Your role

In this critical role, you'll be responsible for managing and overseeing support contracts related to the operation of Airborne Early Warning (AEW) systems, ensuring seamless operations and optimal performance. Our contracts are a vital part of our customers' capability to defend themselves and we are proud of being a professional supplier and partner.

The Contract Responsible governs our contractual obligations towards the customer and ensures that all conditions are fulfilled in order to successfully deliver customer contracts on time and budget. To initiate, maintain and develop interpersonal relations, internally and with customers and partners, is an important ingredient in the job. The role is found in Saab's "Execute Business" process.

You will be part of an expanding international support team ensuring our customers can keep their people and their societies safe.

Your profile

We believe you have well-developed project management skills, complemented by commercial and business experience, preferably in an international setting. Strong negotiation skills, along with a sense of diplomacy, drive, and integrity, are also key traits in your character. Additionally, an interest in the technical aspects of the role is essential.

As with all managerial positions, it is crucial that you take initiative and effectively communicate expectations, conditions, and requirements to build strong teams and drive progress while ensuring sustained performance for everyone involved.

We expect you to hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree in a relevant field and/or relevant work experience, along with strong verbal and written communication skills in English. This position also requires both the ability and willingness to travel occasionally within Sweden and abroad. Experience in support contracts and/or the defense industry in a similar role is considered a merit, particularly if you have a background in translating customer needs and requirements into concrete functions and activities.

This position requires that you pass a security vetting based on the current regulations around security protection. For positions requiring security clearance, additional obligations on citizenship may apply.
