Jobbeschreibung

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

Anduril Maritime delivers platforms, systems, and integrated effects in the maritime domain. Our autonomous vehicles (sub-surface and surface) are the cornerstone of these capabilities, and we continually strive to push the boundaries of the possible in terms of endurance,autonomyand mission capability. The Maritime team develops andmaintainscore products andpayloads andadapts and applies those products to serve a wide variety of defense, IC and commercial customers in US and international markets.

ABOUT THE JOB

We are seeking a Director, Maritime Business Development (Strategy) to join our team to shape, capture, and grow new maritimeconcepts,productsandfuturebusiness lines. This is a zero-to-one role. You will partner with engineering, product, and division leadership to define the customer set, translate customer mission requirements into a credible product strategy, build the partnerships required to deliver the capability, and lead the captures that turn the concept into a program of record.

Success in this role requires comfort operating at the intersection of strategy and emerging technology — you will need to be conversant in the technical reality of what makes these systems work, the operational reality of how customers will use them, and the programmatic reality of how the U.S. governmentand commercial customersacquirefirst-of-kind capability. The role asks for a leader who is energized by greenfield problems and is willing to roll up their sleeves and build acapability andprogram from scratch.

If you have spent time inconsulting,defense business development, commercial maritime, government program acquisitions, defense strategy, or the intersection of advanced technology and national security, and you are looking for a role where the strategy,customer relationships and the technical shaping all sit in the same seat, this is the role for you.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Originate and shape business opportunities. You will own the front end of the pipeline for the Maritime Division:identifyingwhere the next programs and markets will form, then building the engagement strategy to get there first. You will develop a deep, current view of the client base, the programmatic and technical roadmap, and a shifting competitive landscape, and translate that view into a deliberate set of pursuits. You willinitiateand sustain executive-level engagements with existing and prospective customers, read buying cycles before they open, and lead the response strategy for RFIs, RFPs, RFWPs, and unsolicited proposals that position Anduril to win.
• Ownthe growth strategy. Build and execute a cohesive, data-driven strategy to shape, capture, and close emerging growth opportunities in new or existing markets that allow the Maritime Division to penetrate, expand, and deliver Anduril’s best-in-class warfighting capabilities to defense and commercial customers.
• Stand upnew programsfrom scratch. Lead the rapid shaping, capture, design, and prototyping of new commercial and defense products where a program or markethas tobe grown from scratch or from early requirements, partnering with Government Relations, Marketing, and Communications to bring it to life.
• Expand into adjacent demand. You will work alongside other business lines and product engineers to find new growth inside existing accounts: not just scaling currentprograms, butusing established client relationships as a wedge into new mission areas and budget lines they have not yet opened to us. You will turn trusted access into new program starts.
• Shape the market narrative. YourepresentAnduril to clients, partners, competitors, and the public, but the goal is more than communication: you will frame the problems, concepts of operation, and requirements that move customers toward the capabilities we build. You will use insight and a clear point of view to educate the market and create demand where a category does not yet exist.
• Define what we build next. You will sit between emerging customer problems and the engineering organization, translating early, ill-defined needs into a concrete product thesis and roadmap. You will decide which signals are real, convert them into requirements engineering can act on, align internal priorities and stakeholders behind them, and hold the new effort to its key milestones.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• The ideal candidate will be a proven development and growth leader with prior experience in commercial or DoD Capture and Sales, demonstrating a track record of shaping a capability from concept through funded prototyping or program of record start, particularly with an emphasis on the US Navy as a customer.
• Demonstrated knowledge of defense acquisition, includinga track recordof zero-to-one program growth: taking a capability from concept or early requirements through funded start.
• Prior experience developing emerging concepts into tangible strategies and pursuits for 2027 and beyond
• Familiarity with the full product lifecycle, from concept and prototyping through fielding and sustainment, and the ability to work across engineering, capture, and operations to move a new effort through it.
• Demonstrated high-energy, high-ownership leader who will drive performance andexhibitstrong management skills witha high levelof emotional intelligence. Must be able to work in a fast-paced, highly entrepreneurial, and creativeenvironment, and be able to build, adapt, and implement new and innovative approaches to market.
• Excellent writingandcommunication skills with experience briefing 3-star+ customer stakeholders and C-suite internal stakeholders.
• Demonstrated knowledge of relevant DoD / IC / Commercial programs,platformsand payloads, to include enabling technologies, systemsintegrationand software development.
• Ability to travel 20-50%.
