Meridian is building a fundamentally new model for sovereign space infrastructure—delivering complete, owned Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations that provide governments and commercial operators with full control, assured access, and sovereign communications capability at a fraction of the cost of developing these systems independently.
Backed by leading venture capital investors and engineering partners, we are rapidly scaling the design, production, and deployment of the satellites, ground systems, and network infrastructure that will power Meridian's next-generation constellations.
Joining Meridian means working at the forefront of one of the world's most ambitious space programs underway today - designing and building constellations that will put sovereign connectivity within reach of nations and operators worldwide. You'll be part of a close-knit, collaborative team that thrives in a fast-paced, innovative environment, where your work directly advances the design, development, and deployment of satellite constellations that governments and enterprises around the world will depend on for secure, resilient, and sovereign connectivity.
This is a full-time position located in London, United Kingdom that will be primarily remote and will require flexibility for in-person meetings and events.
Your Mission on the Team:
As Executive Assistant to the CEO, you will play a central role in enabling leadership effectiveness and operational execution in a fast-growing international space technology company. This role is designed as a high-impact partnership to the CEO to ensure he is focused on the highest-value priorities while driving alignment, coordination, and follow-through across the organization.
You will operate at the core of the business, managing a complex and dynamic agenda, anticipating needs, and removing friction to ensure decisions translate into action. This includes orchestrating executive communications, preparing for critical engagements, coordinating international travel, and maintaining visibility into key initiatives to ensure momentum is sustained. The role requires strong judgment, discretion, and the ability to navigate competing priorities with precision in a fast-changing environment.
