independence and the ability to thrive in self-directed, unsupervised roles.
