<p><strong>Mission Brief </strong></p> <p>Isar Aerospace is building the launch company Europe needs: fast, vertically integrated, technically ambitious, and execution-driven.
To scale from a high-performing engineering and production organization into a global space company, we need Enterprise IT & Data to become a true force multiplier, building an AI-first technology landscape where systems, platforms, and data are designed for interoperability, scalability, and long-term sovereignty.
</p> <p>As Director Enterprise IT & Data, you lead the function that makes Isar faster, sharper, and more scalable: enterprise IT, core business platforms, architecture, data, AI enablement, and digital demand governance.
Your mission is to turn Isar’s vertical integration and the data it generates into an unfair advantage.
</p> <p>This is not a maintenance role.
Day-to-day operations need to be reliable, but the real mandate is bigger: build the digital backbone that allows the company to move at mission speed.
You set direction, create focus, remove noise, make trade-offs, and hold the organization accountable for outcomes.
Functional leads own day-to-day execution; you own the operating model, roadmap, priorities, standards, and business impact.
</p> <p>You will work in a high-ownership environment with little room for bureaucracy, politics, or theoretical transformation work.
We need someone who can think strategically, operate pragmatically, and drive execution relentlessly.
Someone who understands that great IT is not.
The role works closely with Information & Cybersecurity as an independent counterpart responsible for security governance, risk, compliance, threat detection, and assurance.
