  • Orchestrate the development of a software layer that ingests live data from hardware devices to provide unified patient, pod, and theatre-level views.
  • Navigate dual-use complexities and build a narrative to secure a lighthouse deployment and close a Seed round with top-tier defense-tech and venture investors.

Who you are

Who this is a fit for

  • Proven founder or senior operator who has successfully built and scaled a platform or infrastructure product from zero to one in high-stakes environments.
  • Deep familiarity with procurement and operations within at least one core segment: defense medical, humanitarian NGOs, or large-scale European health systems like the NHS.
  • Strong technical instincts regarding edge computing, IoT device orchestration, and data architecture to guide product strategy even if not personally writing code.

Why this role

Why this role is remarkable

  • Access a unique venture studio model offering €275k in spin-out capital plus a founder stipend and a dedicated venture-building team to ship your MVP.
  • Build in partnership with a leading global industrial healthcare partner, gaining unparalleled domain insight, sensor IP, and a significant head start in a massive market.
