Your Mission

Building on our early successes in the military and law enforcement sector, you will drive our go-to-market strategy and business development activities across Europe. You will be responsible for shaping customer relationships, winning tenders, and establishing strategic partnerships in the defence and security environment.

Your Responsibilities

• Take full end-to-end ownership of the European military and law enforcement business — from identifying and creating demand to expanding key accounts

• Analyze markets to uncover new opportunities, assess the competitive landscape, and overcome entry barriers, including compliance requirements

• Identify, engage, and win Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and tenders to secure deals with military organizations and related agencies

• Serve as the main liaison between military customers and the product team, ensuring customer insights drive future product innovation

• Partner with local country sales teams to navigate complex military procurement processes, offering expertise, training, and resources for successful engagements

• Build and evaluate strategic partnerships with integrators, resellers, and defence contractors

• Demonstrated success in selling innovative hardware solutions to military and law enforcement organizations (experience in developing segment-specific go-to-market strategies and introducing new vendors or brands into the defence market is a strong plus)

• Deep understanding of military procurement processes (e.g., tenders), compliance requirements, and the decision-making structures of European military organizations

• Well-established network within the defence and security sectors

• Exceptional communication, negotiation, stakeholder management, and teamwork skills

• Self-driven and able to thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment

• Fluent in English, with the ability to negotiate complex deals and communicate effectively with international stakeholders; additional languages (e.g., German, French, Spanish, Arabic) are a strong plus, particularly for regional military engagements

Your benefits

• Flexible work schedules and remote work

• Subsidy for sport memberships and public transport

• Discounts for a variety of sustainable online-shops

• 30 days paid time off

• 5 special leave days for special private events
