About Saab
Saab sells defence systems to armed forces and governments, and each sale runs as a bid: every opportunity has a named lead (a Customer Sales Responsible or a Product Sales Responsible) who carries it through the company's Winning Business process, with capture teams, bid managers and commercial managers behind them. In Sweden the selling seats sit inside the business units: a director of business development in Solna for Digital Battlespace Solutions (command and control systems for armed forces and integrated Counter-UAS) opens new markets and customer segments and leads tenders, a product management and business development manager in Göteborg runs the product and bid managers for Surface Sensor Solutions' land and naval radars and electronic warfare systems, sales and operations planning included, and a commercial manager at Saab Dynamics' missile systems unit in Linköping owns pricing, currency, insurance, indexation and risk in export quotes and contracts as Commercial Finance Responsible. Abroad, Saab's national companies sell the group's portfolio into their home market: in the UK a head of business development and sales for the Air domain works RAF (and some Royal Navy) air requirements from London or Fareham as key account lead, and a home-based head of business development and sales for Saab Seaeye manages the sales managers for new subsea robots and the after-sales team for spares and repairs across offshore energy and defence; in Germany a head of business development for naval products, in Bremen or Berlin, works capture teams, tender responses and the contract terms that follow. Around them are support seats (a chief of staff to the head of marketing and sales in Karlskoga who runs business planning, reviews and CRM reporting, an assistant to the GlobalEye airborne early warning unit's marketing and sales team, and a security specialist backing Gripen marketing and sales at Saab Aeronautics), while master's theses, IT leadership and architect posts on its board carry sales-like titles without selling; every role requires passing a security vetting, and some add citizenship rules.

SalesJobs.Now is free for job seekers. Some links here pay us: a job ad network pays for a click on one of its sponsored jobs, a recruiting firm pays a referral fee when someone who came from here is hired, and a career tool pays a commission when you buy it. That costs you nothing and never lowers what you are paid. Roles whose links pay us can be placed higher in a list. "Featured roles" are openings an employer picked during a free trial with us; no employer can pay for that spot.
