Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities through advanced technology. The company's Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system, turns thousands of data streams into real-time 3D command and control centers. Anduril brings cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military. The Growth Operations team builds how the company plans, forecasts, and makes decisions—translating strategy into execution. The team sits at the center of the business, tackling high-impact, often ambiguous problems that directly affect growth, efficiency, and scale. As Senior Manager, Growth Operations, you will lead quantitative deep-dives on high-stakes questions from the C-Suite, structuring analysis, building models, deriving insights, and presenting recommendations that inform major company decisions on long-range planning, portfolio prioritization, and resource allocation. You will lead cross-functional efforts to translate top-line forecasts to downstream implications across the business, running focused strategic sprints addressing complex, evolving questions. You will regularly engage with C-suite leadership, own the analytical rigor behind strategic decisions, and ensure growth planning processes evolve as the business scales. Key responsibilities include: owning ad-hoc strategic projects from C-suite that directly impact top-line growth strategy and business expansion; running strategic sprints on all downstream planning related to ACV forecasts, including tie-in with long-term strategic plans, product mix, and enabling manufacturing and delivery capacity; leading scenario planning efforts to model different growth trajectories, government program office trends, and strategic options; building and refining planning frameworks, forecasting models, and analytical tools used by growth leadership; translating complex analyses into clear, actionable recommendations for executive audiences; leading cross-functional workstreams involving Business Development, Finance, and Operations to ensure alignment on growth priorities; presenting findings and facilitating strategic discussions with senior leadership; and ensuring initiatives move from insight to execution with clear accountability and measurable impact. REQUIREMENTS: - 6+ years of experience in investment banking, private equity, or consulting with additional operational experience at a hyper-growth company (hardware experience is a plus) - Strong quantitative and analytical skills with demonstrated experience in forecasting, financial modeling, and scenario analysis - Proven track record of owning complex, ambiguous initiatives with measurable business impact - Excellent executive communication skills, including the ability to distill sophisticated analyses into clear insights and influence senior stakeholders - High ownership mindset with a bias toward action and an ability to drive projects to completion - Comfortable operating independently in ambiguity and making sound judgment calls with incomplete information - Experience working on growth strategy, revenue operations, or strategic planning initiatives strongly preferred
