Senior Manager, Industrial Capacity

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.ABOUT THE TEAM This role is part of Anduril’s Corporate Development team and reports to the Head of Corporate Development, with frequent interaction with the c-suite. This role is an excellent fit for someone who is smart, analytical, and willing to hustle, and who has an intense personal interest in securing American supply chains.

ABOUT THE JOB Anduril believes very strongly in designing and developing systems that can be produced by the supply chain that America and our allies already have, rather than the supply chain we wish we had. The majority of our products use commercial sector production processes, materials, and components, and Anduril generally prefers to rely on thriving competitive markets with many suppliers instead of vertically integrating our supply chain. As Anduril grows, we will provide additional signal to suppliers about our future needs, allowing them to make good decisions about investing in capacity and designing new products that we will want to use.
