## Description

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

We're seeking a Director of Communications, Europe, to build and lead Anduril's external communications presence across the continent.

This is a senior individual contributor role based in Amsterdam, reporting to the VP of Global Communications, with a dotted line to Anduril's European General Manager.

**Responsibilities**

- Build Anduril's European communications program from the ground up, developing strategy, establishing infrastructure, and executing across markets with varying levels of maturity and priority.

- Drive media relations across defense, technology, business, and policy outlets in priority European markets, building the relationships and pipelines that will sustain long-term coverage.

- Develop and execute market-specific narrative strategies that connect Anduril's mission and capabilities to each country's defense priorities, industrial ambitions, and security context.

- Work closely with Anduril's European General Manager and business development teams to support market entry, customer engagement, partnerships, and key events.

- Build and manage a network of regional agencies and contractors as European operations expand.

- Partner with global communications, policy, and marketing teams to adapt core messaging for European audiences without losing coherence or accuracy.

- Engage think tanks, research institutions, and policy communities to build credibility and shape the broader discourse around defense innovation and allied cooperation.

- Own metrics and reporting frameworks to track progress and demonstrate impact across markets.

**Qualifications**

- 10+ years of experience in communications, public affairs, or media relations, ideally with meaningful time spent in defense, national security, or dual-use technology sectors.

- Fluency in the European defense and political landscape across multiple countries, how decisions get made, who shapes opinion, and where the conversation is heading.

- A track record of building communications programs in new markets, not just inheriting them.

- Experience managing agencies, contractors, and regional communications networks across borders.

- Exceptional writing and strategic thinking, with the ability to develop narratives that land across cultures and audiences.

- Comfortable working autonomously in an early-stage market environment, with the judgment to make calls without a lot of process around you.

**Benefits**

- Healthcare Benefits

- Income Protection: Anduril covers life and disability insurance for all employees.

- Generous time off: Highly competitive PTO plans with a holiday hiatus in December. Caregiver & Wellness Leave is available to care for family members, bond with a new baby, or address your own medical needs.

- Family Planning & Parenting Support: Coverage for fertility treatments (e.g., IVF, preservation), adoption, and gestational carriers, along with resources to support you and your partner from planning to parenting.

- Mental Health Resources: Access free mental health resources 24/7, including therapy and life coaching. Additional work-life services, such as legal and financial support, are also available.

- Professional Development: Annual reimbursement for professional development.

- Commuter Benefits: Company-funded commuter benefits based on your region.

- Relocation Assistance: Available depending on role eligibility.

- Retirement Savings Plan
