Do you want to own and shape national space capability? Join GomSpace Academy and make a lasting impact

Do you take ownership, connect people and partners, and turn complex topics into clear, valuable offerings? This is not a predefined role with a handbook — it is an opportunity to define and build a first-of-its-kind Academy solution at the intersection of space, geopolitics, and defence, with direct impact on both national capability and customer success.

Your Role

You'll work at the core of GomSpace's growing solution business, owning and delivering the GomSpace Academy offering as a key enabler of national space capability building.

This is a hands-on role in a boot-strapping phase, combining solution ownership, coordination, and delivery leadership. You will define what the Academy is — its structure, content scope, and evolution roadmap — and ensure it is ready to be delivered at high quality. Acting as the internal focal point for all Academy-related coordination, you will work closely with senior stakeholders, commercial teams, and delivery partners, with significant influence on how national capability-building solutions are shaped and delivered.

You will also support the commercial organization in positioning the Academy and contributing to deals, ensuring that the offering provides clear customer value and measurable impact. Continuously gathering and acting on feedback, you will translate insights into improvements and drive the Academy's credibility with customers and partners. As this is an early-stage setup, you should expect to step in personally wherever gaps need to be filled.

Your tasks include:

• Owning the GomSpace Academy solution offering and its ongoing development

• Designing and maintaining solution and presentation material for customers, partners, and internal stakeholders

• Developing business models, pricing logic, and customer value propositions supporting Academy offerings

• Orchestrating internal and external Academy partners (e.g. universities, institutions, industry partners)

• Ensuring solution readiness and coordinating delivery of training and capacity-building activities

This role has no line management responsibility in the initial phase. The focus is on ownership, coordination, quality, and delivery — not classroom teaching. Workload may vary depending on customer activity and deal flow, and flexibility is required.

Short- and Long-Term Success

In the initial phase, success means:

• The GomSpace Academy offering is clearly defined and well communicated internally

• Academy solution material is ready and actively used in sales engagements

• Strong internal relationships are established across BUs and functions

• The sales organization is trained and confident in positioning the Academy

• The first Academy-related deals are closing

Longer term, you'll take responsibility for:

• Establishing GomSpace Academy as a trusted capability-building offering for national customers, contributing strategically and commercially to national solutions

• Building and activating a strong partner ecosystem that contributes to delivery and strategy

• Positioning the Academy as a key enabler for onboarding new national customers

• Growing a sustainable Academy pipeline aligned with BU growth targets

• Enabling repeat customers and long-term Academy engagements

What You Bring

You're a structured and commercially minded professional who enjoys turning complexity into clarity and ideas into reality. You're comfortable operating in early-stage setups and motivated by building something that did not previously exist. You communicate clearly and convincingly, both verbally and in writing, and you understand how to navigate customers and stakeholders in government, defence, or institutional environments.

You likely:

• Hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree (field is flexible) combined with relevant professional experience

• Have around 5 years of experience within the space sector

• Are confident working hands-on with space missions, space systems, or space operations

• Understand how to work across organizational boundaries, coordinate complex initiatives, and contribute to commercial outcomes

• Thrive on creating structure, offerings, and partnerships in evolving environments

Fluency in English (spoken and written) is required; Danish is an advantage but not a requirement.

Who You Are

You're not just a solution manager — you're a builder, connector, and owner. You take responsibility naturally and are motivated by impact rather than formal authority.

You bring:

• Ownership & initiative – you step in, take responsibility, and drive things forward

• Open communication – you're transparent, proactive, and follow up

• True leadership – you act with integrity and build trust across stakeholders

• Structure & clarity – you enjoy building, refining, and maintaining scalable solutions

• Human insight – you understand how solutions, training, and advice fit into people's real-world challenges

You're comfortable working close to geopolitics and defence stakeholders and remain pragmatic, respectful, and professional in complex environments.
