ABOUT THE TEAM:

ArsenalOS Data (Planning) sits within ArsenalOS and is responsible for building planning software that accelerates the production and delivery of customer-ready hardware. Planning is a foundational capability that underpins everything across the ArsenalOS landscape - connecting engineering, supply, manufacturing, and sustainment into a coherent system that can scale with Anduril's growing portfolio of programs and hardware lines.

ABOUT THE JOB:

We are looking for an experienced Product Manager to own and build out the foundational planning tooling that powers Anduril's operations. This isn't just a greenfield deployment - it's about defining and constructing the planning layer from the ground up while keeping the business running. Everything from the data models to the workflows, integrations, and interfaces that will allow Anduril to plan production at scale.

As the Product Manager for Planning, you will be responsible for Anduril's proprietary planning infrastructure - the systems that translate demand signals into build plans and supply chain purchases. You'll be responsible for working with cross-functional dependencies and giving operators and leaders visibility into what's coming and what's at risk.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

• Defining the foundational architecture of planning tooling determining what needs to be built, what can be integrated, and how planning data flows across supply chain, manufacturing, and sustainment systems
• Developing a long-term strategy that navigates complex product tradeoffs and integration dependencies to stand up a planning capability that can scale with Anduril's production ambitions
• Managing stakeholders' requirements across operations, supply chain, manufacturing, engineering, and finance - synthesizing competing needs into a prioritized backlog that sequences the work and communicate it to the business
• Communicating roadmap, progress, and constraints across a broad set of stakeholders and interested parties as the planning tooling matures from early-stage to production-grade
• Exploring and incorporating cutting-edge technologies from optimization engines, AI-assisted scheduling, and modern data infrastructure. Anything that enables Anduril to plan better and faster.
• Driving adoption and enablement of planning solutions across operations and business teams, recognizing that foundational tools only deliver value when people trust and use them

Product Strategy

• • You can see around the corner for your product, crafting the vision, high-level roadmap, and critical dependencies for 6-12 months into the future. Because you're building the foundation, you'll think carefully about sequencing: what primitives need to exist before more advanced capabilities are possible. You constantly engage with stakeholders to solicit input and buy-in, proactively communicate product goals, and manage expectations for delivery. You escalate large tradeoffs and decision points as needed. You work effectively with many internal teams to synthesize their needs but are never afraid to make important decisions as the owner of your product.

Product Prioritization

• • You work backward from your strategy to set clear outcomes in partnership with your engineering, design, and business partners. You understand that foundational work often competes with urgent operational needs, and you make deliberate choices about when to invest in long-term infrastructure versus short-term relief. You support team structures that allow prioritization of competing work within rapid development cycles, and you consistently let your team flex to adapt goals based on new information.

Problem discovery and Solution Generation

• • You become attached to problems, not solutions. To do this, you seek out real-world context in the form of onsite user research, internal expert feedback, existing product data, and industry investigation. Because planning is inherently cross-functional, you map dependencies and constraints across teams to understand not just what planners need today, but what the system needs to support as Anduril scales. You capture core workflows and translate user needs into well-scoped requirements and success hypotheses.

Product Execution

• • From design to delivery, you fill gaps wherever needed to make your well-scoped solutions a reality. You communicate with internal team members and external stakeholders, approach solutions with humility and creativity in order to hit milestones, and set a high bar for the product you own. Getting the details right matters.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Five to seven years in product management role or similar leading role in product development
• Domain expertise within hardware-related industries, such as production planning, supply chain, manufacturing, or logistics
• Strong understanding of the interplay between enterprise systems, including ERP, MRP/APS, WMS, MES, and PLM-and a point of view on where traditional systems fall short
• Experience building foundational or platform-level products where you had to define core data models, system boundaries, and integration patterns alongside feature development
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to balance requirements across engineering, design, data, and business stakeholders
• Comfortable working with internal and external stakeholders, across a wide range of technical comfort
• Demonstrated success decomposing a problem into addressable component parts and arranging the correct sequencing
• Proven ability to "see around corners" by crafting product strategy for 6-12 months into the future
• Comfort in maturing a product from MVP to enterprise-grade production
• Must be able to travel up to 25% of the time
• U.S. Person status is required as this position needs to access export controlled data

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Experience with production planning, capacity planning, or demand planning systems and methodologies
• Familiarity with optimization, scheduling, or constraint-based planning approaches
• Background in standing up net-new internal tools or platforms in high-growth environments
