Description

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years. ABOUT THE TEAM The Tactical Recon and Strike (TRS) team at Anduril develops aerial small drones (Group 1-3) and all equipment to test, deploy and operate. The team is responsible for taking products like Ghost, Bolt, Anvil, and Altius from paper sketches to operational systems. We work in close coordination with specialist teams to solve some of the hardest problems facing our customers. The TRS Operations team is a small but mighty team of business generalists who ‘solve for scale’ the specific business problems that hamper efficiency or productivity. One project may have you solving staffing inefficiencies across engineering teams, while another project may have you working across manufacturing, supply chain, and quality teams to help address capacity or production challenges. We are looking for an experienced operator to support our TRS Division as Anduril continues to experience rapid growth across all dimensions. WHAT YOU'LL DO Partner with the General Manager and Head of Production to plan, manage, and execute the day-to-day business, ensuring all operations run smoothly. Support our corporate planning cycle by helping to build out and monitor performance against goals, financial plans, and headcount plans so we can hit our aggressive growth targets. Work with Functional leadership to understand employee performance and career development plans so that we can staff the right employees to the right projects at the right time. Collaborate with Account and Product Managers to enhance Anduril's forecasting of engineering labor requirements for development projects, ensuring accurate and efficient resource allocation. Work deeply within data and systems, becoming intimately familiar with how our business systems (ERP, MRP, HRIS, etc.) function, and how to leverage data from them to create insights and analytics (leveraging tools like Excel, Palantir Foundry, etc.), equipping functional teams with these insights and tools to measure and improve their processes. Regularly monitor and analyze recruiting, staffing, and financial progress against plans and provide recommendations to Division leadership for resource reallocation. Work with Anduril’s Business Operations, Analytics, and Finance teams to build out infrastructure to enable the Division to monitor and optimize the demand vs supply of employees. Execute scrappy analyses on short-timelines to get answers quickly, while also owning more scalable solutions that will make Anduril successful in the long term. Own operational projects end-to-end, from Definition, to Solution, to Implementation. These could be across staffing, finance, real estate, or other business infrastructure needs. You will be handed ambiguous, messy problems with little prescription on how to solve them. If this does not excite you, this is not the role for you. Project manage across many stakeholders. If you don’t like being the person leading meetings with large groups of people or managing large Slack channels to wrangle stakeholders towards a solution, this may not be the role for you. REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS You’re highly analytical and love solving complex, cross-functional problems in a people centric way. You’re both high ownership and low ego, approaching everything with strong outcome orientation and high humility. You don’t wait on others to solve problems. You proactively step into the gap to offer solutions yourself. You’re highly detail oriented and data-driven. You’re discerning and an incredibly fast learner. You’re tactical and don’t hesitate to get into the weeds of a problem. You have 4-6 years of varied experience in an operating role at a high-growth technology company, starting a venture, or in finance or consulting. Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance. Ability to support fulltime in McHenry Mississippi.
