Business Development Director, Defence
Your next mission: turn years of cross-domain defence experience into strategic business impact. Step into a role where your military and leadership experience, strategic insight and trusted relationships across Danish Defence become your strongest assets in shaping long-term partnerships and opportunities.
The job: Lead Systematic’s strategic growth in the Danish defence market
As Business Development Director, your primary focus is the Danish market – you are responsible for the overall growth strategy and most senior customer relationships within Danish Defence and government. As the right candidate, your credibility and network also make you a driving force when we push into other markets. You set the direction for how Systematic pursues major, cross-domain and multi-domain opportunities for SitaWare and IRIS, working in close partnership with the VP Sales Nordics and your Nordics market colleagues.

As Business Development Director, you will add a senior layer of defence expertise, credibility and strategic perspective, helping to strengthen and shape strategic direction for the region while your colleagues continue to lead their respective markets and domains with a high degree of autonomy.
Working alongside experienced business development professionals, you will have direct access to senior leaders responsible for Systematic’s Defence business and collaborate closely with stakeholders across the organisation.
The work you do will have real-world impact. Systematic’s solutions are used operationally by armed forces in real environments, in the operational domains and across domains at all levels – this is not transactional or generic…
