Business Development Manager - Defense (f/m/d)

TYTAN Technologies

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 European sovereignty.

Now, we are looking for a new team member who is eager to make a real difference. TYTAN’s Business Development (BD) team drives our commercial growth. Our mission is to identify, shape, and capture opportunities that strengthen TYTAN’s position in autonomous air defense. This requires a deep understanding of user needs, gaps in current systems, and how TYTAN’s AI-enabled capabilities deliver real tactical advantage.

As Business Development Manager, you will represent TYTAN externally and champion the mission internally. We’re looking for a strategic hunter who knows that success in defense depends on the right allies: someone who can shape requirements, navigate “Big Defense,” and secure the partnerships that enable success at scale.
