Live In Space Force Nurse Jobs in Riverside, CA (NOW HIRING)

At Turion Space, we’re on a mission to secure Earth and expand humanity’s reach beyond it. We’re developing spacecraft for national security, space logistics, and remote sensing. As we prepare for upcoming launches and expand our portfolio of government and commercial programs, we’re looking for an Account Executive focused on Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) to join our Business Development (BD) team and drive the growth of our spacecraft bus and payload sales.

This is a full-time, exempt position based on-site at our Irvine, California headquarters.

As an Account Executive at Turion, you will manage full-cycle capture across large-scale government programs. Our BD team doesn't just "find" leads; we manage the entire journey from opportunity creation to final contract close. You will be the tip of the spear for our mission sales, working hand-in-hand with our engineering teams to ensure our technical solutions align perfectly with customer needs. You should be a "team seller" who thrives on the persistence required to win space vehicles opportunities within complex government frameworks.
