Team and Role Overview

Relativity is creating the first autonomous rocket factory. Our vision is to build the future of humanity in space -- starting with rockets. We have an ambitious mission, and we understand that it takes a team to achieve it.

You have an approachable style that builds relationships within and outside of your immediate team, and are able to earn the trust and respect from the business as you drive toward consistency and scalability for Relativity.
