About Alta Ares
Founded in 2024 in Paris and grown to 90 people, Alta Ares sells counter-drone and ISR systems to defense ministries, procurement agencies and armed forces, and teams with primes and integrators to get onto their programs. Its 13 sales-titled openings split into closers, prospectors and bid support. Two senior defense sellers own the national pipelines for the French and German ministries (5 to 10 years of MOD selling asked), a defence sales manager in Paris builds an Asia-Pacific pipeline from scratch across Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore, and a business development manager opens Japan from Tokyo or Nagoya. Six BDR seats prospect by email, phone and trade shows: Southern Europe, the Nordics and the Baltics from Paris, plus VIE or intern seats in Munich, Japan and Ottawa, the Canadian one working primes such as CAE and MDA on teaming and subcontract deals. The rest support the sale: a UAV field operations manager in London who runs demos and writes technical responses for UK MoD bids, a bid and project manager for NATO and EU tenders, and a public affairs and partnerships intern; seven of the 13 sit in Paris and none is in the US.

Job seekers never pay to use this board. An Apply button opens the employer's own application page, or the page of the recruiting firm filling the seat; only where a company or its recruiting firm pays us for a hire who came from here does that link carry our referral code, and the fee comes from them, never out of the base or OTE the role offers you.
