At Relativity Space, we’re building rockets to serve today’s needs and tomorrow’s breakthroughs. Our Terran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit, meeting the growing demand for launch capacity. But that’s just the start. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock new opportunities to advance science, exploration, and innovation, pioneering progress that reaches beyond the known.
Joining Relativity means becoming part of something where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level. Here, you're not just executing tasks; you're solving problems that haven’t been solved before, helping develop a rocket, a factory, and a business from the ground up. Whether you’re in propulsion, manufacturing, software, avionics, or a corporate function, you’ll collaborate across teams, shape decisions, and see your work come to life in record time. Relativity is a place where creativity and technical rigor go hand in hand, and your voice will help define the stories we’re writing together. Now is a unique moment in time where it’s early enough to leave your mark on the product, the process, and the culture, but far enough along that Terran R is tangible and picking up momentum. The most meaningful work of your career is waiting. Join us.
About the Team:
The Materials Management team ensures the right material is in the right place at the right time to enable the production and build of Terran R, owning the full lifecycle of material flow from planning and inventory to warehousing, shipping, and receiving. Operating at the intersection of supply chain and production, the team translates build plans into executable material strategies, resolving shortages in real time and optimizing for speed, accuracy, and cost. As the company scales, Materials Management plays a critical role in building the systems, processes, and infrastructure needed to support higher production rates, enabling consistent build velocity and operational excellence across the factory and test environments.
About the Role:
The Director of Materials Management will lead the strategy, execution, and continuous evolution of Relativity’s materials operations as Terran R transitions from development into full-rate production. This role is responsible for building a scalable operating model—spanning organization design, systems, and physical infrastructure—that enables efficient, high-throughput manufacturing. As a senior leader, you will drive cross-functional alignment, establish operational rigor through metrics and process discipline, and ensure materials operations can keep pace with ambitious production targets in a dynamic, fast-growing environment.
