We are hiring a Deployment Lead to own end-to-end readiness and the day-to-day operating picture for a portfolio of deployment sites. This is a deeply technical, field-facing program role. You will be the primary site liaison, orchestrating people, access, equipment, logistics, schedules, technical support, and customer communication from the first survey through deployment and sustainment. **Responsibilities** - Serve as the accountable program liaison for assigned sites, establishing trusted relationships with customer points of contact, operators, local support teams, and internal stakeholders. - Lead site surveys and readiness reviews; translate power, cooling, rack space, network, access, security, shipping, travel, and staffing conditions into an owned action plan. - Maintain authoritative site profiles covering points of contact, access procedures, technical configuration, frequently asked questions, travel, logistics, shipping, open actions, and operational history. - Plan and coordinate deployments, ground tests, live-fire exercises, customer visits, training events, and sustainment activities, including agendas, staffing, access, travel, equipment, and after-action follow-through. - Build and manage integrated schedules, readiness gates, dependencies, risks, decisions, and issue-resolution plans across concurrent sites and events. - Coordinate purchase requests, purchase orders, shipping, receiving, material staging, and local logistics while maintaining clear ownership and traceability for site equipment. - Partner with Deployment Operations to itemize new hardware, establish catalog and part records, verify asset accountability, and ensure equipment is eligible and compliant for customer-facing growth events. - Orchestrate engineering and Site Reliability Engineering support for node flashing, installation, troubleshooting, hardware replacement, and return-to-service activities. - Develop and maintain reusable site-survey guides, technical orientation materials, exercise-support playbooks, end-user troubleshooting manuals, and controlled emergency-access procedures. - Own user-feedback intake and after-action reviews; turn observations into prioritized, traceable actions and clearly distinguish site-support needs from product-roadmap decisions. - Provide concise status, risk, and readiness reporting through a deployment calendar, near-term action board, and six-month look-ahead for leadership and cross-functional teams. **Required Qualifications** - 5+ years of experience in technical program management, field operations, deployment operations, systems integration, or a comparable role delivering complex hardware and software capabilities. - Demonstrated ownership of multi-site or multi-event execution involving customers, engineering teams, logistics, access constraints, and time-critical dependencies. - Working knowledge of integrated hardware, software, networking, and data-center or field-site infrastructure; able to understand technical architecture and ask the questions that reveal execution risk. - Experience building executable plans, schedules, readiness criteria, risk registers, decision logs, and clear status reporting in an ambiguous environment. - Ability to build trust with government customers and end users, lead through influence, and resolve issues without waiting for perfect information. - Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to brief technical, operational, and executive audiences. - Ability to travel 30–50%, work non-standard hours during major events, and operate on site in classified or controlled environments. - Currently possesses and is able to maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance and is eligible to obtain a Top Secret clearance. **Preferred Qualifications** - Experience deploying distributed command-and-control, edge-compute, sensor, communications, or other mission systems in DoD environments. - Experience planning site surveys for data-center or integration-lab environments, including rack, power, cooling, network, and physical-security requirements. - Experience supporting developmental test, operational test, range activities, ground test, or live-fire exercises. - Familiarity with asset management, serialization, barcode-based inventory, hardware configuration records, procurement, and reverse logistics. - Experience with Jira, Confluence, Smartsheet, Microsoft Project, or equivalent tools for execution and knowledge management. - Working knowledge of RMF, classified handling, controlled data movement, courier procedures, or secure shipping requirements. - PMP, CAPM, or comparable program-management certification. **Benefits** At Anduril, we invest in our people.
