Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities through advanced technology. The Connected Warfare division builds systems for global command and control missions, creating joint, time-sensitive, multi-domain connected mesh ecosystems. Anduril Expeditionary Systems focuses on edge warfighting capabilities, with Menace being a containerized system that deploys rapidly with minimal site preparation.
The Containerized Effects team focuses on clandestine transport, storage, and launch of containerized effects—where "effect" refers to the outcome (missiles, electronic warfare, etc.), not the mechanism. As Senior Program Manager, you will lead day-to-day coordination and execution of program initiatives across Anduril teams and subject matter experts.
Key responsibilities include:
- Lead coordination and execution of program initiatives spanning multiple Anduril teams and SMEs
- Provide guidance and direction to program team members including finance, division operations, mission operations, and other stakeholders
- Work closely with Mechanical, Electrical, Systems, and Software Engineering teams to mature containerized effect programs from prototype to production
- Develop strong system-level understanding of business lines and products; become a power user of Anduril's products and teach others
- Deeply understand customer objectives, constraints, and perspectives
- Serve as Action Officer for special projects
- Drive and set communication standards across the team, within Anduril, and with key customer and government points of contact
- Ensure compliance with relevant regulations, policies, and procedures
- Identify and mitigate risks and issues impacting program delivery
- Continuously seek process improvement and efficiency opportunities
Required Qualifications:
- Demonstrated experience as a self-starter, able to find and resolve issues independently
- Excellent written, visual, and verbal communication skills
- Strong aptitude for problem-solving in unstructured situations at the hardware-software interface; ability to drive challenging and vague technical problems to clarity and resolution
- Experience in Program Management and contract management with focused program offices
- Experience with government: business development, contract structures, budget cycles, procurement processes, program funding, and proposal processes
- Comfortable setting and achieving goals in complex, fast-moving environments with ambiguous requirements
- Adaptive and introspective; willing to learn, teach, lead, and follow
- Active U.S. Secret clearance (required)
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience as a program or project manager in defense, tech, consulting, or similar field
- Experience managing complex projects in government
- Strong technical background with familiarity in systems engineering, software development, networking, and hardware engineering
