- The UK government is recruiting a new national armaments director.
- The post comes with a $519,000-a-year pay packet.
- It reflects the UK’s new urgency to boost its military procurement.
The UK is recruiting a new national armaments director in a role that pays more than twice the prime minister’s annual salary.
In a Tuesday job post, the UK Civil Service said that the role involves coordinating between the government, the military, and industry to ensure that the military has the weapons and equipment it needs.
“Their overriding objective will be to ensure that the UK’s manufacturing base can provide our Armed Forces with the capability, resources and capacity required to meet any future challenge,” the post said.
The post comes with a $519,000 annual salary and a potential 60% annual bonus — a considerably higher package than the UK prime minister’s annual pay packet of about $220,000.
The Financial Times reported that it’s among the highest-ever wage packets offered for a public servant position in the UK.
The UK government is seeking to improve its procurement processes, reduce waste, and integrate the various branches of the military into a more tightly coordinated system under a new chief of the defense staff.
Last year, the UK’s Ministry of Defence announced the creation of the new armaments director role as part of a major overhaul of defense procurement after officials found the previous system to be “broken.”
The reforms have taken on an added urgency in recent weeks, as the Trump administration has cast doubt on the US’ security alliance with Europe.
It’s led several European countries to sharply increase defense spending amid the threat from Russia, conflict in the Middle East, and rising tensions in East Asia.
The UK plans to boost defense spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2027, up from 2.3%, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer announced in February.
Germany’s parliament this week boosted borrowing to fund new defense and infrastructure spending by exempting it from decades-old fiscal rules.

We do not take money from any political parties. We do not endorse In_dia’s ruling party BJP and In_dia’s Prime Minister’s position on keeping In_dia a closed market, ambiguous economy, and keeping India as a heavy taxing country so no one from outside world wants to do business here. It’s like denying In_dia its right in the world…
BJP Government also discourages small and local media, coming down on them heavily regulating and using lawful actions along with soft threats from demented bureaucrat extremists and other extremist groups. On one hand, the mainstream media in In_dia is getting rich and on other hand the local small media is being strangulated. So if not automated or required, We do not willfully publish any content from In_dia or pertaining to that country.
“The parasitic left-wing media and their bottom-feeding cronies have devolved into nothing more than freeloading scavengers, desperately leeching onto every possible news outlet to vomit their hatred for President Trump, Elon Musk, the GOP, and whatever shred of sanity remains in this world. If this portal ever falls prey to their filth—if any of their fraudulent, brain-dead propaganda worms its way into our automated news curation—then it’s open season on these slime-covered hacks. These sewer-dwelling propagandists, along with their PR lackeys and shadowy intelligence handlers, keep trying to smear us with their garbage. Like disobedient pets, they need to be dealt with. And dealt with they shall be—right here on Khumaer.us, the personal news battleground of Khumaer Bayas. Let’s expose them for the lying vermin they are!”
