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 Job

This is a high-impact position partnering directly with the Head of Operations for the Quality, Reliability, and System Safety (QRS) organization, the VP of QRS, and QRS leadership. This is a broad role by design. You'll move between financial dashboards, headcount models, facility layouts, and executive communications — sometimes in the same day. You'll work across Anduril's core functions (Finance, Talent Acquisition, Business Operations, Analytics) and interface with division-level leadership to ensure QRS has the infrastructure it needs to hit aggressive growth targets.

What You’ll Do

• Workforce Planning: Own the staffing infrastructure for QRS — managing headcount planning, recruiting coordination with Talent Acquisition, demand/supply forecasting, and charge code governance. Build tooling and processes that enable efficient resource allocation as the organization scales.
• Facilities Operations: Manage QRS’s physical footprint across multiple facilities, including neighborhood management, space planning, and seating coordination for organizational growth.
• Executive Communication: Own and produce weekly leadership updates, monthly operations meeting content, and cross-divisional reporting. Ensure QRS leadership has the information they need to make informed decisions.
• Special Projects: Own operational projects end-to-end — from definition, to solutioning, to implementation. You will be handed ambiguous problems with little prescription on how to solve them. If this does not excite you, this is not the role for you.

Required Qualifications

• You have 3+ years of experience in investment banking, management consulting, internal strategy & operations, or a business analyst role. Experience operating in a high-growth technology company, or starting a venture, are heavily considered.
• You get energy from being a thought partner for others — it excites you to spend time translating operational problems into data problems, and to then going and executing on them.
• You're both high ownership and low ego, approaching everything with strong outcome orientation and high humility.
• You are self-driven and relentlessly proactive. You don't need someone to tell you to "move". You just move. We'd rather have to tell you to slow down than to speed up.
• You enjoy working at a place where no one minds if you leave early one day to go to an appointment or run an errand, but you also don't mind responding to Slacks in the evening while you're watching Netflix.
• You are comfortable communicating broadly and having a lot of eyes on your work. This role can at times require comms to large groups and senior leadership. This should excite you!
• You have an appetite to build clear frameworks to structure problems.
• Aptitude for rapid learning and assimilating new information to swiftly become proficient in unfamiliar subject areas and technologies.
• You have strong analytical aptitude. You intuitively think about problems in terms of numbers and data models, and you are able to quickly execute analyses in Excel or SQL.
• Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities.
