About the role
Most careers today are optimized for comfort. We are interested in people optimized for the trajectory.
Before you read further: this is a working role, not a title to collect. "Executive Officer" here means the second pair of hands behind the Chief Business & Brand Officer — the person who drafts, chases, fixes, briefs, and owns the unglamorous problems nobody else has time for. Roughly 80% of it is doing the work yourself, not having other people do it for you. If proximity to power interests you more than responsibility, close this tab.
Destinus is a European defence manufacturer building scalable strike and air-defence systems for European and allied armed forces. At Destinus, engineering, autonomy, industrial scale, and European security collide. The pace is fast, the stakes are real, and nobody is here to manage your career for you.
We are looking for an Executive Officer who is not here for the title.
This is not an assistant role. This is not calendar management with better branding. This is not corporate coordination theatre.
This is an operator role.
You will work directly with the Chief Business & Brand Officer across business development, partnerships, communications, external positioning, strategic projects, events, research, and problem-solving.
Your mission is simple:
Create leverage. Remove friction. Help important things move faster.
One week, you may prepare a strategic briefing before a government meeting. The next, you may help coordinate a partnership discussion, support a media response, shape external communication, research a new market, prepare an event, or solve an operational problem that nobody else has time to own.
This role is for someone who wants to become unusually capable by taking responsibility for difficult problems that do not fit neatly into a job description.
What You´ll Do
- Own and drive strategic projects across business, brand, communications, partnerships, and external positioning
- Support business development initiatives, customer discussions, partner engagement, and market research
- Prepare briefings, memos, presentations, talking points, and follow-ups for senior-level meetings
- Help turn complex technical, commercial, and geopolitical information into clear decisions and communication
- Coordinate high-priority work across teams, countries, and functions
- Identify problems early and push solutions to completion
- Represent the office in selected meetings and ensure actions actually happen
- Help prepare events, press moments, external engagements, and stakeholder interactions
- Build structure where there is chaos, without waiting for someone else to invent the process
- Act as a force multiplier for the Chief Business & Brand Officer
