Description

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

Air Defense is a high-octane, rapidly scaling business line that develops, integrates, and fields an expanding mix of mature and novel capabilities to detect and defeat UAS threats.

As a member of the Special Projects team within Air Defense’s Mission Operations organization, you will be an innovative and independent problem-solver at the forefront of some of our most critical initiatives.

Responsibilities

  • Program Management: You partner with capture, growth, and engineering leads to shepherd emerging proposals into successful programs for the business line’s most strategic priorities.
  • Support Global Growth Initiatives: You will be a trusted consultant and supporting function on the Air Defense Business Line’s products for international development opportunities and for strategic international engagements.
  • Flex Capacity: As Anduril grows, there’s stuff that we haven’t foreseen yet that will need a cross-functional leader to own end-to-end.

Who we’re looking for

  • First Principles Thinker: You break down complex problems into their most fundamental components and build solutions from what is known to be true and makes sense in context, rather than how it has been done in the past.
  • Build with longevity in mind: You build teams and systems that are resilient and scalable beyond your personal involvement.
  • Allergic to ambiguity: You use questions as tools and have a proven track-record of making sound decisions under uncertainty and with limited information.
  • Master Communicator: You are fluent in the fundamental principles of persuasion and have elite writing, speaking, and narrative-crafting skills.
  • Analytical Rigor and Versatility: You’re a dialectical thinker able to properly interpret contradictory information.
  • Demonstrated Humility: You’re not above shouldering more than your share of the task, getting your hands dirty, and you champion the successes of the engineers you lead.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s Degree
  • 4+ years as a cross-functional leader in hardware and/or software organizations
  • Demonstrated success delivering technology to large commercial institutions or government organizations
  • Proven experience leading tech-enabled teams of peers across specializations
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret / Top Secret security clearance
  • Willing to travel up to 50% of the time
