Full job description

You are the execution engine behind every UK contract Xtend signs. This is not a traditional PMO role. You will build delivery, logistics, and operational discipline from the ground up - the structure that lets us scale from a single contract to a portfolio of MOD programmes without compromising quality or pace. The right candidate builds a process while delivering the work, not before it.

Core responsibilities

Own delivery end-to-end across every UK contract - Whatever it takes to ship on time and on specification.
Build the operational backbone: project plans, supplier coordination, RACI, milestones, customer reporting. The structure does not yet exist - you create it.
Run logistics, equipment movement, demos, and training events. Hands on the kit, not just on the schedule.
Coordinate execution across UK technical, BD, compliance, and global engineering teams - across time zones and engineering cultures.
Track delivery, budget, and risk at the project level. Escalate early. Resolve quickly.
Stand up the new UK facility as a delivery project in its own right - lease, fit-out, lab move, security, IT.
Be the operational single point of contact when customers need a decision the same day.

Requirements:

5+ years running delivery or operations in defence, aerospace, or regulated hardware - ideally in environments small enough that you executed the work yourself.
Proven track record in taking complex multi-stakeholder programmes from kick-off to delivery, against firm contractual milestones.
Builder, not maintainer. You have built a process and structure from a blank page before, not only operated inside someone else's system.
Equally comfortable in a boardroom, a warehouse, and a lab.
Sharp written and verbal communication - able to run a customer review and produce the minutes the same day.
Fluent English; right to work in the UK.
Strong advantage: ex-military or MOD background, PRINCE2 / APM, prior UAV or unmanned systems exposure.

Environment and expectations

Xtend UK is a fast-growing defence-tech company. Pace is high, structure is being built, and ownership is real.
You will be expected to contribute beyond the formal scope of your role. Team members support each other to execute the mission successfully.
Mission-first mentality. We are building capability that ends up in the hands of operators - that comes before process and hierarchy.
This role is about making things happen in a setting where the playbook is still being written. Comfort with operational ambiguity is essential.
Expect to design processes lean and iterate - not to import a heavyweight corporate PMO model.
Problem-solving and logistics improvisation are part of the daily routine. The work is hands-on as much as it is strategic.
Execution speed matters. We operate with urgency, high ownership, and a strong bias toward action.
