Your contribution.
As a Partner Manager Defense at LiveDrop, you will be at the forefront of revolutionizing how defense organizations and cybersecurity providers manage and transfer critical information with their clients. You will amaze stakeholders with the simplicity and security of LiveDrop’s technology, ensuring it complies with the strict privacy laws and regulations governing defense and cyber operations. Your mission is to drive change in this complex and highly regulated landscape.
What will you do?
You will be responsible for introducing LiveDrop’s cutting-edge offline data transfer technology primarily to the Defense Market, dealing particular directly with the MoD’s (pull) and working closely with industry partners (push) to integrate our technology into specific offerings. Our technology is already piloted with government bodies and defense organizations in The Netherlands and abroad, but still in the early stage. Your role will be to scale its adoption throughout the Netherlands and beyond, either by monetizing in-house solutions or by partnering with key cybersecurity and defense technology providers.
We expect you to navigate smoothly within this complex environment, establishing LiveDrop’s technology as a new standard for secure data transfer. You will work closely with defense institutions, cybersecurity agencies, clients and partners to ensure successful implementation. Furthermore, you will be in charge of forming strategic alliances and partnerships that will extend LiveDrop’s reach in defense and cyber sectors.

You can identify opportunities, solve problems, and build relationships with ease. You have a strong analytical mindset and thrive in an environment where you need to lead initiatives from innovation to standard practice. As a Partner Manager, you will work closely with defense professionals, cybersecurity agencies, internal technical teams, and partners. You are driven by results and never shy away from a challenge.
