Solution Team Lead

Want to influence the bigger picture? At Saab, you can realise amazing innovations that keep people and societies safe. Together, we can truly make an impact – and your part matters.

We're seeking a Solution Team Lead to drive mission-critical digital solutions that protect people & societies and deliver measurable business value for defence and national security. You'll blend business acumen with technical depth, bring senior-level experience from collaborating with executive stakeholders, and lead cross-functional teams to deliver outcomes that enhance operational capability. We embrace Agile ways of working.

What you'll do

• Lead a cross-functional team to shape, deliver, and iterate digital solutions that increase readiness, resilience, and mission effectiveness while generating tangible business value.

• Partner with senior business management, programme teams, and technical leaders to translate mission goals into roadmaps, prioritize backlogs, and define clear success metrics and operational KPIs.

• Facilitate Agile ceremonies, remove impediments, and coach the team to continuously improve flow and delivery.

• Provide day-to-day leadership that fosters clarity, communication, and mentorship across the team.

• Ensure solution integrity across discovery, design, delivery, and run — balancing feasibility, scalability, security, and mission impact.

• Build trusted relationships with stakeholders, influence decisions with data and insight, and present with executive-level gravitas.

• Champion high standards for quality, reliability, cyber security, and compliance appropriate for defence and national security contexts.

We are looking for a candidate with a background in Industrial Engineering, Data Science, or Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience. You should have a minimum of three years in leadership roles, including project management, with a proven track record of delivering high-performing initiatives. A strong technical background is essential for engaging in credible dialogue with engineers and architects. We value an agile mindset and practices, where you are comfortable driving incremental value delivery with clear outcomes. Exceptional stakeholder management, communication, and interpersonal skills are crucial, as is confidence in operating with senior leadership. We are seeking a proactive, business-oriented individual with a focus on generating business value.

We also value if you have:

• Experience in defence, aerospace, regulated or safety-critical environments.

• Exposure to modern data platforms, cloud, integration patterns, and secure-by-design principles.

We encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds. If your experience looks a little different from what we've outlined and you think you can bring value to the role, we'd love to hear from you.

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

Explore a wealth of possibilities. Take on challenges, create smart inventions, and grow beyond. This is a place for curious minds, brave pioneers, and everyone in between. Together, we achieve the extraordinary, each bringing our unique perspectives. Your part matters.
