About event

You’ve already sent your resume to defense companies—maybe even several. The only response has been silence.

This doesn’t mean there’s no place for non-technical professionals there. PMs, BAs, QA specialists, ops, HR, and marketers are needed in the industry—Defense Tech is growing, and not just with engineers. The question is rather how exactly those who have already been hired got in.

On July 21, three voices from different levels of the industry will discuss this: the CEO of a cluster that sees staffing shortages across 100+ companies simultaneously, a representative of an R&D team where a technical product is impossible without non-technical people, and a recruiter who reviews resumes from non-technical IT candidates every day.

In this webinar:

— Which non-technical roles are in short supply right now across the entire defense market — What a non-technical specialist’s day-to-day work in an R&D team looks like — What recruiters at defense companies actually look for in resumes and why the IT market’s resume format doesn’t work there — How getting into the industry through networking actually works — An open Q&A session with all three speakers

Who should attend: PMs, BAs, QA specialists, ops, bizdev, HR, and marketers with experience in IT or related fields who want to apply their existing skills where they can have a real impact on the country’s defense.

Speakers:

▪️ Volodymyr Chernyuk, CEO of IRON Cluster — brings together over 100 companies in the defense sector.

▪️ Artem Pidgorodetskyi, Defense tech company (NDA) — experience working in R&D at a full-cycle MilTech company.

▪️ Alina Bogulska, Talent Acquisition Lead, Frontline Robotics — works daily with resumes from non-technical candidates.
