Build direct relationships with key decision-makers inside European defence ministries, procurement agencies, and allied military commands.
Lead the development of tailored proposals, capability briefings, and RFP responses for European defence customers.
Navigate the regulatory and compliance landscape of European defence sales, including export control requirements and country-specific procurement rules.
Work closely with our engineering and product teams to ensure our solutions are positioned accurately and competitively in each target market.
Represent North Vector Dynamics at European defence exhibitions, industry events, and government forums.
Surface market intelligence on competitor activity, procurement cycles, and emerging opportunities.
Step into whatever the mission demands in a startup environment.

Established relationships within the European defence and security ecosystem, with governments, military organisations, or defence prime contractors.
Deep familiarity with European defence procurement processes, including NATO frameworks and EU defence initiatives.
A hunter’s instinct, energized by building pipelines from scratch and navigating long, relationship-driven sales cycles.
Strong communication and presentation skills to brief senior military officers and ministry officials.
Based in Europe with the ability to travel regularly across the region.
Comfort with ambiguity and a bias for action.

Proficiency in one or more European languages (German, French, or Polish preferred).
Familiarity with export control regulations relevant to defence sales in Europe, including ITAR/EAR.
Experience working in a startup, scale-up, or emerging defence technology company.
Post-secondary education in international business, political science, engineering, or a related field.
