By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years. ### ABOUT THE JOB We are looking for a business operations generalist to join our rapidly growing Maritime Division Operations team in **Costa Mesa, CA**. In this role, you will specifically be responsible for supporting our cross-divisional Maritime Digital Production team to include Arsenal-2 development. The Maritime Division Operations team is a small but mighty team of talented business generalists who enable the division to scale through hyper-growth while breaking as few things as possible. We’re looking for someone to help us build out the business infrastructure required to grow this into Anduril’s largest division over the next few years. Our goal is to fundamentally reshape the way future peer to peer conflicts are fought by developing next generation undersea and surface capabilities — such as our XL-AUV, Copperhead, and Seabed Sentry platforms. #### WHAT YOU’LL DO - Lead various global strategic initiatives and special projects, as directed by the Head of Maritime Digital Production and the Head of Division Operations and Division Operation Leads, to establish scalable operations across the portfolio of digital manufacturing initiatives - You will act as the connective tissue to coordinate across Digital Production, Arsenal 2, and CorpTech in support of implementation of new processes, strategy, projects, and execution plans across stakeholders and often ‘gray area’ scope - This role will entail periodic travel to Baltimore, MD - Coordinate and prepare for executive leadership meetings, including setting agendas, tracking action items, and ensuring follow-through - Support internal team operations like new employee onboarding, all hands, internal business reviews, and other division-wide events so that we rapidly ramp new employees and maintain a culture of “doing things differently” - Support our corporate planning cycle by helping to build out and monitor performance against goals, financial plans, and headcount plans so we can hit our aggressive growth targets - Own the "everything else" portfolio and serve as the division's operational Swiss Army knife—whether it's launching a new facilities, orchestrating visits from senior government officials, or solving supply chain emergencies, you'll be the go-to person for critical initiatives that need to happen fast #### REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS - You have 3+ years of experience in consulting, operations, finance, or general business analysis, and can operate independently on a wide range of responsibilities. - 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 - Comfortable with radical autonomy: you'll receive a problem statement and expected outcome, then own everything in between - You get energy from being a thought partner for others and it excites you to spend time translating operational problems into data problems, and to then going and executing on them - You’re discerning and an incredibly fast learner with ability to context-switch between different geographies and stakeholders - You’re tactical and don’t only sit at a 30,000 foot level - Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities #### PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS - 5+ years of experience and a Bachelor's degree or equivalent education/work experience - Exposure to real estate planning, development, or build - Exposure to digital development sprints and digital build processes US Salary Range $147,000—$196,000 USD The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only. Actual salary offer may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations.
