Your daily life

The Gennevilliers Campus is the heart of design, development, and support activities for major defense systems: radiocommunications, resilient networks and infrastructure systems, satellite communications, collaborative combat, and cybersecurity. Located north of Paris, it is easily accessible by public transport.

Within the Defense Protection System (DPS) sector, you will join the Collaborative Combat and Support Projects Department and take responsibility for the ATLAS Export program, at the core of our FCS (Fire Control System) offering for the armed forces' Artillery component.

Responsibilities

• Ensure the management of an Export project for the supply of the ATLAS system, which is divided into two distinct contracts: one for the French vehicle manufacturer (KNDS) and the other directly for the export country's MoD (Eastern Europe).
• Be responsible for delivering the project's objectives (development milestones, IVVQ, equipment, services) within the planned costs and deadlines.
• Report and alert management.
• As a true conductor of a multidisciplinary team, you have a sense of communication and know how to give meaning to the teams.

This ATLAS Export project represents an annual turnover of around €7-10M per year (over 4 years).

Travel to the client in Eastern Europe and in France (partner sites) is to be expected.

Qualifications

• You have 10 years of experience in complex project management, ideally in the Defense sector.
• Beyond project management, you also have the ability to participate in the portfolio vision of the activity, and eventually participate in the formalization of a Product / Project approach for Artillery.
