About the Position

Our client is a defense holding scaling into a management structure with verticals in optics, communications, and strike systems (Deep Strike). The company develops and mass-produces a line of UAVs – ranging from reconnaissance drones to long-range solutions that change the situation in the field every day.

We are looking for a leader who will be responsible for defining and executing a unified product strategy across the group of companies, ensuring the transition from R&D development to serial production and the scaling of products.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and implement a unified product strategy across all companies and product lines within the group, ensuring alignment between key verticals (optics, communications, electronics, UAV systems).
  • Ensure the transition of products from the R&D stage to serial production and their scaling to thousands of units.
  • Coordinate collaboration between R&D centers and production sites to ensure a smooth transition from development to serial manufacturing and the implementation of product changes.
  • Manage the full product portfolio lifecycle across the group of companies - from concept to serial production and ongoing support.
  • Coordinate the work of product teams and technical leads across different companies within the group.
  • Ensure alignment between product teams and the Head of Experience Officer to incorporate field feedback into future product iterations.
  • Participate in decisions regarding the inclusion of new products and technologies in the group portfolio based on market needs, battlefield feedback, and strategic priorities.
  • Report to the group leadership on the status of product initiatives, key metrics, and development outlook.
  • Align product roadmaps with production capabilities, procurement processes, and supply chain constraints.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in a CPO or Product Director position in complex Hardware + Software projects (MilTech or the aerospace sector).
  • Deep understanding of the production lifecycle of high–tech products.
  • Ability to transform chaotic market (front–line) requests into clear technical tasks and product backlogs.
  • Experience in scaling products from the R&D stage to serial production (1,000+ units).
  • English – B2+ (for working with international suppliers and technical documentation).

We Offer

  • Official employment and military reservation from day one (under a Diia City contract)
  • Competitive salary corresponding to the level of responsibility and complexity of tasks.
  • Opportunity to manage a portfolio of dozens of innovative products within a single holding.
  • Autonomy in making product decisions and the absence of bureaucratic micromanagement.
  • 24 days of annual leave, sick leave compensation, corporate English classes, and 7 additional days off per year.
