Business Operations Lead

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

Operations Leads & Managers work directly with General Managers, Division leadership teams, and other Anduril leaders to manage operations for a business line or central function.

Responsibilities

As an Operations Lead, you will be critical to supporting all of these responsibilities. While a specific division or function will be your team, you will often work cross-functionally with leaders and teams throughout the organization to solve messy problems, set up new processes, capture data, action upon it, and enable others to do the same.

• Own operational projects end-to-end, from definition, to solutioning, to implementation. You will be handed ambiguous problems with little prescription on how to solve them.
• Work on strategic problems, providing structure to ambiguity and helping shepherd cross-functional groups of stakeholders towards decisions on strategic issues.
• Work deeply within data and systems, become intimately familiar with how our business systems (ERP, MRP, HRIS, etc.) function, and leverage data from them to execute scrappy analyses on short timelines.
• Project manage across large groups of stakeholders including, leading large meetings, managing large Slack channels, and wrangling stakeholders towards a solution.

Required Qualifications

• 6+ years of working experience with a minimum of 3+ years in a consulting, operations, finance, or product/program management role.
• Demonstrated expertise in stakeholder and executive engagement.
• Strong emotional intelligence and ability to solve operational problems not only from a data-driven lens, but also in a people-centric way.
• Self-driven and relentlessly proactive.
• Enjoy working at a place where no one minds if you leave early one day to go to an appointment or run an errand.
• Have an appetite to build clear frameworks to structure problems.
• Combined ability to execute on a tactical level as well as put together a strategy to solve complex, ambiguous, cross-functional problems.
• A strong communicator across a wide dynamic range.
• High ownership with the horsepower to juggle multiple (3-5+) large projects and priorities in parallel.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance.
