Business Development Lead – Radio Communications, Radar & Fire-Control Systems

Onodrim is building Europe's largest defence and industrial platform. We acquire specialist manufacturers in critical defence and dual-use supply chains, then invest behind their growth with capital, technology and operating know-how.

Communications and radar are the areas where we are building real depth – resilient tactical networks, software-defined and commercial-silicon radios, low-cost sensing radar for counter-UAS and platform protection, and the companies that make them. The companies we buy in this space are usually excellent at what they build and under-invested in selling it: a few long-standing customers, a reputation inside a narrow circle, and no one whose job it is to find the next programme. The Business Development Lead for Radio Communications, Radar and Fire-Control Systems changes that. You'll own top-line growth for our portfolio companies in this domain: work out where the demand is, get in front of the people who control it, and bring back signed business.

This is a sales role, and a self-directed one. You'll come with your own view on how to grow the business and the drive to go and test it – with ministries and procurement agencies, signals and air-defence communities, primes and system integrators, and the partners who can open doors. You'll represent Onodrim and its companies externally, at a level where what you say carries weight, and you'll be measured on what you close.

Build the growth plan. For each portfolio company in your area, work out where the addressable demand is – tactical-communications and air-defence programmes, platform integrations, border and critical-infrastructure protection, export markets – and write a plan with targets, priorities and a pipeline to get there.
