About SkeyDrone
SkeyDrone operates at the forefront of integrating drones safely into the airspace. We enable airports, air navigation service providers, seaports, and critical infrastructure operators to manage and protect their lower airspace with confidence. By combining cutting-edge technologies for drone detection, flight authorization, and situational awareness, we help organizations turn complexity into control. Our mission is to make low-level airspace safer, smarter, and more connected; from flight authorization to real-time drone detection, from operational oversight to intelligent decision-making.
The Role
We are looking for a Program & Project Manager to lead and coordinate SkeyDrone’s operational projects. In this role, you will oversee the end-to-end delivery of diverse programs – from customer installations and commercial sales tracks to European and regional subsidy projects.
You will ensure projects are delivered on time, within scope and budget, while aligning closely with internal stakeholders, customers and partners.
You excel in the dynamic rhythm of a scale-up — adapting as priorities evolve, making impact with limited resources, and turning ideas into action. You combine strategic thinking with a get-it-done mindset.
Key Responsibilities
– Manage the full lifecycle of operational projects, including planning, execution, monitoring, and reporting.
– Coordinate multi-stakeholder projects involving customers, suppliers, and public authorities.
– Oversee installation projects for drone detection systems across various sites.
– Support commercial sales tracks by translating customer requirements into actionable project plans.
– Lead the execution and reporting of subsidy-funded projects (regional, national, or EU).
– Implement and continuously improve project management methodologies and tools.
– Report project status, risks, and opportunities to the management team.
– Foster strong alignment between internal teams and external partners to turn shared goals into coordinated action.
– Design and embed a scalable delivery framework, empowering project owners with tools and best practices.
– Lead the evolution of our operational governance as we scale from project delivery to program excellence.
Your Profile
– Minimum 7 years of experience in programme or project management, ideally in a software environment.
– Proven track record managing complex, multi-stakeholder projects.
– Strong organisational and communication skills.
– Experience with public or EU-funded projects is a strong asset.
– Familiarity with aviation, drones, or telecom sectors is a plus.
– Fluency in English, Dutch and French.
– PMP or PRINCE2 certification is considered an advantage.

– The opportunity to contribute to one of the most innovative domains in aviation.
– A dynamic and growing scale-up environment backed by strong shareholders.
– A flexible hybrid working policy.
– Competitive salary package with attractive benefits.
