«Modern warfare is not just about weapons. It’s data and speed of decisions that provide a technological advantage on the battlefield. That’s why we are forming a systemic IT vertical in the army,» Fedorov noted.
He reported that the Ministry of Defense seeks to accelerate digital transformation in the Defense Forces, so the army needs more than 2,000 IT professionals who will implement digital products and systems at all levels: from battalions to commands.
According to Fedorov, the IT vertical will allow faster implementation of solutions, receive high-quality feedback from the battlefield, and scale effective tools. Among the open vacancies are positions for digital transformation managers, project managers, data analysts, business analysts, product specialists, and others.
Active military and civilian IT personnel who join the Defense Forces through mobilization or contract can join IT.
Recall that last fall, Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine for Digitalization Oksana Ferchuk said that the Ministry of Defense is planning an IT reform, which involves the introduction of digital officer positions up to the battalion level.
The Ministry of Defense previously announced that it is looking for new specialists for its digital and analytical teams. The list includes more than 30 vacancies for IT specialists, including civilian positions with reservations and positions involving contract service.
