Helsing is a defence AI company. Our mission is to protect our democracies. We aim to achieve technological leadership, so that open societies can continue to make sovereign decisions and control their ethical standards.
As democracies, we believe we have a special responsibility to be thoughtful about the development and deployment of powerful technologies like AI. We take this responsibility seriously.
We are an ambitious and committed team of engineers, AI specialists and customer-facing programme managers.

We embrace an open and transparent culture that welcomes healthy debates on the use of technology in defence, its benefits, and its ethical implications.
As a Product Manager, you will be responsible for discovering and delivering a product that unlocks new capabilities for our customers.
Product Manager at Helsing is a fully-fledged product role. We do not have Product Owners, and you will not have product owner-type responsibilities. Your focus is on identifying the product that Helsing needs to build in your space and orchestrating the company to successfully deliver it. This stretches from commercial strategy and go-to-market through to product design and technical architecture.
The day-to-day- Focusing on assurance of AI, you will be responsible for shaping Helsing’s vision of assurance and certification of AI-heavy software products.

- You will be holding the pen on Helsing’s vision of AI assurance. You will collaborate with many functions at Helsing, as well as partners in industry and academia.
- You will establish the concepts and principles around which Helsing and others can build successful assurance programs, paving the way for large scale deployment of AI in defence.
- have a strong interest in technology policy in general, and AI assurance in particular
- have a solid understanding of the technology involved in AI – you might not be able to build the models, but you know in detail how they work
- have a collaborative approach to developing a policy framework, drawing on the best ideas from a wide range of discipline
- have a structured thinking and high quality written expression
- have personal values which match ours: ownership, initiative, dedication to mission, speed and inclusiveness
