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 As a Business Operations in our Production organization, you will be joining the new home for Special Projects in one of Anduril’s largest, fastest-growing organizations. Production at Anduril is responsible for the end to end processes of procuring, manufacturing, and delivering hardware to our customers. The Production BizOps team is dedicated to staffing heavy-hitters against the highest-priority problems in the organization to help deliver hardware On-time, with Quality, at Cost. ABOUT THE JOB You will be embedded in the operations of the business - working across Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Planning, and teams outside Production like Finance, Growth, HR, etc. - spanning anywhere from strategic projects with exposure to leadership down to scrappy operational improvement in the most complex processes in Production. WHAT YOU'LL DO Own operational projects end-to-end, from Definition, Solution, to Implementation. You will be handed ambiguous, messy problems with little prescription on how to solve them. If this does not excite you, this is not the role for you. Work on operational problems involving the intersection of hardware and software systems. From inventory management systems, to asset-tracking in the field, to manufacturing systems capturing data on quality-issues on the production floor. Anduril is hardware business, and tracking hardware is messy. We need our systems, tools, and, processes to be up to the task. Work on strategic problems, providing structure to ambiguity and helping shepherd cross-functional groups of stakeholders towards decisions on strategic issues - coupling first principles thinking and the ability to rapidly and creatively conduct research (internally and externally) to fully and exhaustively detail the implications and tradeoffs of various decisions without losing sight of the simple “so what” Work deeply within data and systems, becoming intimately familiar with how our business systems (ERP, MRP, HRIS, etc.) function, and how to leverage data from them to create insights and analytics (leveraging tools like Excel, Palantir Foundry, etc.), equipping functional teams with these insights and tools to measure and improve their processes Execute scrappy analyses on short-timelines to get answers quickly, while also owning more scalable solutions that will make Anduril successful in the long term Project manage across many stakeholders. If you don’t like being the person leading meetings with large groups of people or managing large Slack channels to wrangle stakeholders towards a solution, this may not be the role for you Work across functions and learn Anduril’s business top-to-bottom. You will interact with Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Finance, Engineering, HR, Recruiting, Growth, and more. BizOps is one of the most cross-functional teams at Anduril. REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS You have 5+ years of experience in management consulting, investment banking, internal operations, a business analyst role - or some other experience where you just had to figure out how to get stuff done. 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 don’t wait on others t
