Senior Program Manager, Government / Public Sector
Hubble Network
Hubble Network was founded with the intention of delivering on the promise of what Internet-of-Things (IoT) was supposed to be. We're building a global Bluetooth® network dedicated to machine-to-machine connectivity. We differentiate ourselves as the first modem-less and gateway-less, direct-to-satellite network from off-the-shelf Bluetooth® Low Energy chips. Hubble is ideal for applications in logistics, AgTech, and maritime where economies of scale for volume consumer and enterprise asset tracking is a priority. Our goal is to be the first billion-endpoint-connected network in the world.
Hubble is an early-stage, venture-backed startup supported by some of the best investors in the world. In their previous lives, the founding team has been successful in raising $100s of millions in venture funding, developing the Amazon Sidewalk network, launching billions of dollars of space assets, and leading their teams to successful exits, both through acquisition and IPO. We are now looking to bring on talented team members who are the best at what they do to help us make Hubble a reality for the world.
We’re looking for a Government / Public Sector Senior Program Manager to lead high-visibility public sector programs that deploy and enhance Hubble’s firmware, SDK, backend, and satellite-enabled capabilities., while also supporting broader space and embedded system initiatives as business needs require.
This role requires disciplined execution under formal government oversight while operating inside a fast-moving, venture-backed company. You will translate contractual and mission-driven objectives into executable workstreams across engineering, product, operations, finance, and supply chain. Depending on portfolio demand and individual background, this role may also provide programmatic oversight across satellite development efforts, embedded firmware initiatives, and external spacecraft or technical vendor engagements.
Success in this role means predictable delivery, structured reporting, controlled scope, and strong stakeholder confidence — without introducing unnecessary bureaucracy that slows technical progress.
