About Us

Built over a 60-year heritage, Roke offers specialist knowledge in sensors, communications, cyber, and AI and ML.

We take care of the innovative, technical stuff that keeps everyone safe - that's our mission, passion, and motivation.

We are a friendly and flexible team with a culture of 'time, trust and freedom'. The role may give the opportunity to work from any of our offices or from home as necessary, and we will consider flexible working arrangements.

  • Line management & career & personal development of PMs within your portfolio.
  • Identifying, prioritising and actively managing risks & issues associated with bids & live contracts within the portfolio;
