Supply Chain Operations Program Manager

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.

You are responsible for getting material through receiving at Anduril's Orange County sites and for getting suppliers to comply with delivery, packaging, and labeling requirements.

Responsibilities

• Own receiving exception throughput for Anduril's sites: triage, drive to resolution, and reduce the recurrence rate of receiving failures
• Own receiving readiness through warehouse consolidation moves, taking migrated part families from cutover to first clean receipt without interrupting production
• Drive supplier execution of Anduril's delivery, packaging, labeling, and serialization requirements, including barcode and traceability marking
• Partner with Supplier Quality Engineering on root cause and corrective action for repeat receiving failures: own the receiving-side evidence, then verify at the dock that the fix held
• Make internal receiving and traceability requirements executable for suppliers through clear part-level instructions, documentation, and training
• Own the rollout of supplier-facing policies and requirements end to end: prioritize suppliers by spend, risk, category, and performance, then build the supplier lists, notices, FAQs, and acknowledgment tracking that move each policy from approved document to live practice
• Triage supplier questions, disputes, and exception requests on policies and requirements, routing each to the right internal owner and seeing it through to resolution
• Automate enforcement workflows, including issue detection, evidence intake, supplier notifications, and charge requests, and enforce supplier policies consistently, assessing recovery and escalating unresolved or repeat problems
• Pull your own data, define the metrics that matter, and publish recurring reporting on receiving performance and policy adoption by site and by supplier that leadership and suppliers both act on
• Identify the system and process defects behind receiving failures and policy non-adoption, build the evidence, and drive them to engineering or systems owners as fixes rather than absorbing them as recurring manual work
• Partner across Material Flow, Supplier Quality Engineering, Supplier Compliance, Procurement, Program Supply Chain, Finance, and IT to get requirements aligned and executed consistently across sites
• Engage suppliers and contract manufacturers directly, including on-site visits, to drive readiness before material ships
• Supply the receiving-side fault evidence that supplier accountability programs depend on, including chargebacks and supplier performance reviews

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in supply chain, industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering, business, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• 3+ years of experience in supply chain, receiving or warehouse operations, logistics, supplier quality, procurement, supplier management, or supply chain analytics
• Hands-on experience with an ERP and/or WMS (Oracle, SAP, NetSuite, Odoo, or similar), including how receiving transactions and purchase order data actually behave
• Strong data skills: advanced Excel, and comfort writing queries or working in SQL, BI tools, or an analytics platform rather than waiting on a report
• Experience working directly with external suppliers or partners on operational requirements, including rolling out and enforcing business processes by documenting them, assigning owners, and getting cross-functional and external teams to follow them
• Clear written and verbal communication, including professional correspondence with suppliers and internal stakeholders
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage many suppliers, deadlines, and open items at once, with a bias for action and comfort creating structure out of ambiguity
• Willing to work on-site daily across warehouse and manufacturing locations in Orange County, with occasional travel to supplier and contract manufacturer sites
• Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in aerospace, defense, or high-mix hardware manufacturing receiving environments
• Working knowledge of packaging, labeling, serialization, barcode and DataMatrix marking, ASN, or supplier portal enablement
• Familiarity with supplier quality and receiving concepts such as NCRs, SCARs, CoCs, and FAI
• Experience through a site consolidation, warehouse move, or ERP/WMS cutover
• Experience with supplier performance metrics or supplier corrective action processes (8D, 5-Why, or equivalent)
• SQL, Python, or experience with Palantir Foundry or a comparable analytics platform
• Lean or Six Sigma training, or demonstrated structured problem solving in a production environment
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
