Junior Project Manager

As Junior Project Manager, you will drive day-to-day execution across Skapion’s engineering programs. Using the company’s project management systems, you will keep schedules, requirements, dependencies, deliverables, and milestones visible and aligned across teams. You will also turn program data into clear insights for the PMO and leadership, flagging risks, slippages, resource conflicts, and dependency issues early. The role calls for analytical thinking, process discipline, business judgment, and the ability to communicate clearly with both engineers and executives.

Your mission is to give a true picture of every program, so problems are caught early and engineering teams stay aligned and on schedule.

Some problems are too urgent to wait. Skapion is a defense-tech company building a Native Counter-Swarm Platform, designed from the ground up to intercept and defeat the threat. We are backed by top-tier investors and recruiting at full steam.

• Build it from day one. Help shape how programs are run instead of inheriting someone else’s process.
• See a defense program from the inside. Work side by side with engineers and executives, from day one through live field trials.
• Real, visible impact. In a focused team, your insights directly shape how leadership makes decisions.
• Growing fast. The people who join now will help set the standard for everything that comes next.

If you want to build something that matters, with people who know how, we’d love to meet you.
