Anduril Industries, a defense technology company, is seeking a Planning Program Manager to drive systems, processes, and cross-functional initiatives that power supply planning and operational readiness. This role sits at the center of efforts to scale planning, material readiness, and hardware fulfillment in alignment with rapidly evolving product and deployment needs.
You will work across Supply Chain, Product, Engineering, Finance, and Deployment Operations to ensure timely delivery of the right hardware with minimal friction and maximum scalability. Key responsibilities include leading cross-functional planning projects from kickoff to execution, charting project trajectories, running operational cadences, and identifying and resolving blockers with urgency and precision.
You will design and optimize scalable planning processes for demand, supply, and material planning, collaborating cross-functionally to bridge upstream business capabilities with downstream outcomes. You'll develop and document standard operating procedures and planning tools, then aggressively pursue adoption across the organization.
Partnership with systems and analytics teams is critical—you'll translate planning challenges into system requirements and partner with Business Analytics to implement ERP and planning tool enhancements. You'll support development of dashboards and reporting tools that provide visibility into material availability, constraints, and fulfillment risks.
You'll leverage data to analyze supply-demand imbalances, identify planning gaps, and proactively communicate trade-offs and recommendations to stakeholders. You'll jump between operational value chains including S&OP, NPI planning, and long-range forecasting to drive alignment across business functions.
Continuous improvement is essential—monitor planning KPIs and drive initiatives to reduce waste, improve accuracy, and increase on-time delivery rates. Proactively identify issues and implement fixes.
Required: 6+ years in inventory forecasting, supply planning, or inventory management in hardware/manufacturing; track record of improving forecast accuracy and enforcing accountability; strong data analysis skills; deep familiarity with ERP systems (SAP, NetSuite, Oracle, or similar); high ownership and cross-functional leadership; Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Logistics, Business, Engineering, or related field; eligibility to obtain and maintain U.S. Secret security clearance.
