Meet the Team
Defence Leaders is driven by a passionate, dedicated (and occasionally a bit bonkers) team of professionals who genuinely care about the defence sector. We’re not your typical media business, we’re embedded in the world we cover, with serving military personnel working alongside our content, events, and creative teams. That insider perspective keeps us sharp, grounded, and always relevant.
We pride ourselves on being collaborative, curious, and just the right amount of unconventional. Whether we’re running major events or producing high-impact content, we bring energy, insight, and a shared sense of purpose to everything we do.
We’re also growing! if you think a role with us sounds like your kind of challenge, check out our CAREERS to see what opportunities are currently open.
