Project Manager, MilTech

At Intelic, we build software for uncrewed systems in the defence sector. We are based in Amsterdam, with a second office in Kyiv. Our main product is Nexus, a command-and-control (C2) platform for uncrewed systems used by Ukrainian brigades every day.

Why the role exists

We are looking for a Project Manager to own our projects end to end: unit deployments, integrations, pilots, field trials and partner programmes. It is a role for someone who can enter a new project quickly, understand the technology and the military context, bring the right people together (brigades, manufacturers, partners, engineers) and drive it to a clear outcome.

What you will do

• Lead projects from first request to result: unit deployments, hardware and software integrations, pilots and field trials, partner and grant-funded programmes.

• Turn goals into a clear scope, milestones, owners and deadlines, and keep the plan up to date as priorities change.

• Track status, risks and dependencies, escalate early and push for decisions when priorities conflict.

• Build and keep working relationships with brigades and units, drone and payload manufacturers, integration partners and government stakeholders.

• Be the single point of contact for your projects: run syncs, record decisions and follow up until things are done.

• Introduce simple, lightweight processes that help a small, fast team, not slow it down.
  

You will thrive here if

• You have 3+ years of experience managing technical projects in IT (software, SaaS, integrations) or in MilTech and defence.

• You have a technical background: you understand how software products, APIs, networks and hardware fit together, can read a spec and talk to engineers in their language. Coding is not required.

• You understand the MilTech domain: drones and UxV, C2 and situational awareness, how military units are organised and how they adopt new technology.

• You are comfortable with commanders, engineers, manufacturers and executives alike, and can find the right person and get the information needed for a decision.

• You learn fast and get into the details of a new project and its technology within days, not weeks.

• You are structured and reliable: clear task wording, written decisions, follow-through.

• You speak Ukrainian at native level and English at B2 or higher (daily work with HQ in the Netherlands).

• You are confident with Jira or Linear, Notion or Confluence, Google Workspace and Slack.
