Team Overview

The Deployments / Sustainment team is responsible for fielding Anduril's products to customers. Our core functions span everything from logistics and field operations to product operations and training. This includes site installation, product observability, incident triage, maintenance and repairs, user training, and technical documentation. We work within a broader ecosystem that includes many functional teams across business lines, including Program Management, Engineering, Mission Operations, and Deployments. This team is a crucial component of ensuring customer and mission success, and plays a critical role in shaping how Anduril continues to execute its mission of providing cutting-edge capabilities to the United States and its allies.

Role Specifics

As a Program Manager on the Sustainment team, your mission is to spearhead large-scale, high-impact projects and initiatives from cradle to grave. You will be responsible for taking ambiguous, undefined problems and providing structure and extreme ownership from definition, to solution, and implementation. You will work across various sustainment functions including Product Operations, Training, and Deployments. You should have an aptitude for working with senior leaders across diverse stakeholder groups to achieve strategic objectives. If you are passionate about ground-breaking technology, contributing to the national security missions, interacting alongside professionals that span a wide-range of disciplines, and executing high-leverage strategic initiatives, then Anduril is interested in speaking with you.

What You'll Do

• Manage delivery and implementation of software tooling for Sustainment capabilities across the enterprise
• Take extreme ownership of projects, from definition, to solution and implementation. 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.
• Work on strategic problems, providing structure and shepherding cross-functional groups of stakeholders towards decisions on strategic issues. You will leverage critical thinking to detail implications and tradeoffs of decisions without losing sight of the simple "so what"
• Identify organizational gaps and problems through an intimate, tactical-level understanding of the team's operations, then build consensus and resources to solve these gaps
• Weaponize the large amounts of data collected to create insights that drive business decisions
• Execute ad hoc projects with internal and cross-functional teams to support critical operational and financial decision making.

Required Qualifications

• Demonstrated experience as a self-starter, able to find and resolve issues on your own. Don't wait to be told what to do - we want someone who we have to tell to slow down.
• Extreme ownership and strong aptitude for problem solving in unstructured situations - analysis, developing a solution plan, and executing.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills are required to enable an effective interface with key stakeholders, and all levels of management.
• Analytical rigor and first principles thinking - be resistant to prevailing narratives in favor of unbiased approaches to hard data. Iterate rapidly on hypotheses and pursue dialectical process.
• Mastery in developing and implementing workflows, achieving outcomes, and operational effectiveness.
• 4+ years as cross-functional leader in hardware, software, or peopleware organizations
• Must be able to obtain and hold a US security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with US military, hardware, software interfaces, and product operations are all pluses.
