Project Manager (m/f/d)

About the Position

At Alpine Eagle, we are building the future of counter-drone defence. As a fast-growing and internationally successful deep tech company, we specialise in aerospace engineering, defence systems, and machine learning - developing the world’s first swarm-based, airborne counter-drone system.

We’re looking for an assertive and results-driven Project Manager to lead complex engineering projects from concept to delivery. You will oversee timelines, budgets, and stakeholder alignment - ensuring mission-critical solutions are executed with precision and speed.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end project management across cross-functional teams (engineering, procurement, testing, and customer success).
• Manage multiple defence-related programs, ensuring compliance with contractual, technical, and security requirements.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for military and government clients as well as our product development teams - maintaining trust, accountability, and transparent communication.
• Oversee project timelines, milestones, and budgets; anticipate risks and apply corrective actions early.
• Drive negotiations with suppliers, subcontractors, and partners to secure optimal terms and maintain project momentum.
• Prepare detailed project documentation, reports, and presentations for internal and external stakeholders.
• Ensure full adherence to defense standards, export control, and security protocols.

Requirements

• Proven track record (5+ years) in project management, ideally within the defence sector.
• Solid experience in claim management.
• Exceptional leadership, communication, and conflict-resolution skills.
• A strategic thinker who maintains authority in negotiations.
• Solid understanding of technical program delivery.
• Fluent in English and German.
• PMP or similar project management certification is a plus, but real-world experience in defence operations is valued most.

We Offer

• Join a mission-driven team working on breakthrough technology with real-world impact.
• Opportunity to shape the next generation of aerial security systems.
• Competitive salary and benefits.
