Business Development Manager - Germany

Business Development Manager - Germany

The Role

We are seeking an experienced Business Development Manager to drive growth for KBR’s Mission Technology Solutions (MTS) business in Germany.

Working as part of an expanding European team, you will play a key role in identifying and shaping new opportunities, building strategic relationships, and positioning our organisation as a trusted partner to the Bundeswehr and wider defence community.

Key Responsibilities

  • Identify and develop new business opportunities within the German defence market
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with government, military and industry stakeholders
  • Lead and support bid activity, from early positioning through to proposal submission
  • Monitor market trends, competitor activity and upcoming programmes
  • Maintain a strong pipeline of qualified opportunities

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
