Executives: German arms manufacturers are looking for profiles like these
The situation on the job market is tense - the defense industry is an exception. A Handelsblatt survey shows what opportunities are available to executives.
In Berlin, the German job market is struggling with over three million unemployed individuals. The industry sector alone loses around 15,000 positions monthly, according to the Institute for Employment Research (IAB). This trend affects many managers, with the number of unemployed managers increasing by 14% across industries within a year, according to recent employment data analyzed by the Federal Employment Agency exclusively for the Handelsblatt.
However, one sector has remained unaffected by this downward trend: the arms industry. While other industries are downsizing, German arms manufacturers are hiring and actively seeking new managers. According to Handelsblatt information and a survey conducted with several German arms companies, there is a high demand for managers in various areas.
The profiles of companies like Rheinmetall and Hensoldt, the benefits of taking a leadership position in the arms industry, and the sectors where cross-industry applicants can find opportunities are all outlined.
