About Alta Ares
Alta Ares is an air defense Neoprime.
We build AI-guided interceptors to counter drones and cruise missiles, along with the software platform that powers them.
Our customers are NATO-aligned militaries and defense institutions, and our systems are regularly deployed during live exercises and operational demonstrations across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
Founded in 2024, we have grown to 90 people, raised over $60M, and increased revenue 40× this year.
We are now entering a new phase of international expansion, industrial scaling, fundraising, and product development.
Role & Mission
This VIE is Alta Ares' commercial entry point in Germany — the largest defence market in Europe and one undergoing the most significant defence industrial expansion since reunification.
Based in Munich, at the heart of Germany's defence industrial ecosystem (Rheinmetall, Hensoldt, KNDS, ESG, MTU), you will support and drive Alta Ares' early-stage commercial development with German primes and institutional contacts.
You will map the ecosystem, build first-contact relationships, and support the Account Manager Germany in converting opportunities into pipeline.
Germany's Zeitenwende is real, budgets are moving fast, and the demand for AI and C-UAS capabilities is accelerating.
You will be on the ground at the right moment.

- Track German defence policy, Bundeswehr procurement priorities, and Zeitenwende investment programmes
- Produce regular market intelligence reports for the Account Manager Germany and Paris leadership team

- Germany–Paris Coordination
