Senior Director, Program Director, Ground Maneuver

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. 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.

• In partnership with leadership, engineering and manufacturing teams, own the development and deployment of Anduril’s groundbreaking ground maneuver systems — unmanned ground vehicles, robotic platforms, and soldier-borne hardware — to meet the operational needs of the Department of War
• Own the integration of communications, computing, sensors, and effectors onto Anduril’s ground platforms — driving interface definitions, SWaP-C budgets, spectrum and EMI deconfliction, and open-architecture compliance so the system fields as one capability rather than a set of subsystems
• Lead a team of program managers who will develop and adhere to strict schedules, cost constraints, and regulatory requirements, with an emphasis on coordinating between multiple hardware production and platform integration teams, managing supply chains, and ensuring that quality, environmental qualification, and delivery commitments are met
• Develop strong, trusting relationships with Anduril’s partners and DoW customers, including Army and Marine Corps program offices and the operational units they equip, ensuring we have tight feedback loops that enable us to shape solutions, rapidly iterate, and ultimately field solutions faster
• 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
• Develop and implement lightweight processes, tools, and metrics for program planning, scope management, risk management, and customer communication to enable Anduril to move rapidly
• Own the program’s path through government test and evaluation — soldier touchpoints, mobility and live-fire trials, and environmental qualification — and convert operator feedback into design and production changes on short cycles
• Be high ownership on all pieces of work and become a trusted partner and advisor to Anduril’s business leaders and engineers
• Foster a creative, high-performance culture within the team, and proactively assess team skills versus needs, identifying personnel development and/or recruitment opportunities to strengthen the team’s capabilities
• Collaborate with finance and business development teams to develop proposal responses for describing technical solutions and novel pricing strategies for proposals that set Anduril up for long term financial and operational success
• Partner with business development and capture teams to grow the Ground Maneuver portfolio — shaping requirements and program strategy with DoW program offices, other USG stakeholders, and the operational units they equip, and identifying the contract vehicles, transition paths, and funding lines that turn prototypes into programs of record
• Partner with Business Line leadership and adjacent Anduril businesses and support organizations to grow the business with allied and partner nations — supporting international demonstrations, coalition exercises, and user assessments,…
