About the role

What you'll do

  • Win, shape, and deliver defence programmes from early engagement through execution, owning outcomes end to end.
  • Act as a market-facing leader, managing customer relationships with military, government, and defence stakeholders.
  • Translate customer needs, operational context, and policy drivers into clear programme plans and delivery priorities.
  • Lead programme execution across internal teams and partners, maintaining momentum, clarity, and accountability.
  • Balance commercial, technical, and delivery realities, making hard trade-offs when required.
  • Develop and articulate thought leadership, concept papers, and programme narratives that influence customers and partners.
  • Support business development by identifying opportunities, shaping bids, and converting interest into funded work.
  • Represent Hypersonica with credibility, discipline, and mission focus in high-stakes customer environments.

    • Who you are

  • A programme or delivery professional with 7+ years’ experience in defence, aerospace, policy, or adjacent high-consequence sectors.
  • Comfortable operating in market-facing roles, with real exposure to customers, partners, or stakeholders.
  • Fluent native-level German and fluent English, comfortable operating in bilingual, cross cultural defence environments.
  • Commercially minded, with experience balancing delivery, growth, and customer trust.
  • Prior military service or close operational exposure is a strong advantage.
  • Able to operate confidently with senior customers, not just internally.
  • Clear thinker and strong writer, capable of producing credible programme narratives and thought pieces.
  • Thrives in high-ownership environments where accountability is real and visibility is high.
  • Motivated by building and delivering real capability, not managing process or maintaining status.

    • 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.
