  • Tenders & Bid Management: Lead the preparation of technical proposals, competitive quotes, and point-to-point bid responses for major government and commercial tenders.
  • Influence Specifications: Engage directly with customer Technical Working Groups and specialized System Integrators (SIs) to shape technical requirements ahead of formal tenders.
     

Basic Requirements
  • ​10+ Years of Technical Sales Experience: A proven track record of high-performance sales targeting Ministries of Defense, maritime security agencies, and major Government-Linked Companies (GLCs).
  • Domain Expertise: Deep technical fluency in tactical communications, C4I architectures, or advanced video surveillance and analytics.
  • An Active Network: An established, active network of contacts among regional defense procurement officers, critical infrastructure enterprises, and defense System Integrators (SIs).

  • Mobility: Willingness and ability to travel regularly across the region on short notice (up to 50% travel).
  • Education: Bachelor’s Degree or Engineering Degree in relevant field.

Core Skills Required
