About the role

Onodrim is building Europe's largest defence and industrial platform. We acquire specialist manufacturers in critical defence and dual-use supply chains, then invest behind their growth with capital, technology and operating know-how.

Radio communications, radar, sensing and the RF hardware underneath them are one of the areas where Europe's capacity gap is widest and where we intend to build real depth. The Head of Communications, Radar and Sensing owns that business unit. You'll set the vision for what Onodrim should own and build in RF, decide which acquisitions, programmes and partnerships we pursue and which we pass on, and run the unit as it grows - from a handful of programmes today to a portfolio of companies, products and customers.

This is a role for someone who has spent a career in RF and has formed strong opinions from it. You'll need the technical depth to walk into a target company, understand what its engineers have actually built and what it would take to enhance it; the market understanding to know which capabilities European armed forces and primes will pay for over the next decade; and the commercial judgement to turn both into decisions with capital behind them.

What you'll do

  • Set the vision. Define what Onodrim's RF business should look like in five years - which capabilities we should own, buy, or leave to others - and keep it current as the field and the threat adapts.
  • Decide where to invest and where to pass. Lead technical and commercial assessment of acquisition targets, programmes, partnerships and internal R&D in radio, radar and RF hardware. Be able to defend your assessment and position.
  • Own the unit's results. Run the RF business unit against revenue, programme wins, margin and acquisition outcomes. Build the budget and the plan, and hold the team to it.
  • Lead technical diligence. Go deep on target companies' products, IP, test data, supply chains and engineering teams. Separate what works from what is promised, and price the gap.
  • Drive portfolio-company growth. After an acquisition, set the product and technology direction for the RF businesses we own, decide what to consolidate across them, and unblock what slows them down.

Nice to have

  • Experience in a scale-up, PE-backed platform or corporate venture unit where you built something from a small base.
