Senior Supply Chain Compliance Manager

<div class="content-intro"><p data-renderer-start-pos="41">K2 is building the largest and highest-power satellites ever flown, unlocking performance levels previously out of reach across every orbit. Backed by over $1 billion in total funding from leading investors including Altimeter Capital, ICONIQ, Kleiner Perkins, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Redpoint Ventures, and T. Rowe Price — and with over $1 billion in signed contracts across commercial and US government customers, we're mass-producing the highest-power satellite platforms ever built for missions from LEO to deep space.</p>

<p data-renderer-start-pos="570">The rise of heavy-lift launch vehicles is shifting the industry from an era of mass constraint to one of mass abundance, and we believe this new era demands a fundamentally different class of spacecraft. Engineered to survive the harshest radiation environments and to fully capitalize on today's and tomorrow's massive rockets, K2 satellites deliver unmatched capability at constellation scale and across multiple orbits.</p>

<p data-renderer-start-pos="994">With multiple launches in 2027 and plans to scale to 100 satellites a year, we're Building Bigger — helping develop the solar system and build toward a Kardashev Type II (K2) civilization. If you are a motivated individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment and you're excited about contributing to the success of a high-growth Series D-funded company, we'd love for you to apply.</p></div><p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">The Role</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"335559738":240,"335559739":240}"> </span></p>

<p><span data-contrast="auto">You will design, build, and own the compliance program for K2 Space’s supply chain. You will be the subject matter expert in supply chain compliance best practices for space hardware, building a compliant, resilient supply base that gives us a competitive advantage, owning compliance readiness so programs stay on track for build and delivery targets, and coaching team members to work to the same high standards. Key skills include a deep understanding of export controls (ITAR/EAR), government contract flowdowns (FAR/DFARS), counterfeit parts prevention, and supplier compliance qualification requirements, plus the ability to turn complex regulations into practical processes the team can follow. You will work closely with procurement, quality, legal, engineering, programs and external suppliers to deliver hardware that meets cost, schedule, quality and regulatory requirements for our company-critical missions.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559738":240,"335559739":240}"> </span></p>
