Job 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 Role

We are seeking a Logistics Specialist to join the Australia logistics function within Deployment Operations. This is not a traditional specialist role - you will build the systems, automation, and analytical infrastructure that enables a lean logistics team to operate at the scale and speed Anduril demands. Working alongside the Senior Logistics Manager and Senior Logistics Coordinator, you will own the logistics technology and data layer: designing dashboards and KPI frameworks, building Python-based automation to eliminate manual work, configuring and optimising ERP and TMS platforms, and developing the processes and tooling that make the entire function more effective. You will also provide operational coverage for the Senior Coordinator during leave, travel, or surge periods - stepping into day-to-day freight coordination and handling real-time requests as needed. This is a high-impact role for someone who thinks in systems and solves problems with data. You will have significant autonomy to design how logistics operates in Australia, with direct visibility into the function's strategic direction and a clear path to grow your impact over time.

What You'll Do

Systems & Technology

• Own the logistics systems landscape - ERP/TMS configuration, integration design, and ongoing optimisation
• Evaluate, implement, and maintain logistics technology solutions that improve operational efficiency
• Manage system data quality, master data, and integration points across logistics platforms
• Provide system support and training to the logistics team and cross-functional users
• Contribute to technology roadmap decisions alongside the Senior Logistics Manager

Automation & Tooling

• Build Python-based automation for reporting, data pipelines, and repetitive operational workflows
• Develop and maintain operational tools that reduce manual effort and improve accuracy
• Create automated alerts, exception reports, and escalation triggers for freight operations
• Design reusable templates and toolkits that standardise how the team works

Analytics & Reporting

• Design and maintain logistics dashboards and KPI frameworks (Power BI or similar)
• Track and report on cost per shipment, on-time delivery, transit time, carrier reliability, and claims rate
• Analyse freight spend data to identify cost drivers, savings opportunities, and efficiency improvements
• Deliver weekly operational and monthly executive reporting cadences
• Support freight accruals, invoice reconciliation, and financial reporting processes
• Contribute to carrier benchmarking, rate analysis, and RFP processes with data and insights

Process Design & Continuous Improvement

• Develop and maintain standard operating procedures, logistics playbooks, and process documentation
• Identify and implement process improvements to streamline operations, reduce cost, and enhance service quality
• Conduct root-cause analysis of operational exceptions, system failures, and process breakdowns
• Lead continuous improvement initiatives using data-driven methods

Operational Coverage & Support

• Provide operational coverage for the Senior Logistics Coordinator during leave, travel, or surge periods
• Step into day-to-day freight coordination across all modes (road, air, ocean, parcel) when required
• Handle real-time and ad-hoc operational requests - carrier escalations, urgent shipment coordination, stakeholder queries
• Support compliance coordination with Anduril’s Compliance function on import/export matters during coverage periods
• Maintain continuity of freight documentation, carrier communication, and shipment tracking during all coverage periods

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Logistics, Information Systems, Business, Engineering, or related field
• 4+ years of experience in supply chain, logistics, or operations with demonstrated systems and analytics capability
• Strong proficiency in Python for automation, data analysis, and operational tooling
• Experience with data visualisation and reporting tools (Power BI, Tableau, or similar)
• Experience with ERP systems - implementation, configuration, or operational use (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, or similar)
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate data into operational decisions and process improvements
• Demonstrated ability to design and implement business processes and standard operating procedures
• Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and cross-functional collaboration skills
• Ability to work autonomously in a lean, fast-paced, high-growth environment
• Comfortable operating across both systems/analytics work and hands‑on operational execution when needed
• Must be an Australian citizen and eligible for Australian Government security clearance (NV1/NV2)

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in logistics, freight, or transportation operations (international freight exposure highly valued)
• Familiarity with TMS platforms and freight management systems
• Experience in defence, aerospace, or high-technology environments
• Familiarity with import/export processes, customs requirements, or trade compliance (AQIS, ABF, ITAR)
• Exposure to Lean/Six Sigma or continuous improvement methodologies
• Postgraduate qualification in Supply Chain, Project Management, or MBA
• Experience building operational tooling in enterprise retail, manufacturing, or defence supply chains
