About the role

Who we are

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.

The role

As Associate Programme Manager for Helsing's Land domain, you take ownership of broadly defined tasks within a programme, managing your workstream to completion with a high degree of independence. You build initial working-level relationships with customers within your area of responsibility and develop an internal network that allows you to draw on the right capabilities when needed. You apply structured, best-in-class project management approaches to track progress, surface issues and keep delivery on schedule, contributing meaningfully to some of Europe's most consequential defence technology programmes.

The day-to-day

  • Take ownership of a defined set of programme tasks within the Land domain, managing your workstream from planning through to delivery and producing high-quality outputs with limited oversight
  • Build and maintain working-level relationships with customers within your area of responsibility, supporting stakeholder interactions and ensuring actions from meetings are tracked and followed through
  • Develop and maintain programme tracking tools and risk registers, providing clear and timely status updates to programme leadership and flagging issues at the earliest opportunity
  • Support cross-functional coordination across internal teams, ensuring the right capabilities are available within your workstream and that dependencies are identified and resolved proactively
  • Contribute to the continuous improvement of Helsing's programme management practice by applying structured approaches and translating lessons learned into repeatable processes
