Marketing Lead
Company
NestAI is a European AI lab for defence delivering the adaptive operating system for modern battlefield operations. We develop adaptive intelligence for unmanned and command systems: AI that continuously learns from operational data and adapts to changing conditions.
NestOS is our open, modular and interoperable platform that enables this at scale and keeps capability evolution under sovereign European control. Founded in 2025 by Peter Sarlin, whose previous company Silo AI became Europe's largest AI acquisition, NestAI brings together over 150 engineers and scientists and partners with leading European defence forces and industry.
What you will do
You will build how NestAI shows up in the market: shaping how defence forces, industry partners, and ecosystem players understand what NestAI is and why it matters. You will need sharp instincts about where presence creates leverage and the ability to bring ideas to life across formats, channels, and events.
In practice:
You will join our marketing team and report to Kristiina Ranki, who oversees NestAI's marketing and communications efforts. The work is strategic and creative.
Plan and execute NestAI's presence at key European defence and security events, and make that presence count beyond a logo on a banner
Create and host events and executive gatherings that establish NestAI as the convening voice in European defence AI
Develop content and narratives mapped to the buyer journeys of priority segments, for defence forces and industry
Develop the asset library that supports sales and partnership conversations, in close collaboration with the sales team
What we are looking for
8+ years of relevant marketing experience in technically complex B2B or B2G, ideally in defence, deep-tech, dual-use, or critical infrastructure
You start from the customer's world, understand what they are trying to solve, and build narratives that make NestAI's relevance clear without needing to explain everything from first principles
You have experience planning and executing presence at major industry events, and you know how to make that presence count beyond a booth
You operate with a high degree of autonomy, manage your own priorities, and know how to work cross-functionally without needing a complete brief to get started
You are comfortable working with and directing external partners, agencies, and production teams to deliver work that meets a high bar
You have experience with long sales cycles and strategic or account-based GTM motions, and are comfortable working in close partnership with an international sales team
You use AI extensively in your own workflows. We expect this as a baseline and look for someone who wants to keep pushing further
We know this is a specific combination of skills. If you do not tick every box but this feels like your kind of challenge, we encourage you to apply anyhow. We care more about finding the right person than the perfect CV.
Why join NestAI
At NestAI, you’ll build meaningful, real-world technology as part of a world-class team of engineers, scientists, and experienced professionals. You’ll work on systems where reliability genuinely matters, contribute to Europe’s security and resilience, and solve problems that demand depth, trust, and craftsmanship. If you want to build with purpose — and with leading experts in the field — you’ve come to the right place.
We operate as a deliberately small, AI-augmented team built to move fast and punch well above our weight. You will have real ownership and the tools to operate at a scale that would normally require a much bigger team.

About NestAI
Physical AI is moving from theory to reality. The systems being built today will shape how societies protect people, operate critical infrastructure, and respond under pressure for decades to come.
At NestAI, close to 200 engineers and scientists work at the intersection of software, hardware, and AI — developing autonomy, sensing, and command capabilities for mission-critical use. This isn’t demo work. It’s real systems, built for real environments.
We build in Europe, with open and interoperable architectures, so that critical capabilities can evolve over time without lock-in — and remain accountable to the societies they serve.
