Build and lead the commercial engine that takes Praetorian’s autonomous defence systems from capability to deployed programs across global defence markets.
About Praetorian
Praetorian Aeronautics builds advanced autonomous aerial systems designed to protect and defend against the rapidly evolving threat of drone warfare.
Headquartered in Adelaide, we are developing an integrated ecosystem of counter-autonomy systems including:
Together, these systems enable defence operators to detect, assess, and defeat autonomous threats while maintaining situational dominance in contested environments.
Why This Role Matters
The next generation of defence capability will not be won through incremental procurement—it will be shaped by companies that can align product, mission, and customer need before formal programs exist.
Praetorian is building systems designed for deployment, not demonstration. This role is critical to ensuring those systems are adopted—by shaping customer requirements, securing strategic partnerships, and converting operational demand into long-term programs across priority global markets.
The Role
This is not a traditional sales leadership role. You will build and lead Praetorian’s business development function as a core part of the company’s operating model.
Working directly with the Chief Product Officer, you will align market demand with product strategy—ensuring what we build is what wins, and what wins is what gets deployed. You will lead international market development, capture strategy, and the formation of a high-performance BD organisation operating across EU and Middle East defence markets.
