Director Strategic Solutions (m/w/d)

About 3YOURMIND

3YOURMIND is a deep tech company at the intersection of software, manufacturing, and defense. Our solutions enable the decentralized production of critical parts using technologies such as 3D printing and CNC machining, directly where they are needed. Our software connects digital inventories, production systems, and logistics workflows, enabling parts to be identified, produced, and deployed within hours rather than weeks. By digitizing supply chains and enabling production close to the point of use, we help build more resilient, adaptive, and faster innovation cycles - from the battlefield to industrial applications.

We are now entering the next phase: evolving from a software provider into a full solution and ecosystem player across hardware, software, and manufacturing networks.

3. Whole Product Strategy & Ecosystem Development
