About The Role:

We are looking for a Senior Operations & Logistics Associate to join our rapidly growing team. As Operations & Logistics, you are the dependable backbone of deployment execution, you don't just follow processes, you understand why they exist and how to adapt them.

• Systematically manage forward-deployed inventory to support ongoing customer contracts, sustainment operations, and maintenance activities. Ensure physical hardware status is accurately mirrored within systems (Oracle ERP, Odoo, Salesforce).
• Collaborate cross-functionally across Anduril and externally with customers and key stakeholders to successfully execute the logistics movements of all deployments both domestic and international. Build productive working relationships with Product, Engineering, Growth, Technical Operations, and warehouse partners.
• Deliver white glove service for domestic and international shipping of Anduril hardware to end customers. Confirm import/export and dangerous goods compliance independently. Know international logistics procedures including customs compliance and duties.
• Proactively identify, propose, and implement improvements to logistical processes, standards, and procedures for Deployment Operations. Develop solutions that reduce risk, increase efficiency, and scale with the organization.
• Communicate effectively to keep internal and external teams informed at all times. Use the necessary tools (JIRA, Oracle ERP) and channels (Slack, email, meetings) to ensure stakeholders understand what needs to be accomplished and when. Provide feedback to internal stakeholders on how customer needs are met to enable continuous improvement.
• Mentor and lead junior associates by example, showing what 'good' looks like in deployment execution. Provide guidance on logistics fundamentals, compliance,…
