Full Job Description
ABOUT THE TEAM

Anduril's ArsenalOS team builds the digital infrastructure that powers how Anduril designs, sources, manufactures, delivers, and sustains hardware at scale. We are not a traditional internal IT organization. We build, buy, customize, integrate, and operate the systems that make Anduril's physical operations faster, more reliable, and more scalable.

ABOUT THE JOB:

We are hiring a Director of Supply Chain Systems to own the digital portfolio that powers Anduril's supply chain: supplier collaboration, procure-to-pay, logistics, inventory visibility, and supply-chain workflow automation. This role will be responsible for turning a rapidly scaling, high-complexity supply chain into a durable operating advantage. You will own the roadmap, operating model, stakeholder relationships, and execution strategy for systems including our supplier portal, key ERP procure-to-pay workflows, logistics systems capabilities, and custom workflow/analytics applications such as buyer workbenches, supplier visibility, and inventory health tooling. This is a role for someone extremely comfortable in being the glue between domains and systems. The role is not to "own the ERP" or "run the TMS." The role is to help Procurement, Supply Chain, Warehousing, Logistics, Manufacturing, Finance, and Planning win by building the right digital workflows across all of those systems.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:
  • Own the supply-chain systems strategy and roadmap across supplier collaboration, procure-to-pay, planning/forecasting, logistics, inventory visibility, and analytics-driven workflow applications.
  • Lead the cross-functional technology team responsible for delivering, operating, and improving supply-chain systems, including product managers, software engineers, ERP/PLM developers, designers, analytics engineers, etc.
  • Partner deeply with Supply Chain, Procurement, Planning, Warehousing, Logistics, Finance/AP, Manufacturing, Data, Engineering, and Security to understand the real operational constraints and build systems that solve the actual workflow, not just the stated request.
  • Create durable mechanisms for prioritization, intake, roadmap management, stakeholder alignment, and operational support without turning the org into a slow process machine.
  • Coordinate with your peers within ArsenalOS to determine best path forward for solutions that include Supply Chain.
  • Translate messy operational problems into clear system designs, phased execution plans, and measurable business outcomes.
  • Drive operational excellence through robust systems and processes.
  • Ensure data quality, system reliability, integration design, access controls, auditability, and support models are treated as first-class product requirements.
  • Use AI, automation, and workflow redesign to reduce manual coordination, improve decision velocity, and make buyers, planners, warehouse operators, and supply-chain leaders dramatically more effective.

What success looks like
    • Buyers and supply chain teams have a single, trusted operating view of what needs attention, what is late, what is constrained, and what decision needs to be made next.
    • Supplier collaboration improves materially: suppliers can provide better status, capacity, fulfillment, and delivery visibility with less manual chasing.
    • Procure-to-pay workflows become faster, cleaner, and more controlled without creating unnecessary bureaucracy.
    • Logistics tooling evolves from reactive coordination to proactive visibility and optimization.
    • Leaders can see the health of supply, inventory, receiving, and material movement without needing bespoke spreadsheets, side-channel updates, or manual data scrubs and are able to make decisions quickly.
    • The team is known for measurable business impact, not just launches, tickets closed, or system uptime.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • 7+ years of experience leading systems, product, business applications, or technology teams supporting complex physical operations such as supply chain, procurement, logistics, warehousing, manufacturing, field operations, etc.
  • Strong understanding of one or more of the following domains: supplier management, procurement, warehouse operations, logistics, inventory management, supply planning, or material movement.
  • A track record of solving cross-functional operational problems where the answer required more than one system, team, or process change.
  • Strong product and systems judgment: you can distinguish a local workaround from a durable platform capability, and you know when to ship the pragmatic version now versus invest in the scalable version later.
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity, making decisions with incomplete information, and adjusting quickly as facts change.
  • High agency and ownership. You do not wait for someone else to clarify every dependency, resolve every disagreement, or hand you a perfect roadmap.
  • Ability to go deep enough in the details to maintain quality without becoming a bottleneck or micromanager.
  • A builder mindset. You are not satisfied with installing software and calling it done; you customize, integrate, automate, and rethink workflows to make the business materially better.
