The Chief of Staff, Production is an extension of the SVP of Production, a force multiplier who increases executive leverage across a hyper-growth organization. This role exists to create the operating structure, decision clarity, and organizational follow-through that allow the SVP to operate at the altitude the business demands.

Today, the Anduril Production organization is scaling rapidly. Problems are solved quickly because senior leaders engage directly, but that model doesn't scale.

The Chief of Staff will drive the transition from an organization that depends on executive participation in every thread to one where leaders own outcomes, escalations are high-quality, and the SVP focuses on the decisions only they can make.

This is a role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, structures chaos without slowing things down, and can absorb executive context fast enough to credibly represent the SVP's intent and standards. You are the glue between the SVP, the Production leadership team, and the rest of Anduril, down and in within the org, up and out across the company.

• Context Management: Maintain continuity across every active thread, know what matters, what decisions were made, who owns what, and where escalation is needed. Triage the information overload that floods toward the SVP and proactively surface only what requires their direct engagement.

• Executive Filtering: Determine where the SVP must engage, where they should adjudicate, and where their directs should own resolution. Improve the quality of escalations so that when the SVP is pulled in, the issue is framed, options are clear, and a recommendation is ready.
• Executive Extension: Represent the SVP's viewpoint credibly in internal forums, cross-functional meetings, and leadership discussions. This requires deeply internalizing the SVP's standards, priorities, and decision-making patterns, not just relaying messages.
• Communications & Content: Own communications from the Production leadership team, all-hands content, email updates, and departmental rollouts. Create presentations for QBRs, executive meetings, and offsites. Translate complex operational realities into clear narratives.
• Strategic Initiatives: Lead high-impact, cross-functional initiatives from scoping through execution. Drive strategic projects that don't have a natural owner but are critical to the organization's evolution.
• External Engagement & Events: Plan and execute VIP engagements, customer visits, investor visits, department summits, and all-hands events. Own end-to-end logistics, agenda design, and content curation.
• Organizational Development: Help leaders prepare better, elevate smarter, and own outcomes, so the…
