Our Space Practice specialises in strategy, M&A, and regulatory projects within the space and satellite market. You will collaborate with our global pool of strategy consultants, leading both local and international projects as we work in partnership across the world.

Managers are critical members of our project teams, having a clear impact on project delivery and quality, and on developing our teams.

This is why, as a minimum, you need existing consulting experience, having managed and delivered strategic projects for high profile clients in the sector, and a passion for space.

Negotiating Your Space Job Offer: Equity, Bonuses & Perks Explained

How to Secure a Compensation Package That Reflects Your High-Flying Role in the UK’s Growing Space Sector Introduction The UK’s space industry is expanding at an unprecedented pace. From satellite constellations designed to monitor climate change to cutting-edge propulsion systems for interplanetary missions, professionals in the space sector are at the forefront of innovation that extends beyond Earth’s boundaries. As a mid‑senior engineer, scientist, or project manager in this domain, you’re not merely contributing to routine tasks—you’re helping propel humanity’s future exploration and commercial utilisation of space. Such an important contribution deserves a negotiation strategy that looks beyond a simple salary figure. Today’s top space organisations—whether they focus on launch vehicles, satellite communications, or advanced in-orbit services—recognise they must attract and retain specialised talent. As a result, compensation packages increasingly encompass equity (tying your success to the company’s ascent), performance-based bonuses (rewarding major project milestones), and perks (supporting both your career progression and well-being). Focusing solely on monthly pay can mean missing out on these crucial opportunities. This guide helps you navigate the full scope of your potential offer—understanding equity structures that capture growth, identifying milestone-based bonuses linked to successful missions or technology demonstrations, and leveraging perks that enhance your daily satisfaction in a mission-critical field. By adopting a well-informed, holistic approach, you can land a deal that truly mirrors your high-impact contributions to the UK’s booming space sector.
