Anduril Industries, a defense technology company, seeks an exceptional Regional Train and Advise Lead based in Abu Dhabi to oversee the successful implementation and adoption of advanced Air Defense and Counter-Intrusion systems across the Middle East region. This is a unique operational leadership role that bridges command-level strategic advising with hands-on technical deployment, integration, training, and operational support.
You will oversee delivery of comprehensive technical training tailored for Middle East military users at all levels, including Train the Trainer courses, operational playbooks, and localized materials in regional languages. You'll conduct operational needs assessments to identify training requirements, capability gaps, and opportunities for enhanced system utilization while tracking adoption metrics and user feedback.
A core responsibility is building and maintaining strategic relationships with military leadership, operational staff, and end-users, serving as a trusted liaison between Anduril and regional partners. You will provide operational advisory support on mission planning, CONOPs, SOPs, and TTPs, mentoring regional partners to ensure sustained adoption and expert utilization of Anduril systems aligned with their organizational structures.
As the regional subject matter expert, you'll ensure cultural sensitivity and strategic alignment while identifying emerging opportunities, risks, and evolving requirements impacting program success. You'll support rapid system deployment in austere and operationally demanding environments, troubleshooting technical issues and ensuring maximum uptime during critical operations.
You will gather and translate field feedback from customers into actionable requirements for engineering and product teams, proactively identifying technical risks and advocating for solutions meeting regional demands. Cross-functional collaboration with Mission Operations, Engineering, Product, and Growth teams ensures Middle East operational insights inform site surveys, product roadmaps, and service offerings.
Required qualifications include fluency in Arabic, demonstrable experience operating within the Middle East region in train and advise, liaison, field engineering, system integration, or foreign engagement capacities. You must have extensive experience navigating complex interagency, international, and cross-cultural environments with emphasis on defense-related train and advise support to foreign militaries. Demonstrated success building and maintaining high-level relationships with government and military staff in the Middle East, experience leading and conducting training for regional militaries, and familiarity with training design and delivery are essential. Extensive travel throughout the Middle East and internationally is required.
