We’re building the UK’s next generation engineering powerhouse, providing critical technology that strengthens national security and resilience. At Rowden, we’re scaling fast: new products, new geographies, and new critical industry customers. To keep pace, we need leaders who thrive in ambiguity, move seamlessly from strategy to execution, and maintain a relentless focus on delivering outcomes for end users. If you love tackling complex problems and building systems that last, this is your opportunity to shape the future of a next‑generation engineering powerhouse.

Key Responsibilities

• Own strategically important projects that will help us build an engineering powerhouse.
• Work across engineering, product, commercial, and delivery teams to collate insights and collaboratively develop the best solutions.
• Bring curiosity, resourcefulness and drive to undefined problems, helping teams find clarity and make fast progress.
• Build clear, actionable, and data-driven plans that you can then execute with pace.
• Design repeatable systems and processes that help us scale with discipline, without losing agility.

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

• Experience in high‑growth, fast‑paced environments such as scale‑ups or tech/engineering‑led businesses.
• A track record of solving hands‑on, complex problems and delivering measurable results.
• Strong analytical skills, including modelling scenarios, interpreting data, and building quantitative frameworks to support decision‑making.
• Comfort in technical environments built through engineering experience, education, or working closely with product and engineering teams.
• Skilled at building credibility and communicating effectively across diverse stakeholder groups, from engineers to external partners.
• Proactive and self‑directed – able to define problems, make decisions with imperfect information, and drive work autonomously.
