The Opportunity

This is a high-impact, front-line commercial role focused on winning and shaping opportunities within the German defence market. You will play a key role in developing strategic relationships and driving new business across a portfolio of advanced communication and network-based solutions.

You will be given the autonomy to:

• Build and leverage your network across the German defence community

• Lead bids and proposals with defence organisations and prime contractors
• Engage directly with senior decision-makers across government and industry
• Influence growth strategy within a rapidly expanding organisation

What We're Looking For

We are specifically interested in individuals who bring:

• A strong track record in defence sales or business development
• An established network within the German defence ecosystem

• Experience selling complex technical solutions (e.g. communications, networks, electronics, or systems)
• Proven ability to open doors and win business in a competitive environment
• Strong commercial acumen with experience in bids, capture, or account growth
• Native-level German and fluent English

What this role offers

• Access to a high-growth area of defence (secure connectivity, networked systems)
• Opportunity to operate at the intersection of technology and mission-critical operations
• A role with ownership, not just account management, but true business building
• Backing of an established global organisation with strong technical capability
• Flexible / remote working with a focus on outcomes, not process

If you are well-connected within the German defence market and looking for a role where you can directly influence growth and strategy , we would be interested in speaking with you.
