GM - Maritime

This is a role for an operator who understands the future of maritime domain awareness — one that increasingly depends on uncrewed aircraft, persistent ISR, and multi-mission autonomy. As General Manager, Maritime, you will own the P&L for Merlin’s maritime business and be accountable for one core outcome: turning maritime mission needs into revenue-generating programs. You bring fluency in maritime patrol missions, manned and unmanned ISR operations, and the systems that government and commercial maritime customers rely on — from vessel monitoring tools to command-and-control platforms and situational awareness networks. You understand how organizations like the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Navy, DHS, offshore operators, and global maritime agencies operate and make decisions. Your presence, relationships, and operational credibility position you to represent Merlin at the highest levels. Your execution discipline ensures that opportunities turn into programs — and programs into lasting revenue.

📋 Preparation Priorities (Key Areas to Clarify):

• 1. Moving fast and breaking things in a domain where software failure results in catastrophic loss.
• 2. Hand-waving edge cases in flight autonomy and sensor fusion logic.
• 3. Inability to operate effectively under strict aviation regulatory frameworks.
