About the company
Our client is a defense technology startup that designs and manufactures products that work in real combat conditions.
The team brings together engineers, developers, and manufacturing, focusing on practical results – not on concepts, but on working solutions in the field.
About the role
We are looking for a person who will become the center of execution in the company – someone who ensures the movement of tasks from idea to result.
This is not the classic role of a Product Manager or an observer.
This is the role of a person who drives execution, makes decisions, and brings tasks to fruition.
What will you do?
- Coordinate field testing of products (proving grounds close to combat conditions)
- Organize and support demonstrations for military units, partners and integrators
- Interact with engineering and production teams, remove blockers, and accelerate execution
- Ensure deadlines are met and actual progress on tasks is made
- Travel to frontline cities to conduct demos and collect feedback
- Synchronize teams and maintain a holistic picture across projects
- Work directly with the CEO on key tasks and priorities
Who are we looking for?
- Technical or strong operational background (engineering, defence, hardware, operations, consulting)
- Experience in a military or related environment is a significant advantage
- Experience with hardware products / testing / implementation is a big plus
- High internal motivation and responsibility for results
- Ability to work under pressure, uncertainty, and rapidly changing priorities
- Strong communication skills – comfortable interacting with both engineers and military/partners
- Structural thinking and ability to make quick decisions
- Having your own car and willingness to travel regularly
Conditions
- Location: Kyiv, office format
- Regular trips: training grounds, frontline cities
- Official employment
- Booking
- Irregular schedule is part of the reality of the role
- Intensive work in an environment close to real operations
Why this is worth your attention
This is a role with direct impact on the product and its application in real-world conditions.
You won’t be involved in formal processes or “managing issues in Jira.”
You will be responsible for making sure the product actually works, is tested, and reaches the end user.
