Meridian is building a fundamentally new model for sovereign space infrastructure—delivering complete, owned Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations that provide governments and commercial operators with full control, assured access, and sovereign communications capability at a fraction of the cost of developing these systems independently.

Backed by leading venture capital investors and engineering partners, we are rapidly scaling the design, production, and deployment of the satellites, ground systems, and network infrastructure that will power Meridian's next-generation constellations.

Joining Meridian means working at the forefront of one of the world's most ambitious space programs underway today - designing and building constellations that will put sovereign connectivity within reach of nations and operators worldwide. You'll be part of a close-knit, collaborative team that thrives in a fast-paced, innovative environment, where your work directly advances the design, development, and deployment of satellite constellations that governments and enterprises around the world will depend on for secure, resilient, and sovereign connectivity.

Spectrum Strategy and ITU Coordination

We are seeking an experienced VP / SVP, Global Regulatory & Spectrum Affairs to lead Meridian's worldwide spectrum and regulatory strategy.

Reporting directly to the CEO, this executive will be responsible for protecting and developing Meridian's spectrum assets, managing international frequency coordination, securing regulatory authorisations and market access, and supporting the deployment of our LEO constellation solutions.

This is a strategic leadership role requiring a combination of deep technical expertise, commercial judgement, international regulatory experience and strong negotiation skills.

The successful candidate will work closely with engineering, commercial and programme teams to ensure that spectrum and regulatory considerations are fully integrated into Meridian's constellation architecture, business strategy and international expansion.

We are particularly interested in candidates with direct experience developing, licensing or operating LEO satellite constellations.
