About the Role

As Director Minerva Frontline, you will be the holistic Program Owner and external face of STARK’s customer-facing software and mission control suite. You will lead departments across Command & Control (C2) Applications, Ground Control Stations, and Simulation, unifying their efforts into one cohesive, battle-tested product experience. You will set the visionary product roadmap internally while representing our capabilities externally to military stakeholders, procurement agencies, and partners across NATO nations.

Responsibilities

Own the end-to-end Minerva Frontline program, taking full accountability for its strategic roadmap, program budget, commercial targets, and cross-functional delivery across all three product lines.
Lead, mentor, and empower three direct reports and scale the broader multi-disciplinary organization across Berlin and Munich.
Define and communicate a compelling product vision internally, aligning engineering and UX teams around operator needs.
Serve as the primary external representative for Minerva Frontline, pitching and demonstrating our C2, GCS, and simulation capabilities to military end-users, defence ministries, and procurement bodies.
Drive seamless system interoperability, ensuring Minerva Frontline connects effortlessly with STARK’s physical unmanned platforms, third-party assets, and sovereign Battle Management Systems.
Translate complex battlefield and customer requirements into structured, actionable engineering priorities, balancing rapid prototyping with mission-critical reliability and safety.
Establish and scale a lean Program Management Office (PMO) over time to professionalize program tracking, release planning, and cross-entity alignment.
Collaborate closely with Commercial, Marketing, and Physical Platform Leads to shape go-to-market materials, pricing models, and integrated system demonstrations.

Requirements

Proven senior leadership and program ownership experience managing complex, multi-team software or cyber-physical product organizations, including responsibility for roadmaps, budgets, and delivery.
Strong technical background in building mission-critical software suites, ideally combining software engineering leadership with hardware-in-the-loop, robotics, C2 systems, or ground control interfaces.
Credibility and domain expertise in the defence or aerospace sector, with the ability to speak at eye level with military decision-makers, operators, and technical engineers alike.
Exceptional internal and external communication skills — you know how to inspire engineering teams with a crisp vision and persuasively represent complex technical products to B2G (Business-to-Government) customers.
High organizational rigor and an owner’s mindset, capable of turning startup ambiguity into clear structure and driving execution under high tempo.
Willingness to travel regularly between our hubs in Berlin and Munich as well as to customer sites, military bases, and test ranges across Europe.
Fluency in English (written and spoken) is mandatory.
Candidates must be eligible to obtain and maintain the appropriate security clearance required for this position.
