## Job description

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.

By combining cutting-edge AI with aerospace-grade engineering, we’re giving democracies and institutions committed to the rule of law the technological edge they need to protect themselves in the 21st century.

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.

We want to reinforce a culture where great ideas can flourish, and great people collaborate. Help us growing and succeeding!

🎯 How you will make an impact:

As our Head of Communications & Marketing, you will oversee strategic communications and PR initiatives, shaping our company's external image and ensuring alignment with our brand values and business goals. You will manage relationships with external agencies and stakeholders, lead media engagement strategies, and maintain our public-facing presence across various platforms.

- Develop and execute comprehensive media and communication strategies, including targeted media appearances, interviews, press releases, and articles.
- Oversee and optimize the company’s presence across social media platforms, with a particular focus on professional networks like LinkedIn.
- Coordinate with external PR, creative, and marketing agencies, ensuring alignment on goals, messaging, and scheduling.
- Proactively identify opportunities and channels to enhance our external communications, brand reputation, and audience reach.
- Supervise the creation and management of all visual and written external content, ensuring consistency and excellence (e.g., graphics, videos, images, website design and content).
- Monitor and manage public perception of the company, responding effectively to emerging issues or crises.

- Coordinate participation in trade shows, conferences, industry events, and customer-facing activities

- Collaborate closely with leadership, business development, engineering, and product teams to communicate company capabilities, innovations, and milestones effectively

- Evaluate and report on the effectiveness of external communication strategies, adjusting tactics as needed.

✅ What you need to be successful:

- Proven experience (4+ years) in external communications, PR, media management in a related field to ours.
- Demonstrated ability to develop and execute successful media campaigns and public relations strategies.
- Excellent relationship management skills with a proven track record of managing external partners and agencies.
- Strong understanding of branding, digital content strategies, social media management, and online presence enhancement.
- Exceptional communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to effectively engage diverse audiences.
- Business-fluent German and English language skills.
- Experience in crisis communication and reputation management.
- Strategic thinker with strong planning, organization, and analytical abilities.
- An understanding of current trends in digital media and communications.
- A proactive approach to identifying innovative opportunities for enhancing company visibility and reputation.
- Ability to align communications strategy with overall business objectives and market positioning.

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.

Don’t hesitate. Apply now and become part of something bigger.

## About Alpine Eagle GmbH

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Alpine Eagle builds airborne counter-unmanned aircraft systems (c-UAS) to detect and intercept hostile drones at scale.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage) – raised €10.25 M seed round in Q1 2025
- **Headquarters**: Munich, Germany (with offices in Karlsruhe and London)
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Jan-Hendrik Boelens (Co-Founder & CEO) and Timo Breuer (Co-Founder); additional founding team members include Jamie Bennett and other aerospace engineers.

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Defence technology / Counter-UAS (counter-drone systems)
- **Target customers**: B2B / B2G – military and security forces, government agencies, and allied defence partners.
- **Mission purpose**: “Restoring control of low-altitude airspace” by providing mobile, persistent, and cost-effective airborne defence against autonomous drone threats.

## Products & Services
- **Sentinel**: An airborne c-UAS system that integrates multi-sensor detection (radar, EO/IR), fire control, and kinetic interception into a single networked platform. Sentinel is the world’s first air-to-air counter-drone system, designed to operate as a closed sensor-to-shooter loop. The system can be deployed as a swarm or as a single unit and is terrain-independent. *Type: Hardware + Software (SaaS-like mission management).*
- **Distributed sensor network** (patent filed Feb 2025): A swarm of unmanned autonomous vehicles that implements a distributed sensor network for wide-area surveillance and threat identification.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation / Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed.
- **Key Metric**: Total funding – USD 10.96 M (€10.25 M) as of April 2025.
- **Notable Investors**: IQ Capital (lead), HCVC, General Catalyst, High-Tech Gruenderfonds, Expeditions Fund, and 3 other undisclosed investors.
- **Growth Signals**:
  - 125% headcount growth (YoY, from ~12 to 27 employees) [linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com/company/alpineeagle/)
  - Deployed Sentinel with Ukrainian Armed Forces in active combat environments (Q2 2025) [alpineeagle.com](https://alpineeagle.com/about-us/)
  - First systems delivered to Bundeswehr for operational trials (2024)
  - Expanded operations to the UK and Netherlands in 2025
  - 15 active job postings and a 66.7% YoY increase in job postings

## Competitive Advantages
- **Airborne approach** – Unlike ground-based systems, Alpine Eagle’s air-to-air interceptors can detect and engage drones at long range (beyond 5 km), closing the gap that conventional systems leave open.
- **Cost efficiency** – Significantly lower per‑intercept cost compared to high-end ground-based systems, making swarm‑scale deployment affordable.
- **Mobility & persistence** – Systems are forward-deployable, rapidly relocatable, and can sustain 24/7 operations.
- **Proven in combat** – Operational validation with Ukrainian forces provides real‑world credibility.
- **Integrated tech stack** – In‑house expertise in machine learning, sensor fusion, radar, and aeronautical engineering.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling from prototype to production** – Transitioning from trial deployments to mass‑production for European and allied militaries.
- **Geographic expansion** – Building commercial teams in Poland, UK, and other Eastern European markets.
- **Deepening autonomy** – Enhancing computer vision, autonomous swarm coordination, and closed-loop mission management.
- **Partnerships** – Working closely with NATO and allied defence procurement agencies.

## Why Work Here
- **Cutting‑edge mission** – Engineers work on real‑world autonomous systems that are deployed in live defence operations.
- **High growth trajectory** – The team doubled in 12 months; new hires will shape the company’s culture and technical direction.
- **Deep tech culture** – Teams are split across machine learning, sensor fusion, flight physics, and radar engineering; strong background from companies like Volocopter, Quantum Systems, Airbus, and Fraunhofer.
- **Flexible locations** – Offices in Munich and Karlsruhe (Germany) and a growing presence in London. Roles are primarily on‑site, but some hybrid working is possible.
- **Notable perks** – Not disclosed, but the environment emphasises “passion and drive” and the chance to build a radically different defence capability from the ground up.
