  • Navigate complex technology ecosystems and build strategic relationships with industry partners, customers, OEMs, and other key stakeholders across these markets.
• Fundraising & Investor Relations:
  • Manage stakeholder communications, board prep, investor materials.
• Strategic/ Special Projects:
  • Ensure execution of CEO-driven workstreams.
  • Run CEO-level initiatives, projects, and reporting.

What we offer

• A mission driven environment with the opportunity to work on one of Europe’s most consequential defence challenges, with direct impact on sovereign capability and security.

• Daily collaboration with top experts across engineering, operations, and defence, with real opportunity to learn from the best, contribute, and grow.

• High ownership and autonomy; no time tracking, no micromanagement, just clear objectives and accountability for outcomes.

• A fast paced environment where good ideas are implemented quickly, and feedback from test and flight drives real decisions.

• A culture that values clarity, integrity, and excellence, and supports people who take initiative and push boundaries responsibly.
