Commercial Director, U.S. Domestic Business Development

MyDefence is a global leader in counter-drone technology, providing innovative wireless communication solutions to protect people and critical infrastructure. With strong growth in both military and civilian markets, MyDefence is expanding its footprint in the U.S. to meet increasing demand for effective, field-proven counter-UAS systems.

We are looking for an experienced Commercial Director, U.S. Domestic Business Development to join our U.S. sales team and drive growth within the Federal Government sector, with a strong focus on homeland security and border protection. The role will concentrate particularly on opportunities with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and related agencies.

The ideal candidate will have a proven background in business development or operational support to CBP, combined with a deep understanding of homeland security mission needs and procurement processes. A broader network within DHS and DoD is valuable, but direct CBP engagement experience is strongly preferred.

The position reports directly to the Vice President of Sales.

• Represent MyDefence at industry events, conferences, and demonstrations.
• Collaborate with internal sales, R&D, marketing, and operations teams to tailor solutions to customer needs.
• Contribute to the achievement of commercial KPIs and support MyDefence’s long-term growth strategy in the U.S.

Qualifications

• Minimum of 5 years of technical sales or business development experience within the defense, homeland security, or related sectors.
• Direct experience engaging with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in sales, program support, or operational roles.
• Established network within CBP and/or other DHS agencies.
• Experience from the UAS/C-UAS industry.
• Strong understanding of government procurement processes, especially within the homeland security space.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to present technical solutions to a range of audiences.
• Self-starter with the ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team.
• Willingness to travel 50–70 days per year domestically and internationally.
