Anduril Industries, a defense technology company, is seeking a Strategic Real Estate Execution & Portfolio Management Lead to manage and negotiate a 10M sq ft global real estate portfolio spanning R&D labs, manufacturing hubs, and offices.
You will report to the Director of Strategic Real Estate and own two primary responsibilities: (1) leading LOI and lease negotiations for new sites through execution, working with Investments, Legal, outside brokers, and Design & Construction teams; and (2) managing a portion of the existing portfolio including renewals, in-building expansions, contractions, terminations, and subleases.
Key responsibilities include:
- Lead LOI and lease negotiations for new sites, renewals, expansions, and amendments across office, R&D, and industrial/manufacturing space
- Standardize Anduril's lease approach by building and maintaining template LOIs and lease forms, and establishing standard positions and acceptable fallbacks on key terms
- Manage assigned portfolio sites, own renewals and expansions, and bring recommendations well before decision dates
- Maintain landlord relationships and resolve issues as they arise
- Serve as primary real estate contact for division stakeholders, understanding space usage and future needs
- Track expirations, option dates, notice dates, termination rights, and other portfolio events to maintain leverage with landlords
- Coordinate with planning teams to align lease decisions with demand forecasts
- Hand off signed deals to Design & Construction and remain involved where lease terms affect the build
- Report on portfolio status and present recommendations to leadership
This is a senior negotiation and portfolio strategy role, not lease administration or space planning. The role has room to grow as the portfolio expands.

- Bachelor's degree in Real Estate, Finance, Business Administration, Urban Planning, or related field
- 7+ years of experience in corporate real estate transactions, tenant or landlord representation, real estate development, or asset management

- Detailed knowledge of commercial lease terms including TI allowances, renewal and expansion options, ROFO/ROFR, termination rights, operating expense provisions, restoration, and holdover
- Strong financial analysis skills in Excel, including net effective rent and NPV comparisons
- Experience working with legal counsel on lease drafting and with brokers on market strategy
- Ability to travel up to 25% for site visits and landlord meetings
- U.S. citizenship required; eligibility for security clearance preferred
Preferred Skills:
- JD or real estate license
- Experience leasing manufacturing or R&D space with heavy power, specialized improvements, or build-to-suit components
- Experience with leases for secure facilities (SCIFs, DCSA requirements)
- Experience building lease templates or standard negotiating positions for a corporate portfolio
- Comfort using LLMs and data tools to speed up lease review and portfolio reporting
