• Translate complex technical concepts into accurate, accessible customer-facing content, including presentations, collateral, event materials, case studies, web content, email campaigns, and sales tools.
• Coordinate with Product Management and technical teams to validate claims, maintain message accuracy, and ensure external materials reflect current product capabilities and positioning.
• Execute digital and outbound marketing activities across web, email, CRM, marketing automation, and related channels; maintain organized campaign and contact data.

• 2+ years of experience in Defense, Security, or Drone-related industries.
• Demonstrated ability to organize and complete multiple competing tasks while maintaining attention to detail, responsiveness, and sound judgment about priorities.
• Strong interpersonal skills and a collaborative working style, with experience supporting Sales, Business Development, Product, or other cross-functional teams.
