Head of Communications & Marketing (m/f/d)

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!
