Circus Group

OUR MISSION At Circus (Xetra: CA1), headquartered in Munich, we are pioneering global developments in on-demand autonomous food production. Everything from creation to production and operation – enabled by seamlessly integrated cutting-edge robotics and transformative AI technology. Our foundation rests in the extensive developments of groundbreaking robotics driven by artificial intelligence, previously the missing link in achieving true autonomous food automation. This is the moment for a new status quo: Just as autonomous driving will disrupt how we build cities, organize our days, and live our lives, so will we shift our whole reality around food. Our Team is backing a paradigm shift in one of humanity's most important sectors with the sharpest minds in Robotics, AI, Engineering and Culinary, collaborating closely with industry-leading partners to revolutionize every aspect of the food service experience. Join us as we forge ahead, crafting a future where the art of cooking and the science of technology converge to create a world that thinks differently about food than it has for thousands of years – a world where food means something new. ABOUT THE ROLE We are expanding through new commercial partnerships, acquisitions, and an expanding operational footprint. This role exists to make sure our most complex, high-priority initiatives are properly scoped, driven, and landed — not left to drift across teams. You'll own several strategic projects in parallel at any given time. The scope shifts with the business: one quarter it could be post-merger integration of an acquired company, the next a major commercial partnership, a new market entry, or a critical cross-functional ops programme.

YOUR DAILY BUSINESS * Own a portfolio of high-priority strategic initiatives in parallel — driving each from initial scoping through execution to close-out * Drive post-merger integration workstreams when Circus acquires, ensuring acquired entities are operationally embedded and synergies are realised on plan * Scope new strategic projects from scratch — define objectives, owners, timelines, dependencies, and success criteria before execution begins * Build and maintain programme roadmaps, tracking milestones across workstreams, surfacing blockers early, and keeping leadership aligned * Manage upward and sideways — prepare decision-ready materials for the CEO and leadership team, escalate risks, and push for resolution when things stall * Bridge Business Development and Operations — translate BD and CorpDev priorities into structured, executable plans in collaboration with the relevant teams * Create structure in ambiguous situations — when a critical initiative has no clear owner or framework, you provide both BASE QUALIFICATIONS * 2–4 years of experience in Corporate Development, M&A, strategy consulting, or a Founders Associate / Chief of Staff type role * Direct exposure to complex, company-level initiatives — M&A transactions, post-merger integration, strategic partnerships, or similar * Strong scoping and structuring skills — you can take a vague mandate and turn it into a clear, owned plan * Comfortable managing multiple workstreams in parallel without losing grip on any of them * Excellent stakeholder management — you know how to align people who don't share the same priorities * Strong written and verbal communication in English; German is a plus * High ownership mindset — you treat deadlines as commitments and don't wait to be chased * You actively use AI tools in day-to-day work — you've integrated AI into how you research, structure, communicate, and execute PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS * Experience specifically in post-merger integration or corporate venture / M&A execution * Background in investment banking, private equity, or management consulting * Familiarity with product operations or agile delivery methodologies * Exposure to hardware, robotics, or food tech industries OUR OFFER * Compensation: Competitive base salary with stock options for full-time employees - real listed equity, not virtual units. * Time Off: Unlimited paid vacation – we trust you to manage your time responsibly. * Flexibility: Hybrid work setup with up to 2 months/year fully remote (Worcation). * Personal Development: Annual training budget for workshops, coaching, conferences, or books.  * Mobility: Monthly flex benefit spendable on lunch, mobility, internet costs, or childcare via Become.1 - plus optional JobRad bike leasing or a subsidized Dance e-bike/e-moped subscription. * Well-Being: Employer-subsidised membership to Urban Sports Club or Wellhub – access to gyms, studios, and wellness offerings across Germany.

STARK

ABOUT US STARK is a new kind of defence technology company revolutionizing the way autonomous systems are deployed across multiple domains. We design, develop and manufacture high performance unmanned systems that are software-defined, mass-scalable, and cost effective. This provides our operators with a decisive edge in highly contested environments.  We are focused on delivering deployable high-performance systems - not future promises. In a time of rising threats, STARK is bolstering the technological edge of NATO Allies and their partners to deter aggression and defend Europe - today.  ABOUT THE TEAM Mission Simulation is STARK’s digital proving ground — the tactical environment where our entire ecosystem of UAVs, surface vessels, and EW systems converges. The Mission Simulation team is a small, specialized group based in Munich, working closely with our platform and C2 teams to integrate all multi-domain assets into high-fidelity, Software-in-the-Loop simulators. We move fast, ship realistic environments, and build for three core purposes: rigorous testing, high-stakes demos, and tactical training. There is no room for gamification. We simulate the reality of combat — from complex swarm logic to EW degradation — ensuring that developers can fail fast, and real soldiers can train safely before hitting the battlefield. YOUR MISSION To conceptualize, build, and optimize high‑fidelity tactical missions and progressive training curriculums within VBS4, transforming customer requirements into dynamic virtual battlespaces that seamlessly integrate STARK’s unmanned systems and Loitering Munitions. RESPONSIBILITIES * Battlespace & Scenario Creation: Designing detailed, dynamic virtual environments using the VBS4 Editor and VBS Geo, incorporating both static and moving targets and realistic operational conditions. * Stakeholder Consultation & Requirements Gathering: Proactively collaborating with customers and internal project teams to assess training needs (e.g., proactive alignment on system capabilities) and translating rough operational briefs into targeted mission profiles. * Cross-Project System Integration: Coordinating with different project teams to correctly embed and configure proprietary unmanned vehicles (UVs) and loitering munitions (LMs) into tactical scenarios. * Progressive Training Curriculum Design: Developing structured, multi-stage training missions that build upon each other conceptually, allowing operators to master specific systems from baseline operation to advanced edge-case handling. * Mission Testing & Training Support: Extensively playtesting and validating created scenarios to ensure stability and tactical realism, while providing hands-on support during active live training sessions. QUALIFICATIONS * 3-5 years experience in VBS4/Arma mission design — hands‑on scenario creation, mission design, and mission scripting within VBS4 or Arma 3, including building tactical training flows and scenario logic. * Strong mission‑flow logic — clear understanding of trigger conditions, event chains, and tactical scenario scripting; no C++ required, but deep familiarity with sandbox engine logic and behaviour trees. * Military operations knowledge — solid grasp of tactics, doctrinal procedures, and operational decision‑making to ensure realistic scenario behaviour and training value. NICE TO HAVE * Advanced VBS Geo / OneArc tools — proficiency in VBS Geo or other OneArc terrain‑modification tools for building, editing, and optimizing training environments. * Understanding of simulation constraints — awareness of performance, fidelity, and “soldier‑proof” design principles when building training scenarios. * Cross‑functional collaboration — ability to translate customer requirements into mission logic and work closely with engineers, operators, and product teams.
