Executives: German weapons manufacturers are looking for these profiles
The situation on the job market is tense - the defense industry is an exception. A Handelsblatt survey shows what opportunities are available to executives.
The German job market is experiencing difficulties, with nearly three million unemployed people and a loss of around 15,000 jobs per month in the industry. However, the defense industry is bucking this trend, with companies like Rheinmetall and Hensoldt continuing to hire and seek new leadership. The industry is looking for qualified personnel, particularly in areas such as IT, project management, and engineering, and is also open to lateral entrants from other industries, especially those with technical backgrounds.
According to headhunter Eva Brückner, the demand for leadership positions in the defense industry has increased significantly since the start of the Ukraine war in 2022.
