STARK is a new kind of defence technology company revolutionising 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
— providing operators with a decisive edge in 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.
The Operations Excellence team sits within the COO organization and serves as a strategic partner to managers, team leads, and
colleagues across Stark. By delivering data-driven insights, leading critical projects, and driving continuous process
improvement, we help the organization operate more efficiently, scale effectively, and achieve its goals faster.
As an individual contributor, you will take end-to-end ownership of complex initiatives with significant business impact. Working
closely with cross-functional stakeholders, you will have the opportunity to influence key decisions, shape core operating
processes, and contribute directly to the success of one of Europe’s fastest-growing unicorns.
As OPA Lead, you own the quantitative backbone of operations. You design and run the S&OP process, define the KPI framework, and
produce WBR/MBR data packs that give leadership a reliable, accurate picture of the business. You build the planning rhythm from
scratch and develop the team beneath you.
