Project Manager (m/f/d)

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.

Modern conflicts have made one thing clear: drones are changing the face of warfare. From critical infrastructure to frontline defence, the threats are escalating and current solutions are falling behind: Our mission is to change that effectively.

Alpine Eagle is more than a defence company - it's a call to action. With an international team of experts, a strong financial foundation, and a bold vision for the future, we’re looking for people who want to help shape the next generation of aerial security systems and build something that truly matters.

🎯 How you will make an impact:

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.

This role demands a strong personality , a resilient mindset , and the ability to negotiate under pressure while keeping strategic objectives in focus. If you thrive in high-stakes environments and can balance structure with agility , you’ll feel at home here.

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.

✅ What you need to be successful:

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.

At Alpine Eagle, you're not just taking a job - you're joining a mission.

We are building a team of exceptional people who are mission-driven, working on breakthrough technology with real-world impact.
