Chief of Staff (m/w/d)

Alpine Eagle is building the future of counter-drone defence. We are a fast-growing, international deep-tech company operating at the intersection of aerospace engineering, defence systems, and machine learning. Our mission is to create the world’s first swarm-based, airborne counter-drone system.

We’re looking for a Chief of Staff to be the CEO’s trusted partner across strategy and operations, driving high-impact strategic and operational initiatives across our defence drone-tech startup.

How you will make an impact

• Drive high-priority strategic and operational projects directly with the founder and CEO, from planning through execution.
• Prepare materials for investors, partners, and government stakeholders, including briefs, analyses, and funding-related documents.
• Conduct market, competitor, and regulatory research within the defence, aerospace, and dual-use technology sectors.
• Support fundraising activities by coordinating documents, financial models, and timelines.
• Coordinate cross-team communication and ensure smooth execution between engineering, operations, and external partners.
• Work closely with founders on strategic decision-making, data-driven prioritization, and KPI tracking.
• Assist in preparing pitches, demos, and presentations for customers in defence, security, and government agencies.
• Manage special projects that require technical curiosity, operational discipline, and discretion.

What you need to be successful

• Fluency in German and English.
• Min. 3 years of experience in a start-up tech company, defence-consulting, VC, or a similarly fast-paced environment.
• Experience with financial analysis, fundraising support, or investor materials is a strong plus.
• Strong interest and prior experience in defence, security, aerospace, robotics, or dual-use technologies.
• Ability to navigate sensitive or confidential information with absolute professionalism.
• Highly structured working style, strong analytical and problem-solving skills, and an ability to “figure things out” without perfect guidance.
• Comfortable working in an early-stage environment with shifting priorities and hands-on tasks.
• Excellent communication skills internally and externally.

At Alpine Eagle, you're not just taking a job - you're joining a mission.
