Senior Recruiter, Business Development

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.

The Business Development Recruiting team is responsible for attracting and hiring the talent that builds Anduril's growth engine. We recruit across the full spectrum of Business Development, including Capture, Strategy & Proposals, Business Development Representatives, Government Relations, and Program Management. As Anduril scales into new markets, new programs of record, and new customer sets, these functions grow in complexity and criticality - and the quality of the people we bring in directly shapes how the company identifies, wins, and expands its most consequential opportunities.

We are looking for a Senior Recruiter for Business Development to join our rapidly growing team in Washington, DC (preferred), Costa Mesa, CA, Seattle, WA, or Boston, MA office.

In this role, you will own full-cycle recruiting across Business Development, Government Relations, and Program Management, while providing flex support to adjacent Growth searches as needed. You will build deep partnerships with your hiring managers, becoming a trusted extension of their teams, while developing real relationships with candidates throughout the process. This will require the versatility to context-switch across searches that demand very different domain fluency, candidate pools, and assessment approaches.

In a given week you might be sourcing a Capture Manager with PEO experience, screening a Director of Business Development - Air Force for our Air Dominance & Strike Division and closing a Senior Proposal Manager who has run $500M+ competitive bids.

If you are someone who thrives on variety, closes with precision, and earns trust from both hiring managers and candidates through the quality of your work, this role is for you.

• Own end-to-end recruiting across Business Development, Government Relations, and Program Management, with flex capacity into adjacent Growth hiring during peak periods
• Develop and execute sourcing strategies tailored to each sub-function, recognizing that a capture manager pipeline rooted in the DoD acquisition community looks very different from a government relations pipeline built around former Hill staff and agency liaisons
• Conduct screens that assess functional depth, customer knowledge, and organizational fit, with an evaluation approach calibrated to each search - a capture lead requires different proof points than a proposal manager or a BD representative
• Manage the interview process from intake through close: calibrate with hiring managers, prepare interview panels, facilitate debriefs, and drive offers to signature

• Partner with BD and Growth leaders to understand current and upcoming hiring needs, team composition, and the specific profiles that will succeed in each sub-function and division
• Advise hiring managers on…
