Job description

Technical Project Manager (USA)

DroneShield Group Pty Ltd, Warrenton, Virginia, United States

About this position

Work with cutting edge AI technology, making the world a safer and more secure place. DroneShield (ASX:DRO) offers an opportunity to solve some of the world’s most challenging technical problems in the rapidly growing counter‑drone sector.

Our customers operate in some of the most challenging and high‑stakes environments in the world, including military organizations, government agencies, airports, critical infrastructure operators, and law enforcement. Protecting airspace in these settings requires technology that performs under pressure and teams that understand what’s at stake. At DroneShield, employees work at the leading edge of counter‑drone innovation, helping to address real‑world security challenges as drone threats continue to evolve globally.

About the role

DroneShield is seeking a Technical Project Manager to lead execution of complex customer deployments, demonstrations, and operational delivery efforts, while supporting larger technical programs under the direction of the Technical Program Manager.

This role is execution‑focused with real ownership – responsible for driving planning, coordination, and execution across multiple concurrent efforts at varying levels of maturity.

Many activities do not arrive as fully defined projects, and priorities can evolve based on customer requirements, operational constraints, and resource availability. Success is achieved through judgement, coordination, and action — not through rigid process alone.

Working across global teams, this role acts as the central coordination point between Sales, Field Service Engineers (FSEs), Engineering, Logistics, and Operations to ensure delivery outcomes are achieved in dynamic, high‑stakes environments.

Responsibilities, Duties and Expectations

• You will own and drive project outcomes through live deployments, demonstrations, and customer engagements.
• Drive day‑to‑day execution, tracking progress against milestones and ensuring work stays on schedule and aligned to objectives.
• Assist with resource planning and alignment across field and technical teams.
• Proactively identify, assess, and manage risks, issues, and dependencies, escalating where required to maintain project momentum.
• Support the Technical Program Manager by executing assigned workstreams within larger programmatic initiatives.
• Coordinate across globally distributed teams and time zones, ensuring seamless communication and execution continuity.
• Participate in customer meetings, project briefings, and internal coordination forums.
• Ensure delivery activities align with safety, quality, export, and site compliance requirements.
• Drive resolution of execution challenges by removing blockers and aligning stakeholders.
• Identify opportunities to improve project execution, tools, and coordination practices.

What you will be working on

• Multiple concurrent customer activities at different stages of maturity.
• Domestic and international delivery coordination across time zones, including periodic out‑of‑hours engagement to support customer delivery.
• Evolving customer requirements and operational priorities.
• Live operational environments where delivery outcomes matter.

You will see the direct impact of your work through real deployments, demonstrations, and customer engagements.
