About Galactic:

Galactic Advisors is here to assist, advise and educate Managed Service Providers (MSPs) on how to best protect their clients from cyberattacks. We provide tools and assessments to help MSPs determine just how vulnerable they and their clients are to attack, and strategies to improve and build out their cyber stacks.

We’re an agile, fully-remote company, and we’re growing fast. We all want to make a difference in our company's mission to help protect a Million people.


  • We’re looking for people who:

Take Extreme Ownership: Our team owns their issues, successes, and challenges. We have grit and step up to the plate. We look for ways to say, yes – we can do that.

Do It Better: We constantly look for ways to make life easier (and fun), often through process improvement, and automation.

Make It Fun: If it isn’t fun, it isn’t worth doing. Even the hard stuff is fun to do if you have the right mindset and the right people around you. Doing it better and making it fun go hand in hand.

Do The Right Thing: It’s much harder than sitting back or cutting corners—that is why it’s called the right thing, rather than the easy thing.
