Description
Who You Are
A programme or project professional with a minimum of 5 years’ experience in defence, aerospace, policy, or similarly high-consequence environments.
Comfortable operating between analysis and execution, not confined to either.
Fluent native-level German and fluent English, able to work confidently in bilingual, cross-cultural defence settings.
Some exposure to customer-facing work, even if not yet the primary owner.
Organised, structured, and reliable under pressure, with growing confidence in owning delivery outcomes.
Curious about how programmes actually succeed; commercially, technically, and organisationally.
Motivated by responsibility and progression, not static roles or narrow task ownership.
Energised by working in a small, fast-moving team where learning is accelerated and performance is visible.
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.
Competitive compensation and real share options aligned to responsibility and impact, not tenure or hierarchy.
