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 real-time, 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 Air Dominance and Strike Division is one of Anduril’s fastest growing divisions. Our goal is to fundamentally reshape the way future peer-to-peer conflicts are fought by developing next generation collaborative combat aircraft, advanced effects, and the software that powers these autonomous weapons. The AD&S Operations team is a small but mighty team of business generalists who enable the division to scale through hyper-growth while breaking as few things as possible. The Ops team is looking for someone to lead the division’s staffing capability, which is critical in growing this into Anduril’s largest division over the next few years.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Partner with Division and Anduril leadership to build out and run the staffing machine for our organization, enabling efficient recruiting and allocation of resources as the organization scales from 100s to 1000s
• 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
• Enable the Division to recruit at scale by collaborating closely with Anduril’s Recruiting team to ensure the correct types and quantities of new employees are coming in the door and reprioritizing recruiting resources as needed
• 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
• 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 on special projects across staffing, finance, real estate, and other business infrastructure as they arise

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’re highly detail oriented and data-driven
• You’re discerning and an incredibly fast learner
• You’re tactical and don’t only sit at a 30,000 foot level
• You have 1-4 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. Top Secret security clearance
