    Job description

    What you'll do

    • Own day-to-day delivery of defence programmes or major workstreams, with responsibility for schedule, coordination, and execution.
    • Translate customer requirements and contractual inputs into clear plans, milestones, and priorities that teams can execute against.
    • Work directly with customers, partners, and internal stakeholders, supporting meetings, reviews, and delivery discussions.
    • Coordinate cross-functional teams across engineering, operations, and external suppliers to keep programmes moving at pace.
    • Track progress, risks, and dependencies, surfacing issues early and driving resolution rather than escalation.
    • Support commercial and programme activities, including change control, delivery planning, and customer reporting.
    • Prepare clear, concise programme materials that enable fast, high-quality decisions.
    • Learn by doing: operating close to real customers, real constraints, and real delivery pressure.

    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.
