Senior Programme Manager - International Business Development Air

Helsing is a defence AI company. Our mission is to protect our democracies. We aim to achieve technological leadership, so that open societies can continue to make sovereign decisions and control their ethical standards.

As democracies, we believe we have a special responsibility to be thoughtful about the development and deployment of powerful technologies like AI. We take this responsibility seriously.

We are an ambitious and committed team of engineers, AI specialists and customer-facing programme managers. We are looking for mission-driven people to join our European teams – and apply their skills to solve the most complex and impactful problems. We embrace an open and transparent culture that welcomes healthy debates on the use of technology in defence, its benefits, and its ethical implications.

As Senior Programme Manager, you will guide the international roll-out of one of our flagship air products across European markets. You will coordinate the campaign end to end, bringing together customers, partners and senior stakeholders inside Helsing around a shared roadmap. Day to day, you will shape the materials that carry our product story, from customer presentations to white papers and brochures, and make sure every meeting moves the campaign forward.
