Here at The Exploration Company, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run.

We are looking for a senior, hands-on digital leader to define and drive our enterprise systems landscape. You will own the ERP strategy and implementation (Odoo), oversee execution by internal and external engineering teams, and ensure seamless integration with adjacent tools (e.g., MES, data/BI platforms, and other operational systems).

You bridge business needs, engineering execution, and system architecture — ensuring scalable, reliable, and well-integrated digital operations across the company.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and own the enterprise systems roadmap, with ERP (Odoo) as the backbone of our operational landscape

• Lead ERP implementation, upgrades and other major system transformations

• Serve as the strategic digital partner to global organization

• Manage software procurement, vendor selection, contract negotiation, and license governance

• Support data centralization and visualization initiatives across systems

• Lead and develop product/enterprise systems team

Required Qualifications

• Proven experience leading ERP implementations (Odoo, SAP, or comparable systems)

• Strong understanding of enterprise system architecture and integrations (APIs, ETL/ELT, data flows)

• Working knowledge of Python and SQL

• Experience leading cross-functional transformation programs

• Experience managing external vendors and subcontractors

• Strong systems thinking and problem solving mindset

Nice to Have

• Background as Senior Consultant / Solutions Architect in Finance or Manufacturing environments

• Experience with BI and dashboarding tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau)

• Experience in aerospace, space, or other high-reliability industries

• Experience scaling digital systems in fast-growing companies

• Experience bringing a product to market.

During the interview process, candidates will be asked to present a case study on architecting the manufacturing digital landscape across multiple enterprise grade tools — covering system boundaries, information flows, and change management for a reusable spacecraft programme. We already run a mature, multi-entity Odoo setup; this role is about scaling it, not building from scratch. Leadership role, requiring seasoned Odoo knowledge across all core modules and experience managing a team.
