About the role
About Minerva Minerva Defence is a UK sovereign defence technology company building the full stack of unmanned systems for modern warfare: hardware, software, networking, autonomy, navigation and effectors. Our mission is simple: to help ensure the UK and its allies can defend themselves in an era where major conflict is no longer unthinkable. We are deliberately low-profile: no hype, no performative marketing, just execution. We ideate, design, and manufacture from start to finish right here in the UK. Our products are in active use on the battlefield today, delivering real operational impact in the most demanding environments. Despite operating largely in stealth, our team of 60 people is delivering disproportionate effect, with tens of millions in annual revenue across UK and non-UK customers. Our culture is elite, innovative and mission-focused. We are built to be asymmetric: small in headcount, relentless in execution, and outsized in battlefield impact. We are looking for people who are not just talented, but committed: to the work, to the team, and to the purpose behind it. Role Description You'll own the day-to-day running of our IT environment: onboarding new starters, supporting a fast-growing team, and managing a multisite WiFi setup across a mixed device fleet through Intune. You'll work closely with the CISO (who's remote, so you'll have real autonomy on site) to keep our security posture sharp and aligned with the standards that matter in this space. This isn't a ticket queue; it's a chance to shape how IT works here as the company scales.
