We are seeking an experienced Senior Business Development professional based in Florida, near Tampa or Orlando, to develop our U.S. defense-market position and build the commercial foundation for future growth.
The successful candidate will work closely with our headquarters in the Netherlands and Nostromo LLC, our U.S. subsidiary based in Maine. The initial focus is sales, government engagement, and strategic partnerships, with the longer-term ambition of establishing U.S.-based production, creating skilled American jobs, and strengthening the industrial bridge between the United States and the Netherlands.

Build relationships with procurement commands, program offices, prime contractors, and industry partners.
Identify programs, tenders, and strategic partnerships.
Coordinate activities between Florida, Maine, and the Netherlands.
Support future localization, manufacturing, and U.S. supply-chain development.
Represent AIA at customer meetings, demonstrations, and defense-industry events.
Candidate profile
Proven experience conducting business with the U.S. Army, DoD, or other U.S. military organizations.
A strong network within U.S. defense procurement, military programs, or prime contractors.
Senior business-development experience in the defense industry.
Demonstrated ability to develop complex, long-term government opportunities.
Familiarity with U.S. defense acquisition and compliance requirements.
More than a sales role
This position is the first step toward building a future U.S. operation focused on local production, American employment, and transatlantic industrial cooperation.
