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.

Position Summary

Anduril's real estate portfolio covers 10M sq ft of R&D labs, manufacturing hubs, and offices worldwide. As Execution & Portfolio Management Lead, you'll run our LOI and lease negotiations and manage a portion of the existing portfolio.

You’ll report to the Director of Strategic Real Estate. When the Investments team reaches LOI on a new site, you’ll take over and lead the negotiation through lease execution.

This is a senior negotiation and portfolio strategy role, not lease administration or space planning.

We're looking for someone who has led a large number of office and industrial lease negotiations and can judge which terms matter most for a given site and business need.

The role has room to grow as the portfolio does.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead LOI and lease negotiations for new sites, renewals, expansions, and amendments across office, R&D, and industrial/manufacturing space, working with Investments, Legal, outside brokers, and Design & Construction.
• Standardize how Anduril leases space. Build and maintain template LOIs and lease forms, and set our standard positions and acceptable fallbacks on key terms.
• Manage a portion of the existing portfolio. Own renewals, in-building expansions, contractions, terminations, and subleases, and bring a recommendation on each well before the decision date.
• Own landlord relationships for your sites and resolve issues as they come up.
• Serve as the main real estate contact for division stakeholders at your sites. Understand how each team uses its space and what it will need next, and use that to shape renewal and expansion decisions.
• Track expirations, option and notice dates, termination rights, and other portfolio events, and start decisions early enough to keep our leverage with landlords.
• Work with the planning team to make sure lease decisions line up with the demand forecast.
• Hand signed deals off to Design & Construction for delivery, and stay involved where lease terms affect the build.
• Report on portfolio status and present recommendations to leadership.

Qualifications and Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Real Estate, Finance, Business Administration, Urban Planning, or a related field.
• 7+ years of experience in corporate real estate transactions, tenant or landlord representation, or real estate development or asset management.
• A record of leading office and industrial lease negotiations from LOI through execution, including renewals and expansions.
• Detailed knowledge of commercial lease terms, including TI allowances, renewal and expansion options, ROFO/ROFR, termination rights, operating expense provisions, restoration, and holdover.
• Strong financial analysis of lease options, including net effective rent and NPV comparisons, in Excel.
• Experience working with legal counsel on lease drafting and with brokers on market strategy.
• Ability to travel up to 25% for site visits and landlord meetings.
• U.S. citizenship required; eligibility for security clearance preferred.

Preferred Skills

• Experience leasing manufacturing or R&D space with heavy power, specialized improvements, or build-to-suit components.
• Experience with leases for secure facilities (SCIFs, DCSA requirements).
• Experience building lease templates or standard negotiating positions for a corporate portfolio.
• Comfort using LLMs and data tools to speed up lease review and portfolio reporting.
