The role involves gathering insights from various Business Areas and functions, coordinating a diverse team of colleagues from across the globe, and collaborating with internal stakeholders and suppliers from different countries and cultures.

You will manage budgets, allocate resources, evaluate external services, and provide support by participating in technical meetings, conducting briefings, and resolving complex issues where necessary. To succeed in this role, you will need to be flexible, innovative, and results-focused, with the ability to inspire and motivate your team in a dynamic and challenging environment.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Continue developing the Saab presence at global events, with main focus on Europe
  • Plan, execute, and manage Saab's participation in global events and exhibitions, including expense tracking, event timelines, management of external suppliers, logistics, booth production, and more
  • Ensure events stay within budget and are executed on schedule

  • Govern and develop Saab's event management processes, including tools and guidelines
  • Provide support to colleagues, ensuring all aspects of events are carried out successfully and smoothly

You will be a part of the Group Business Development (GBD) Office team which has the task to improve and strengthen Saab's global sales. The Group Business Development organisation (GBD) has the responsibility to generate leads as well as act as the primary customer interface for business opportunities worldwide, excluding Sweden and the Operational Countries (OPCs i.e., Australia, Germany, the UK and the US). GBD also provides customer- and market information to the Business Areas (BA's), Business Units (BU's.) and other Saab functions.

Regular travel will be required, including sometimes on weekends and national holidays.

Your profile

We are seeking an experienced professional to manage complex events in an international context. You have a strong background in project management and marketing, paired with excellent organisational and leadership skills. You have experience negotiating with suppliers, adhering to budgets, and preparing detailed project plans. Confident and independent, you thrive in fast-paced environments and excel at planning and executing multifaceted projects.

With a self-starter attitude, you remain calm under pressure, effectively prioritising tasks to meet tight deadlines. You are skilled at working across organisations, locations, and leadership levels, delegating tasks, and coordinating teams, as well as being a team-player. Creativity is central to your approach, enabling you to deliver impactful events. Professionalism, sound judgement, and integrity underpin everything you do.

Fluency in written and spoken English and Swedish is essential, and additional languages are an advantage. A relevant education is desirable, and the role involves regular international travel.

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 Swedish citizenship may apply.

What you will be part of

Joining us means making an impact together, contributing in our own unique ways. From crafting complex code and building impressive defence and security solutions to simply sharing a coffee with a colleague, every action counts. We encourage you to take on challenges, to create smart inventions and grow in our friendly and tech-savvy workspace. We have a solid mission to keep people and society safe.

Saab is a leading defence and security company with an enduring mission, to help nations keep their people and society safe. Empowered by its 25,500 talented people, Saab constantly pushes the boundaries of technology to create a safer and more sustainable world.
