Job Description

About Merlin:

Merlin is a venture backed aerospace startup building a non-human pilot to enable both reduced crew and uncrewed flight. Backed by some of the world’s leading investors, Merlin is scaling alongside our customers to begin leveraging autonomy today to solve some of aviation’s biggest challenges.

About You:

You are a strategic operator with deep program leadership experience and a passion for delivering mission-critical outcomes. As a Senior Program Manager at Merlin, you’ll play a pivotal role in leading and scaling a portfolio of high-impact customer-facing defense and autonomy programs—from early-stage capture through successful deployment and fielding.

You bring a rare blend of technical fluency, stakeholder confidence, and operational rigor. You thrive in dynamic environments where ambiguity is the norm and execution velocity is critical. You have the ability to listen deeply, translate military operator needs into technical and programmatic priorities, and guide teams toward impactful delivery. You’re not just a program manager—you’re a builder, an integrator, and a force multiplier. If you’re excited by the opportunity to shape the future of aviation while growing enduring customer relationships, we’d love to meet you.
