Identify, protect, and accelerate the commercialisation of high potential technologies

With over 20 years of expertise, Ploughshare helps to unlock value in emerging innovations and create new commercial opportunities – transforming them into real-world solutions that protect lives, strengthen resilience, combat climate change, and drive national prosperity.

We work with leading scientists and innovators, with exclusive access to cutting-edge innovations from the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD), public and private sector. As a trusted MOD-owned company, we combine deep domain insight with commercial expertise to activate new, diversified revenue streams.

We are now recruiting a Vice President, Defence and Security to join our senior leadership team. This is a pivotal role in the organisation and ideal if you have a brilliant and impactful career in the defence sector – ready to help shape the future of UK innovation and security.

As we go through a period of growth, we are also recruiting Commercialisation Managers across a range of areas.

This is an incredibly exciting time for defence. The Strategic Defence Review 2025 calls for a wartime pace of innovation and a whole-of-society approach to resilience. Defence is no longer just about readiness – it’s a driver of national growth, technological leadership, and global influence. The UK is investing at unprecedented levels in dual-use technologies, SME growth, and sovereign capability. Ploughshare is proud to be part of this transformation.

Ploughshare is ambitious and growing. We are scaling our impact and expanding our reach, and it has never been a more exciting time to join us.

We are also proud to be an inclusive and diverse organisation. We know that the best ideas come from a variety of perspectives, and we are committed to building a team that reflects the richness of the communities we serve. If you are driven by purpose, inspired by challenge, and ready to lead with integrity and vision, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Warm regards,
