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.
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.
We are looking for an exceptionally organised, discreet and experienced Executive Assistant to become the operational backbone of
our CEO Office. You will work closely with the Chief of Staff.
You will be responsible for ensuring that the CEO and senior leadership team can operate at maximum effectiveness in an extremely
fast-paced, international environment.
What success looks like
The CEO Office runs seamlessly. Meetings are prepared, travel works flawlessly, follow-ups happen automatically and senior leaders
can focus entirely on decisions rather than administration.
