Program Manager, JIATF

As a Program Manager on the Special Projects team within Air Defense's Mission Operations organization, you will be an innovative and independent problem-solver at the forefront of critical initiatives. You will be rapidly inserted into fresh, dynamic, and at times chaotic situations on a weekly basis, wearing many hats. You will be the face of Anduril to end-users and customers, articulating capabilities and limitations at both executive and layman levels. You will communicate the 'why' for emerging Air Defense technology at the intersection of programmatic, financial, technical, and operational considerations. You will run at least two cross-functional projects independently within 60 days of hiring.

Responsibilities

• Program Management - you partner with capture, growth, and engineering leads to shepherd emerging proposals into successful programs for the business line’s most strategic priorities. You will forecast resources, liaise with subject matter experts on engineering capacity, and exercise both strategic and tactical decision-making to ensure that our newest programs are set up for success across the dimensions of cost, schedule, and performance.
• Support Global Growth Initiatives - you will be a trusted consultant and supporting function on the Air Defense Business Line’s products for international development opportunities and for strategic international engagements. You communicate the nuances of engineering and production roadmaps for Air Defense products, consult on product-market fit for international growth-leads, and participate as the business-line representative in high-visibility engagements with senior domestic & foreign government officials.
• Flex Capacity - as Anduril grows, there’s stuff that we haven’t foreseen yet that will need a cross-functional leader to own end-to-end. You’ll be a full-field player for the business line and will demonstrate extreme professional versatility as an elite generalist.
