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’re 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.

securing new business opportunities in the defence sector outside of Europe.

You will work at the intersection between growth, strategic partnerships and market expansion, working with the bid, engineering,

legal, finance and export control functions to ensure contract award.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Growth: Opportunity identification, qualification and capture; including shaping longer-term opportunities, developing win

strategies, and supporting the proposal processes to secure contracts.

Strategy: Support the development and implementation of the market entry strategies for all International markets conducted via

a multi-channel strategy.

Internal Engagement: Collaborate with internal teams to align solutions and proposals with customer needs and requirements.

Stakeholder Management: Build and maintain strong relationships with key stakeholders from Government, Ministries of Defence,

Procurement bodies, Innovation agencies and Industry.

Bids & Proposals: Develop compelling bids and proposals, ensuring alignment with customer priorities and compliance with

defence procurement processes.

External Engagement & Events: Represent STARK at international industry events, trade shows, and client meetings to promote our

solutions and build brand recognition.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for a high-energy professional, who combines a “boots on the ground” mindset and a willingness to take real

ownership. Ideally this is someone that wants to grow and take on more responsibility.

Past experience in sales, business development or strategy roles or a similar role within the defence industry or adjacent

sectors.

Familiarity with Shipley Method or Sales best practice within Defence.

Experience working with and an understanding of government procurement processes.

Understanding of the political and geopolitical environment internationally.

Strong communication and collaboration skills to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team environment. You must be able to

interface effectively with both internal teams and external stakeholders and have the ability to build trusted relationships

throughout.

Adaptability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic startup environment with a strong drive for innovation and continuous

improvement. We want someone who will challenge the status quo to find more efficient ways of working without compromising

quality.

Ideally eligible to obtain and maintain Security Clearance.

Comfortable with international travel.

A willingness to learn and grow with the company, with a desire to progress over time.
