TYTAN Technologies
TYTAN is a young deep-tech defense startup that develops a cost-effective counter-drone solution to protect people and critical infrastructure. We are an international team of ambitious engineers who combine expertise in autonomous systems and UAV design.
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.
