Description
We are looking for a Deployment Operations Manager to join the Deployment Operations team supporting the Intelligence Systems Business Line. In this role, you will manage the planning and execution of deploying people and hardware in support of a specific program portfolio, partnering closely with Growth, Engineering, Technical Operations, Mission Operations, and Program Security leads to deliver the right hardware and people, on time, to enable mission success.
The work demands strong problem solving, cross-functional collaboration, ruthless prioritization, and an obsession with detail and accountability. This role is ideal for an operations leader who thrives in high-growth, high-stakes environments. You will have a direct impact on mission success, operational efficiency, and the expansion of Intelligence Systems programs across U.S. and allied customers.
As a key leader on the Deployment Operations team, you will be asked to own and manage all deployments tied to your portfolio. You will collaborate cross-functionally across Anduril and develop strong working relationships with Growth, Engineering, Technical Operations, Mission Operations, and Program Security leads to ensure the successful execution of all deployments.
You will be a leader in the Intelligence Systems organization by representing Deployment Operations in program reviews, planning forums, customer engagements, and by setting the operational standard for how programs are fielded and sustained. You will communicate effectively to keep internal and external teams informed at all times. Use the necessary tools (Jira, NetSuite, Airtable, Confluence) and channels (Slack, email, meetings) to ensure stakeholders understand what needs to be accomplished and when.
You will obsess over the details and create structured plans for each and every deployment to ensure that people and hardware are in the right place at the right time. Deploying program hardware requires white glove service where there are no second chances or do-overs.
You will problem solve and remove obstacles for the team and for internal and external partners. Know how to think critically and engage the right teams across the program and the broader Deployments Team to keep the mission moving.
You will drive continuous improvement and consistently look for ways to improve Deployment Operations processes, tools, and trackers. There are constantly new challenges and new products, so always look for ways to ease the burden on our internal customers and scale the function as the portfolio grows.
You will guide and grow a team of Operations & Logistics Associates assigned to the program portfolio through all deployment coordination and requirements. Hire, mentor, and develop individuals on the team, and build the bench needed to scale capacity as programs expand.
