Commercial Director

Helsing is a defence AI company. Our mission is to protect our democracies. We aim to achieve technological leadership, so that open societies can continue to make sovereign decisions and control their ethical standards.

As democracies, we believe we have a special responsibility to be thoughtful about the development and deployment of powerful technologies like AI. We take this responsibility seriously.

We are an ambitious and committed team of engineers, AI specialists and customer-facing programme managers. We are looking for mission-driven people to join our European teams – and apply their skills to solve the most complex and impactful problems. We embrace an open and transparent culture that welcomes healthy debates on the use of technology in defence, its benefits, and its ethical implications.

Helsing is seeking a senior commercial leader to devise and implement a strategic engagement framework with the National Armaments Director Group and DE&S. You will draw on a deep stakeholder network and a track record of delivering major defence programmes, aligning incentives between industry and government. With broad scope and responsibility, you will bridge the cultures of defence procurement and a fast-moving technology company, bringing credibility to both environments and translating complex procurement landscapes into clear, actionable strategies that advance Helsing's mission.

The day-to-day

• Devise and implement a comprehensive engagement strategy with the National Armaments Director Group and DE&S, creating the conditions for Helsing to secure major UK defence programmes

• Build and activate a senior network across UK and allied defence procurement organisations, using those relationships to align requirements, timelines, and procurement structures at the earliest possible stage
