Job description

K2 is building the largest and highest-power satellites ever flown, unlocking performance levels previously out of reach across every orbit. Backed by $450M from leading investors including Altimeter Capital, Redpoint Ventures, T. Rowe Price, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Alpine Space Ventures, and others – with an additional $500M 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.

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.

With multiple launches planned through 2026 and 2027, we're Building Bigger to develop the solar system and become 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 groundbreaking Series C space startup, we’d love for you to apply.

The Role

As a key contributor to team growth at K2 Space, you'll assist our recruiting team with scheduling, coordination, and ensuring an overall positive candidate experience. You’ll be empowered to help provide solutions and continue refining our recruiting processes, rather than serving in a pure coordination capacity. Your daily responsibilities will include managing end-to-end interview scheduling, guiding candidates through the interview process, and delivering a world-class candidate experience. This is a full-time, on-site position in Torrance, CA.

Responsibilities

Own the end-to-end scheduling of all candidate interviews
Partner with recruiters to provide exceptional candidate support and ensure smooth execution of onsite interviews
Guide candidates through the interview pipeline with clear and frequent communication to candidates and hiring managers
Coordinate candidate travel and handle associated expenses, as necessary
Streamline processes to elevate the experience for both external candidates and internal stakeholders

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree or equivalent of 2+ years of industry experience in a high paced environment

Nice to Have

Experience working in a start-up environment
Proficiency with the Microsoft Suite
Experience utilizing an applicant tracking system such as Greenhouse
Highly organized with a knack for prioritizing a strong candidate experience
Attention to detail in an environment with frequent change
Experience scheduling a high volume of interviews and meetings with nuanced availability and requirements

Compensation and Benefits:

Hourly pay range for this non-exempt role is $25 – $40 + equity in the company
Compensation will be based on several factors, including, but not limited to: knowledge and skills, education, and experience level
Comprehensive benefits package including unlimited paid time off, medical/dental/vision coverage, life insurance, paid parental leave, and many other perks

If you don’t meet 100% of the preferred skills and experience, we encourage you to still apply! Building a spacecraft unlike any other requires a team unlike any other and non-traditional career twists and turns are encouraged!

If you need a reasonable accommodation as part of your application for employment or interviews with us, please let us know.

Export Compliance

The person hired for this role will have access to information and items controlled by U.S. export control regulations, including the export control regulations outlined in the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR).
