Project Manager (m/f/d)
Alpine Eagle GmbHKarlsruhe, Baden-Württemberg, Germany · Posted 10 months agoDescription
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.
