Each platform is deployable on its own, and stronger as part of the system. Its product lines include the MAGURA family of uncrewed surface vessels, the NEMESIS family of strike platforms, the LIUT family of ground robotic platforms, and counter-UAS systems.\nAbout the role\nUforce is scaling quickly, and our order book is beginning to outgrow site-by-site planning. We are hiring a Global Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) / Demand Planning Manager to own the link between what we expect to sell and what our production network can build. This is a global role by design: rather than sitting inside any one facility, you will hold the bird's-eye view across our entire network - our Portugal operations, our Poole location, and the US sites we are building out - so that demand is matched to capacity wherever it makes the most sense.\nWhat you'll do\nYou will own the bookings forecast on a regular cadence (initially weekly), looking out over the next several months to a quarter. You'll translate that forecast into a granular view of expected units - by platform, by drone/vessel type, and down to the configuration level - and keep it current as deals progress, slip, or change scope. You'll work closely with Sales to pressure-test the pipeline and with Finance and leadership to make sure everyone is operating from one shared number.\nWith that forecast in hand, you will map incoming demand against available capacity at each site and get ahead of it. For example, if the forecast shows an order for 12 boats landing in the next two months, you'll be the one flagging it early, determining where it should be built, and working with the Portugal team (or whichever site is best placed) to plan materials, labor, and schedule well before the PO arrives. You'll identify capacity gaps and bottlenecks across the network, recommend where to load or shift work between sites, and help inform where and when we need to add capacity as the US footprint grows.\nOver time, you'll build the S&OP process itself: the regular forecast and capacity review rhythm, the planning tools and dashboards that support it, and the metrics (forecast accuracy, capacity utilization, on-time delivery) that tell us whether it is working.\nWhat we're looking for\nWe're looking for someone with experience in demand planning, S&OP, or production planning at a hardware or manufacturing company, ideally one that scaled quickly across multiple sites. You're comfortable moving between a sales pipeline and a factory floor schedule, you're strong with data and forecasting models, and you can turn an uncertain forecast into clear, early decisions that site teams can act on. You communicate well across functions and time zones, and you're energized by building a process from the ground up rather than inheriting one. Experience in high-growth environments (automotive, aerospace, defense, robotics, or similar) is a strong plus, as is comfort with travel between our sites.\nThe nature of combat has changed.\nTomorrow’s battlefield success depends on autonomy, speed, and adaptability.\nAnd UFORCE is ready.\nAre You?","description_format":"text","description_chars":3434,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Germany","iso":"DE","kind":"region"},{"name":"France","iso":"FR","kind":"region"},{"name":"United
