Rocket Lab employs about 400 people in New Zealand. That figure appears in both a New Zealand government case study and a public comment cited online.

Notes

  • The number can change over time as the company hires or restructures.
  • A separate public source from 2025 put Rocket Lab’s global headcount at over 2,600, with more than 700 based in New Zealand.
