About The Team

Air Defense is a high-octane, rapidly scaling business line that develops, integrates, and fields an expanding mix of mature and novel capabilities to detect and defeat UAS threats. As our business line continues to scale, our newest emerging initiatives require focused direction and ownership to rapidly mature in support of Air Defense's operational, technical, and financial objectives.

About The Job

As an Air Defense Program Manager for Strategic C2 efforts, you will be responsible for the execution of new, software-first Strategic C2 programs. You will be accountable for all aspects of Program success, including cost, schedule, and performance. You will lead an integrated, cross-functional program team to deliver capability that exceeds customer expectations. Success in this role requires a systems and engineering mindset and rigorous execution skills. You must be able to deeply understand mission requirements, master technical concepts, identify key dependencies and trade-offs, assess and mitigate risks, align internal and external parties on priorities and expectations, orchestrate complex operations, and communicate clearly and consistently. You must be able to build lightweight process where required while maintaining outcome orientation and a bias toward action. This is not a traditional PM role; we are looking for a high-agency, autonomous program owner who is excited by the prospect of shaping how to do software program management the Anduril way. You will also be the face of Anduril to many of our end-users and our customers, capable of articulating the capabilities and limitations of Anduril's products at both an executive's and a layman's level. We move fast at Anduril and give tremendous freedom and autonomy to our new hires to assume responsibility and exercise prudent interdisciplinary judgement; when you join our team, you're signing up to immediately make an impact in our organization.
