Build a credible brand around SE3's technology and work in the field, and tell our story to the people who matter most.
SE3 Labs builds spatial intelligence and autonomy software for unmanned systems. We combine 3D computer vision, state estimation and AI to help autonomous platforms perceive their surroundings, know where they are and operate when GPS and other sensors become unreliable. Defence is a core application of our work today.
We are growing to a team of 100+ people. Join at a stage where you can shape our Marketing team, help build the team and grow your responsibilities as the company expands.
As Head of Marketing / Communications, you'll build our marketing team and our brand internationally, telling SE3's story to government customers, industry partners, investors and future colleagues. You'll work closely with our founders, engineers and a strong designer, ideally based with the team in Munich. Excellence in marketing matters more to us than a defence background, and we'll complement you with people who know German defence and security policy in depth.
Brand: Build a credible institutional brand around our technology and our work in the field.
Storytelling: Tell our story to government customers, industry partners, investors and the people we want to hire.

Media Relations: Build media relationships and help the founders communicate clearly.
Creative Partners: Work with design, video and subject-matter specialists to produce excellent work.
Team Building: Hire the marketing team, set the bar and stay hands-on.
You take ownership of outcomes and remove obstacles without waiting for direction. You turn discussions into clear decisions and decisions into deliverables, and you hold yourself and your team to a consistently high standard.

You have built a credible brand, ideally for a technology company, and explained complex subjects to different audiences.
You can build and lead a strong marketing team while staying hands-on.
You have a high quality bar and work well with strong designers.
