About the job

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars. ## SR.

The Enterprise Account Management team serves as the point of contact for customers from contract signature, through successful activation, ensuring all contract terms are fulfilled while and identifying new opportunities to generate business with enterprise customers. Prior to contract signature, the team will have a key role in ensuring that the commitments we make are ones we can successfully execute to.

In the past year, the Starlink team has signed contracts with State and Provincial customers who will subsidize high speed internet programs at a pace and for use cases previously not possible.
