• Collaborate closely with the technical team to align customer insights with product development

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience in business development or commercialization, ideally within B2B or high-tech industries

• Experience in Commercial and Sales activities with a strong focus on achieving business growth

• Understanding of the space and defense sectors; prior experience with related clients is a strong plus

• Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to create processes from scratch and operate independently

• Strong communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills

• Ability to translate complex technology into clear commercial value
