Marketing Manager

Umbra builds next-generation space systems that observe the Earth in unprecedented fidelity. 

Our mission: Deliver global omniscience.

To stay ahead of climate change, geopolitical risk, and other major crises and issues, we need a global understanding of what is changing, where, and how fast. Umbra provides easy access to the highest quality commercial satellite data available, which is an indispensable tool for the growing number of organizations monitoring the Earth. We empower our customers to create the solutions that inform, inspire, and address our planet’s most pressing needs. We’re helping to create a brand new industry that has never meaningfully existed before.

Umbra is seeking a Marketing Manager to help manage our B2B/B2G marketing efforts to drive awareness, improving Umbra’s brand position in the Earth observation market.

This role reports to the Director of Marketing, and will work closely with Umbra’s Commercial Experience, Design, Government Programs teams, and our partners to strategize and develop marketing plans that achieve targeted goals.
