About EOI Space

EOI Space is building a next-generation satellite constellation in Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) to deliver the highest-resolution Earth imagery available from space. Flying lower than traditional satellites lets us capture sharper, more timely data, giving commercial and defense customers a clearer picture of a rapidly changing world, faster than ever before.

Based in Lafayette, Colorado, we’re a small, mission-driven team moving fast to bring this capability to market. As we scale toward Series B and beyond, we’re looking for people who want real ownership over their function and see the undefined parts of this stage as the opportunity, not the obstacle.

About the Role

We are on our way to achieving many industry firsts. This demands an ambitious team that revels in leaning into challenges, getting hands-on, and working together.

The ideal candidate is highly organized, detail-oriented, proactive, and thrives in a fast-paced environment where priorities evolve quickly. The successful candidate will have strong follow-through, sound judgement, and the ability to identify issues that should be escalated to the Senior Contracts Manager.

The Contract Administrator supports the Senior Contracts Manager in the preparation, administration, and management of contracts, subcontracts, non-disclosure agreements, master service agreements, statements of work, consulting agreements, vendor agreements, and customer contracts. This role maintains contract and compliance records, coordinates reviews and approvals, tracks deliverables and contractual obligations, and ensures documentation is complete, accurate, and organized. The Contract Administrator will also provide administrative support for compliance, regulatory, and corporate governance activities managed by the Senior Contracts Manager.
