Legal Director - Defence & Aerospace

Jameson Legal


A rare opportunity has emerged for a seasoned Trade Controls Lawyer to join a leading organisation in the defence and advanced manufacturing sectors in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

This is a senior-level position advising on a wide range of complex international trade controls matters, spanning export controls, economic sanctions, customs and import/export regulations, licensing and regulatory compliance. The successful candidate will be central to supporting the organisation's international operations and strategic growth initiatives, while ensuring compliance as global trade regulations continue to evolve.

Applicants should bring substantial experience advising on international trade controls, export controls, sanctions and related regulatory matters, ideally within the defence, aerospace or advanced manufacturing sectors. Experience advising on, or working with, US, UK, EU and other international trade control regimes will be highly advantageous. Ideally, candidates will have at least 10 years' post-qualification experience and be a Saudi qualified Lawyer.

The role comes with a highly competitive package and the chance to become part of a strategically important, rapidly growing business at the cutting edge of innovation in the region.

Location : Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

For a confidential discussion about this opportunity, or about other in-house legal roles we are handling across the Middle East, please contact Shenaz Khan at: View email address on jobs.thelawyer.com .

Please note that where a level of preferred experience or qualification is indicated, this is a guideline only and does not preclude applications from candidates with more or less experience.

Our consultants will review your application and assess your suitability. We endeavour to respond to all applications within 72 hours, however due to the volume of applications we receive we may not be able to respond to every candidate individually and would advise that if you do not hear from us you should assume you are not successful in your application.
