Security Department Generalist

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 Security Team at Anduril is the cornerstone of defense, employing unparalleled security measures and state-of-the-art technology to ensure the protection of our people, assets, operations, and innovations. Given the unique nature of this company, our team supports a host of standard and non-standard taskings integrating physical and digital measures to stay ahead of evolving threats. We also uphold stringent industry and government compliance, creating a secure environment that nurtures the development of cutting-edge defense solutions and ensures Anduril's continued growth and innovation in a complex global landscape.

We are looking for a talented generalist to join our department. In this role, you will work directly with Anduril's Security leadership team, as well as other business leaders to manage operations and lead special projects for the Security department. Work within this role includes quick-turn operational fire-fighting, solving messy problems, redesigning and implementing processes, and leading high-impact strategic projects. You will frequently be pulled into high-priority initiatives that do not fall neatly into the purview of an existing person's job description.

What you'll do :

  • Own operational projects end-to-end, from definition, to solutioning, to implementation. You will be handed ambiguous problems with little prescription on how to solve them.
  • Lead various strategic initiatives and special projects, as directed by Security leadership, to establish scalable operations and wrangle large groups of stakeholders towards decisions on critical issues.
  • Coordinate and prepare for meetings with executives, including setting agendas, leading material development, tracking action items, and ensuring follow-through.
  • Work deeply within data and systems, becoming intimately familiar with how our team functions. You will equip leaders with insights and tools to measure and improve processes.
  • Support internal team operations like employee onboarding, All Hands, internal business reviews, and other department-wide events.

Required qualifications :

  • You have 5+ years of work experience, including 2+ years in management consulting, operations, finance, or product / program management role.
  • You're both high ownership and low ego, approaching everything with strong outcome orientation and high humility.
  • You have strong emotional intelligence and the ability to solve complex operational problems not only from a data-driven lens, but also in a people-centric way by building strong cross-functional relationships across the company.
  • You are self-driven and relentlessly proactive. You don't need someone to tell you to "move". You just move. We'd rather have to tell you to slow down than to speed up.
  • You get energy from being a thought partner for others and it excites you to spend time translating operational problems into data problems, and executing on them.
  • You have an appetite to build clear frameworks to structure problems.
  • You are comfortable rolling up your sleeves and diving deep into executing operational tasks that require high attention to detail and high organization skills, but you can also zoom out at a 30,000 foot level to create a strategy that solves high-level problems.
  • You lean into acknowledging your weaknesses and take the idea of feedback and growth seriously.
  • You are a strong communicator across a wide dynamic range, having the ability to translate and articulate thoughts clearly and simply across a wide range of roles. You have demonstrated expertise in stakeholder and executive engagement.
  • You have high ownership with the horsepower to juggle multiple (5+) large projects and priorities in parallel, at a rapid pace, and report out on progress regularly without dropping any balls.
  • Ability to work onsite five days a week at our HQ in Costa Mesa, CA and willingness to travel 25% - 50% to support project objectives as needed.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Top Secret security clearance
  • Preferred qualifications :

  • Experience working in and / or passion for the Security domain
  • MBA or similar degree
  • US Salary Range $166,000 - $220,000 USD The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only. Actual salary offer may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and / or training, critical skills, and / or business considerations.
