About this role

Who We Are:
Venus Aerospace is revolutionizing rocket engine propulsion. With the first generational leap in rocket engine technology since Apollo, our proprietary Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine and Venus Detonation Ramjets deliver historic efficiency and performance across aerospace applications. We are building the next generation of propulsion platforms that enable breakthrough capabilities in space, defense, and commercial high-speed flight. Our team thrives on solving the toughest engineering challenges and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in aerospace. At Venus, we’re looking for bold engineers and innovators who want to make history and redefine the future of propulsion.
 
The Role: Contracts Specialist
Venus Aerospace is seeking an experienced Contracts Specialist to join our Legal team and support a broad range of commercial and government contracting activities, with a strong emphasis on government‑facing and government‑adjacent agreements. This is not an attorney role but is ideal for a seasoned contracts professional with deep experience in the defense, aerospace, or other regulated industries where U.S. Government contracting frameworks are central.
 
In this role, you will report to the General Counsel.  You will work closely with Finance, Operations, Business Development, and Engineering teams to manage the full lifecycle of complex contracts that touch federal agencies, defense primes, and other highly regulated stakeholders.
