Anduril Industries, a defense technology company, is seeking an Associate Director of International Project Logistics to build, lead, and scale the company's global logistics operations. This role owns all international project logistics across deployed theaters, establishing a high-performance regional logistics network that operates reliably worldwide.
Key responsibilities include:
**International Project Logistics Leadership**: Lead all international project logistics operations, serving as the enterprise owner and primary point of contact for strategy. Partner with business teams (capture, programs, contracts, supply chain, product) to shape pursuits, scope requirements, and brief leadership on logistics risk, cost, and feasibility. Build repeatable processes, templates, and standards across pursuits and programs. Coordinate project logistics across multiple geographies with regional operations and business line teams. Align with engineering, procurement, and field teams to establish just-in-time material flows and mitigate supply chain bottlenecks.
**Carrier Strategy & Multimodal Execution**: Develop and execute carrier strategy across all modes—over-the-road (LTL, FTL), air, ocean, and parcel. Source, negotiate, and manage relationships with 3PLs, freight forwarders, and last-mile providers. Plan and execute transport of oversized, heavy-lift, and non-standard cargo, including vessel chartering and specialized permits. Direct transportation flows supporting FMS, DCS, and MRO programs worldwide. Drive service-level performance, cost optimization, and capacity planning.
**Logistics Strategy & Network Design**: Design and optimize distribution flows and routing strategies across international theaters. Establish in-country infrastructure—forward stocking locations, bonded warehousing, free-trade zones, and local distribution partners. Identify network efficiency and cost-reduction opportunities. Ensure compliance with international trade laws, import/export documentation, and ITAR export-control regimes. Anticipate transport constraints and formulate contingency plans.
The role requires significant autonomy, sound judgment on novel problems, mentoring and staff development, and representation to senior U.S. Government, partner-nation, and commercial stakeholders.
