Comand AI's Mission

Comand AI's mission is to deliver the next-generation of software to the European defense. From the very identification of the capacities that need building to their actual delivery within the hands of our forces, achieving our objective means finding the narrow ways through complex legacy environments, dense ecosystems, concrete partnership engagements.

We are looking for a Business Strategist to build Comand AI’s presence from the ground up. You will identify the right entry points, build trusted relationships across the defense ecosystem, and create the path from first operational engagement to pilot and contract. Working closely with product and forward deployed teams, you’ll turn operational proof into commercial traction and establish Comand AI as a trusted partner in the market.

What This Looks Like in Practice

  • Build Comand AI’s presence in your market: identify the right units, partners, champions, and procurement pathways, then own the journey from first engagement through experimentation, pilot, and contract
  • Identify and shape strategic opportunities before formal procurement, positioning Comand AI where operational needs emerge
  • Build and maintain trusted relationships across the defense ecosystem, from operational units to industrial partners and government stakeholders
  • Navigate long, politically sensitive B2G sales cycles involving multiple stakeholders, security clearances, RFIs, RFPs, and public procurement rules
  • Translate Comand AI’s technical capabilities into language that resonates with procurement officers, general staffs, and program leads
  • Work closely with the founders, product, and forward deployed teams to turn field validation into commercial traction
  • Collaborate with a Europe-wide team to unlock strategic opportunities with armed forces, partners, and defense organizations

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
