Role

Who you are

  • Minimum of 4-6 experience in management consulting, strategy, internal operations, or program management
  • You are motivated by our mission. We are working to solve the biggest problems in defense
  • You thrive in cross-functional projects that have a heavy combination of technical requirements and user-focused workflows
  • You get energy from being a thought partner for others and it excites you to spend time creating process
  • You are empathetic: you are eager to see the world from your users’ perspective
  • You love solving complex, ambiguous, cross-functional problems in a people-centric way
  • You’re both high ownership and low ego, approaching everything with strong outcome orientation and high humility
  • You don’t wait on others to solve problems. You proactively step into the gap to offer solutions yourself
  • You are comfortable communicating broadly and having a lot of eyes on your work. This role can at-times require communications to large groups and senior leadership. This should excite you!

What the job involves

  • We are looking for a People Program Manager to join our rapidly growing team. From talent acquisition to compensation, you'll dive deep into our most critical workflows, emerging as the go-to expert for all things People Programs.
  • With your strong foundation in project management, a keen understanding of data analysis, and a commanding executive presence you will drive program initiatives, oversee project execution, and communicate effectively with senior stakeholders
  • You’ll both lead and help on critical projects for leaders in our People org, requiring you to quickly learn new subject matters and create priorities in an ambiguous environment
  • You have an insanely high execution bar and will see projects through from conception to tactical completion to move Anduril forward
  • You’ll use your qualitative and quantitative skill set to help design key analysis to influence and execute on operational decisions, and partner with analysts to execute
  • You will utilize your project management expertise to develop structured and meticulous processes using project briefs, trackers, and data mapping, ensuring timely and on-schedule project delivery
  • You'll continuously use your creativity to craft compelling narratives that convey a clear vision, story, or request
  • You’ll communicate across teams, bridging different parts of the organization to achieve cross-functional outcomes
  • Own operational projects end-to-end, from Definition, Solution, to Implementation. You will be handed ambiguous, messy problems with little prescription on how to solve them

Our take

Anduril makes hardware and software for defense agencies including the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security. Its hardware products include specialist drones with a long flight time and surveillance towers.

This hardware is tied together by proprietary software, the Lattice platform, which uses sensor fusion, machine learning, and mesh networking to integrate real-time data from Anduril hardware and third-party systems into a single, autonomous operating picture. While the hardware observes and detects, the software can make decisions as to the threat level of any anomalies, and so allow for observation and protection of an area or building with minimal manpower.

Anduril closed a Series E funding round in 2022 led by Valor Equity Partners. This funding was used for research and development of its autonomous defense products, such as the Roadrunner, a modular twin-jet powered autonomous vehicle that can take off and land vertically. Variants of the Roadrunner include defensive warhead armed interceptors which are the first drone weapons that can be retrieved after deployment. The company has also expanded to Australia where it is working in tandem with the Australian Defence Force to improve its military technology and infrastructure and is recruiting talent worldwide to support its rapidly growing portfolio of defense projects.
