  • Integrate localization strategies into captures, bids, and major procurement opportunities.
  • Structure commercial models, governance frameworks, and funding approaches for complex initiatives.
  • Lead execution of programmes including technology transfer, applied research, capability development, and production localization.
  • Coordinate cross-functional teams from concept through commercialization.
  • Build and manage a pipeline of opportunities tied to national programmes and long-term initiatives.
  • Develop local innovation, supplier, and talent ecosystems that support long-term growth.
  • Track programme performance, compliance, localization metrics, and business outcomes.
 
What you need
  • Required: Ability to build influence with senior government, sovereign, and industry stakeholders.
  • Required: Strong commercial acumen and partnership development expertise.
  • Required: Experience structuring complex multi-party commercial arrangements and programmes.
  • Required: 10+ years of experience in defense, aerospace, industrial participation, or strategic business development within the Middle East.
  • Required: Demonstrated success delivering localization or industrial participation initiatives in the UAE and/or Saudi Arabia.
  • Required: Knowledge of UAE and Saudi localization frameworks and industrial strategies.
  • Required: Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Business, International Relations, or a related field.
  • Advantage: Master's degree in a relevant discipline.
 
What we offer
  • Opportunity to shape high-impact regional growth initiatives.
  • Exposure to complex defense, aerospace, and advanced technology programmes.
  • Collaboration across Teledyne businesses and international teams.
  • Meaningful work supporting innovation and sovereign capability development.
  • Stable, long-term environment with significant business impact.
  • Opportunities for professional and leadership growth.
 
What happens next
Applications are reviewed by our Talent Acquisition team. Selected candidates will participate in a recruiter discussion followed by hiring team and stakeholder interviews. Timelines vary based on business needs.
This position requires access to export-controlled information or items (i.e. regulated technology or technical data per ITAR/EAR US regulations). Applicants must be eligible to for and obtain the appropriate export control license from the U.S. Departments of State or Commerce.
