Could you be the full-time Tactical Sales & Business Development Manager in Riyadh we’re looking for?

Take on a new challenge and apply your strategic sales and business development expertise in a dynamic and fast-paced field. You'll work alongside collaborative and forward-thinking teammates.

Day-to-day, you’ll work closely with teams across the business (such as Customer Directors, Product Line Services, Engineering, and Marketing), engage with customers to understand their needs, and ensure alignment between Alstom’s service solutions and market demands.

You’ll specifically take care of identifying and generating leads by analyzing the installed base, assessing customer fleet conditions, and matching Alstom’s offerings to customer needs, but also by leveraging Return of Experience (RoE) and best practices from other Alstom units to replicate successful approaches.

• Engaging with all levels of the customer organization, from depot management to Customer Directors
• Leading and developing capture plans with tender team support
• Ensuring smooth contract transitions to Project Managers upon award
• Contributing to improving installed base data accuracy
• Providing continuous feedback to the Services Product Line to enable portfolio adjustments

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite
• Experience in sales of digital solutions and an understanding of co-creation sales approaches is a plus
• Knowledge of CRM software and rolling stock technical background, including maintenance and operation, is an advantage
• Demonstrated ability to work independently and as part of a team
• Adaptability, resilience, and a customer-focused mindset

Join us on a life-long transformative journey – the rail industry is here to stay, so you can grow and develop new skills and experiences throughout your career. You’ll also:

• Enjoy stability, challenges, and a long-term career free from repetitive daily routines
