Job Description

GNSS (GPS) creates upwards of $500B in economic value in the US every year, supporting everything from consumer applications, to transportation systems, to time sync for critical infrastructure. As these industries progress towards autonomy, the performance and security demands of their navigation systems are increasing beyond what GNSS can support, leaving a need for a cost-effective global solution. Using lessons we've learned at places like SpaceX and Blue Origin, Xona is constructing a modern satellite network at the rapid pace of the new space industry leveraging the recent wave of technology and regulatory advancements. Building on our patent pending small satellite architecture, we are developing a robust and accurate service that is an independent alternative to GNSS rather than a correction, solving the longstanding challenge of obtaining a reliable high accuracy solution from the very fragile GNSS signals. Our satellite system will provide the first ever high-accuracy global navigation and timing services with the security and resilience modern applications need to operate safely at scale. As our internal legal counsel, you'll be at the forefront of our organization's success, playing a pivotal role in shaping our contractual relationships and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. You'll have the chance to showcase your skills in drafting, negotiating, and managing contracts while collaborating with cross-functional teams to optimize performance and mitigate the company’s risk exposure. Requirements Minimum 5 years’ experience in drafting, negotiating, and managing contracts or combination of Juris Doctor + minimum 2 years’ work experience. Demonstrated ability to navigate various bodies of laws (e.g., contracts, intellectual property) and regulations (e.g., FAR, DFAR, ITAR, and EAR) under the General Counsel’s direction. Proven experience managing government and/or commercial contracts, including form contracts, NDAs, license agreements, release agreements, MSAs, SOWs, termination notices, contract amendments, and purchase orders. Extensive understanding of one or more of the following: technology licensing, supplier administration, supply chain, purchasing, material management, price/cost analysis and/or production control principles, theories, concepts, and techniques. Desired Qualifications Experience managing contracts related to the sale of commercial items to government entities to include federal and international buyers. Understanding of international government acquisition regulations for the Canadian Space Agency, United Kingdom/UK Space Agency, or European Space Agency. Experience in one or more of the following industries: space, technology, cybersecurity, SaaS, emerging technology, U.S. federal and/or foreign governments.
