Strategic Development Manager (f/m/d)

TYTAN Technologies The PACE is fast. The expectations are high. The contribution matters. Working at TYTAN is more than a job, this is a mission. We thrive, think big, and hold ourselves to the highest standard. Our mission and values guide everything we do, and we're looking for people who thrive on ownership, embrace challenges, and are energized by meaningful work. If you're motivated by impact and thrive in dynamic environments, you'll fit right in. At TYTAN , we aim to set a global standard in autonomous air defense with AI-driven, cost-efficient systems that counter unmanned aerial threats at scale. We protect people. We protect critical infrastructure. We protect Europe’s sovereignty. We are seeking a Strategic Development Manager to shape how and where TYTAN grows. This is not a quota-carrying sales role- it sits upstream of business development and owns the strategy behind our expansion: which markets to enter, which partnerships and acquisitions create long-term value, and how we position ahead of demand rather than reacting to it.

Build quantified business cases and help structure complex, multi-year commercial and framework agreements across engineering, finance, and legal. Act as a thought partner to leadership, representing the growth agenda cross-functionally and externally. 3–6 years in strategy consulting, corporate development, investment (private equity / venture capital / banking), or a strategic commercial role - ideally with exposure to defense, aerospace, or deep tech. A strong analytical and financial toolkit: business-case development, financial modelling, and market analysis. A demonstrable track record of turning ambiguous, complex problems into clear strategy and executed outcomes. High ownership and initiative. Comfortable with ambiguity and capable of succeeding in a fast-paced, dynamic, and creative environment. Confident advising and interfacing with executive leadership and senior external stakeholders.
