  3. Collaborative partnership - managing customer relationships and shaping the future of the program with the government.

  • Autonomously execute on broad and/or ambiguous requirements from internal engineering, customers, and third party corporate partners to own successful delivery of outcomes on multiple programs simultaneously
  • Monitor and manage program progress across cost, schedule, and resource allocation, making tradeoffs that enable us to deliver best-in-class solutions to our customers on-time and on-budget
  • Develop and implement lightweight processes, tools, and metrics for program planning, scope management, risk management, and customer communication to enable Anduril to move rapidly
  • Be high ownership on all pieces of work and become a trusted partner and advisor to Anduril's engineers
  • Foster a creative, high-performance culture within the team, and proactively assess team skills versus needs, identifying personnel development or recruitment opportunities to strengthen the team's capabilities
  • Collaborate with finance and business development teams to develop novel pricing strategies for proposals that set Anduril up for long term financial and operational success
  • Collaborate with senior management to develop and refine the strategic roadmap for Anduril Air Dominance & Strike R&D investments that underpin the success of our programs
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • Active U.S. Top Secret security clearance
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Business Administration, or a related field (technical background preferred)
  • Minimum of 5 years experience managing the development of complex technical systems throughout the product lifecycle
  • Proven track record of successfully managing complex, multi-million-dollar projects and driving their on-time, on-budget completion
