Führungskräfte: Nach diesen Profilen suchen deutsche Waffenhersteller

Berlin's labor market has been experiencing a crisis, with unemployment currently sitting just under three million people. The industry sector is shedding around 15,000 jobs per month, according to the Institute for Employment Research (IAB). This downturn is affecting a significant number of managers as well, with the number of managers seeking unemployment benefits rising by 14% across industries in a year, as revealed by recent employment data analyzed exclusively by the Handelsblatt for the German newspaper.

However, one sector remains immune to this downward trend: the armaments industry. While other industries are cutting staff, German arms manufacturers are continuing to hire and seeking new leaders. According to Handelsblatt's information and a survey conducted among several German arms companies, demand is high in various fields.

The profiles of the managers that companies like Rheinmetall or Hensoldt are looking for, the benefits of a leadership position in the arms industry, and the areas where cross-industry newcomers can find good opportunities are all covered in this overview.
