THE ORGANISATION
A specialist government affairs and PR consultancy working exclusively within the emerging defence technology sector. Founded in 2024, the team operates as the outsourced affairs function for a small number of high-growth defence tech clients — covering government relations, public affairs, and media strategy. The business is expanding into Germany and is looking for a senior-level independent to help establish and grow that presence.
THE OPPORTUNITY
This is a founding role for the German market. You will be the on-the-ground lead for government and public affairs activity across Berlin and Munich, working closely with the agency's leadership team on strategy. The initial scope centres on one established client — a fast-growing, well-funded European defence tech company building out a German manufacturing presence — with additional client work anticipated as the office develops.
WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
LEVEL
Open — mid to senior level considered. Attitude, drive, and a willingness to do the full range of work matter more than title. The right person will relish building something from the ground up.
POTENTIAL TO GROW
As the client base expands, there is a genuine path for this role to become a full-time, permanent position heading up the German office. This is an early-stage opportunity with real upside for the right person.
