We are making Saudi Arabia a safer place by securing the country’s critical infrastructure and e-security solutions that secure the country’s electronic payment systems. Thales has been selected to supply major electronic systems for air defence and the Group also supplied communication and optronic systems for the Army, the Saudi Arabia National Guards and the Air Force.

**GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND MISSIONS**

Director Civil Accounts KSA is to lead the identification, qualification and booking of "Civil Business" opportunities in the Middle East Region, supporting the respective "Key Account civil teams". For sake of clarity, "Civil Business" means Aerospace, Space and Security Business, essentially.

The Director Civil Accounts KSA is reporting to the VP KSA and CA.

The Director Civil Accounts KSA will drive the Civil Account Plans of the KSA and CA in order to define the account strategy and align the plan with the customer expectation and the internal stakeholders by:

- Understanding the customer's stakes, expectations and vision and how Thales offers can support the customer's business.
- Monitoring the performance of Thales’ competitors with the customer.
- Identifying and defining Strategic Initiatives, in collaboration with the customer, to generate growth beyond business as usual and contributing to build and strengthen a customer relationship based on partnership.
- Working closely with Account Marketing for support on actions plans (growth opportunities, engagement plan, must-wins, market segment content).

The Director Civil Accounts KSA will orchestrate and network with internal and external stakeholders by:

- Sharing general interest information on the customer (i.e. customer strategy and structure, customer needs, budgets) and represent the Customer internally.
- Validate and promote at executive level the Account Plan and facilitating the execution of the related action plan with countries and GBUs involved.
- Informing the account team and account steering committee of customer satisfaction issues and supporting the development of customer satisfaction measuring in the account.

In close coordination with the account team the Director Civil Accounts KSA act as “One face to the customer”/Senior Management on behalf of Thales Group, without overstepping the role of the Country KAMs by:

- Maximizing customer satisfaction facing executive level of the customers and partners organization while supporting the Civil Accounts teams.
- Setting actions together with the customer to develop trust and loyalty between both organizations.
- Developing Group OI in the short and medium term by managing Customer intimacy.
- Driving and securing strategic initiatives as defined in the Account Plan.
