Overview
Ottopia is seeking a
Director of Program Management
with a strong technical foundation to lead complex, multi-disciplinary programs spanning AI, software, and hardware systems. In this role, you will drive execution across internal teams (R&D, Product, QA, Business) and external stakeholders, including Government, Military, and Defense Primes. You’ll be responsible for delivering mission-critical projects – on time, at high quality, and with full accountability. Success requires a deep understanding of system architecture, technical trade-offs, and implementation constraints. You’ll serve as the single point of coordination and communication across all functions, ensuring alignment, progress, and impact. Responsibilities
Own the full lifecycle of complex, cross-functional programs – from planning through execution and delivery. Translate customer and business objectives into detailed project plans with clear milestones, owners, and timelines. Actively manage execution – monitor progress, flag risks early, and drive issue resolution to keep programs on track. Work closely with R&D and Product teams to understand technical trade-offs, architecture decisions, and system constraints. Serve as the main point of contact for Government, Military, and Defense Prime customers – ensuring alignment with technical specs, program requirements, and relevant standards. Prepare and present clear, concise updates – from executive summaries to technical deep dives – tailored to internal and external stakeholders. Continuously improve project execution, cross-team workflows, and stakeholder communication. Draft Statements of Work (SOWs), risk assessments, delivery plans, and other critical program documentation. 5+ years of experience in program or project management roles in tech, leading complex, multi-disciplinary programs. Must have prior experience as a core team member at a successful startup, scale-up, or prime contractor in the defense sector – not just as an external vendor. Strong technical foundation – hands-on experience in one or more of the following: systems engineering, autonomy, AI, computer vision, embedded software, networking, or related domains. Proven ability to understand and communicate complex technical systems (e.g., autonomy, safety, networking, video). Fluent Hebrew and English – excellent written and verbal communication across technical and executive audiences. Highly organized, execution-driven, and comfortable operating in fast-paced, high-stakes environments. Willingness to travel internationally for customer engagements, field trials, and partner visits as needed. Preferred Qualifications
Experience in startups delivering mission-critical software and/or hardware systems. Familiarity with modern software development tools and methodologies (e.g., Agile, Jira, Confluence). Proven ability to manage cross-functional teams across software, hardware, QA, product, and field operations. Understanding of defense procurement cycles, compliance requirements, and certification processes. Background in teleoperation, robotics, autonomous systems, automotive platforms, or C4I systems. Technical degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related field. Soft Skills
Strong leadership without formal authority. Exceptional stakeholder management and interpersonal communication. Problem-solver with a hands-on, ownership-driven approach. Comfortable operating under ambiguity and evolving requirements. Eager to learn, grow, and succeed as part of a mission-driven team. Other Roles
