As a Senior Product Manager, Forward Deployed, you will own the path from a warfighter problem to a fielded solution. This involves applications, data models, user experiences, integrations, and infrastructure. Most importantly, you will work as a translation layer between the warfighter and the engineering teams. **Responsibilities:** - Own warfighter outcomes, not features. Embed with units, learn the mission, find the problems that matter most, and own them through development, fielding, and the work that comes after. - Build real relationships with the people in the fight. Earn the trust of warfighters, commanders, staff, and subject matter experts. - Conduct research in the field. Learn by watching, asking questions, and taking part in real workflows. Turn what you learn into clear priorities. - Connect the fight to the product. Map the users, decisions, workflows, systems, data, and dependencies behind an outcome, and use that to drive what gets built and integrated. - Design across the whole stack. Determine whether an outcome needs an application change, a new or richer data model, an integration, a workflow that spans applications, or a change in how data moves across the Mesh. - Use the data model as a product tool. Understand what data exists, how it is represented, where it comes from, who uses it, and what has to change to make a workflow possible. - Design for the tactical edge. Account for degraded conditions, bandwidth, latency, and compute when defining a solution. - Pull the right people together. Drive warfighters, engineering, design, and other teams toward one coherent answer. - Make ambiguous problems workable. Be comfortable writing a strategy, sketching a workflow, working through a data flow with an engineer, or standing at a whiteboard with the people who will use the product. - Run the room. Lead workshops, working groups, and design sessions. Get useful information out of a room, settle competing views, and leave with decisions and next steps. - Brief well and tell the story. Communicate clearly to various audiences, adjusting the level of detail without losing substance. - Prototype before spending engineering time. Test ideas quickly with users to get to the right answer faster. - Stay with it through fielding. Watch whether the solution actually helps the mission, find where it breaks under real conditions, and feed that back into the product. - Look past the single request. Spot patterns that can become reusable across units and programs. **Requirements:** - Eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret clearance. - 4 to 8 years in product management, product scope definition, or service design. - A track record of translating technical and domain-specific information into narratives, CONOPS, mission threads, and feature definitions. - Experience doing research and synthesis with users and SMEs, and building a roadmap from what you learn. - A history of earning trust with non-technical, operational users and partnering with them. - The ability to balance needs across engineering, data, and business stakeholders. - Comfort working with people across a wide range of technical backgrounds. - Strong facilitation and whiteboarding skills. - The ability to do your own design work in common tools such as Figma. - Strong organizational skills and reliability. - Willingness to travel up to 50% of the time. **Preferred Qualifications:** - Military experience, or direct experience working alongside operational military units. - A range of product experience across internal tools, customer-facing applications, and tools for technical users. - Working knowledge of data models, system integrations, networking, or distributed and edge systems. - A self-starter who does well with ambiguity and loose organizational structure. - Experience fielding capabilities and improving them based on real operational feedback. **Salary Range:** $144,000-$192,000 USD **Benefits:** Anduril offers a comprehensive, competitive benefits package, including top-tier benefits for full-time employees. ## Skills ### Required - product management - service design - research - synthesis - facilitation - whiteboarding - Figma ### Nice to have - military experience - data models - system integrations - networking - distributed systems - edge systems --- Source: [Apply at job-boards.greenhouse.io](https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/andurilindustries/jobs/5279294007?utm_source=yubhub.co&utm_medium=jobs_feed&utm_campaign=apply)
