Location: Belfast, United Kingdom

Thales is a global technology leader with more than 83,000 employees on five continents. With over 7,500 people in the UK, operating across defence, space, aerospace, and digital security, we help build a future we can all trust. Thales supports the security and stability of our nation by providing extraordinary technology to our customers, as well as delivering social value to the UK with our products and services.

Business Area Director – UK

Location: Belfast (with responsibility for Thorney Island)

Business Unit: Integrated Airspace Protection Systems (IAS)

We’re seeking an exceptional Business Area Director – UK to lead the UK IAS portfolio, build strategic customer relationships, and drive profitable growth in defence and high-tech sectors. The director will collaborate with the UK MOD and internal stakeholders to deliver long-term value, lead multidisciplinary teams, and foster innovation and commercial success.

This position offers a significant opportunity to impact UK national defence by managing critical air defence products that protect all deployed UK air bases, while contributing to a rapidly growing business with new product developments.

What you’ll be doing

Lead the IAS UK portfolio, overseeing programme delivery, customer satisfaction and commercial performance.
Drive business growth, contributing to 2027 targets of ~£500m in orders and ~£200m in revenue.
Translate customer vision into strategies that deliver sustainable, profitable outcomes for IAS.
Engage senior UK stakeholders across DE&S, Front Line Commands, DSTL and wider defence organisations.
Lead multi‑disciplinary teams with end‑to‑end accountability for orders, sales, EBIT and cash.
Deliver complex bids and programmes using cutting‑edge technologies and innovative approaches.
Strengthen industry partnerships with suppliers, partners and trade bodies.
Ensure governance and compliance across bids, projects, ethics and conduct.
Forecast and align resources with functional heads to ensure capability meets forward load.
Create an environment for innovation where teams can develop and deliver breakthrough solutions.
Contribute to IAS leadership as a key member of the IAS Executive Team and BL (Business Line) COMEX.

What you’ll bring

If you thrive in complex environments, build trusted relationships and lead with clarity and purpose, we’d love to hear from you.

Substantial experience leading large‑scale, complex programmes in defence, aerospace or high‑technology sectors
Proven delivery of multi‑million programmes or portfolios, with accountability for financials, performance and customer satisfaction
Proven executive‑level relationship management and influencing skills
Experience establishing governance frameworks, managing risk and ensuring compliance
Demonstrated ability to lead high‑performing teams in matrix or multi‑disciplinary environments
Strong commercial acumen, with hands‑on experience in contract management, bidding and financial control
Advanced programme management capability (PMI, PRINCE2 or equivalent)
Expertise in budgeting, forecasting, financial analysis and cost control
Outstanding communication skills, able to convey complex information and lead sensitive discussions
Highly developed analytical and critical thinking skills, with sound judgement under pressure

Why this role matters

The UK MOD landscape is complex, fast‑moving and technically demanding — often leading our most advanced developments. You’ll be at the centre of this environment, shaping strategy, enabling innovation and ensuring our teams deliver solutions that meet the UK’s most critical needs.

This is a role for a leader who can navigate complexity, adapt to change, inspire confidence and build the future of IAS UK.

Please visit the UKSV website for further guidance: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/united-kingdom-security-vetting-clearance-levels/national-security-vetting-clearance-levels.

Closing date for applications is Thursday 3rd September.

First stage assessments are planned to take place w/c 14th September.
