Riyadh, Saudi Arabia IBM Full time

Introduction

At IBM, work is more than a job - it's a calling: To build. To design. To code. To consult. To think along with clients and sell. To make markets. To invent. To collaborate. Not just to do something better, but to attempt things you've never thought possible. Are you ready to lead in this new era of technology and solve some of the world's most challenging problems? If so, lets talk.

Your Role and Responsibilities

The Government and Regulatory Affairs (GRA) Executive for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) will be responsible for public policy and regulatory issues that impact the company in the country. S/He will oversee the development of proactive public policy strategies to favorably impact the company’s operating environment in the Kingdom and their relationships with the US.
