Senior Manager Executive Success & Corporate Operations

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.

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 JOB As Anduril continues to grow rapidly, we are reimagining how our Executive Assistant (EA) organization operates and delivers exceptional support to our leadership.

Performance & Alignment: Providing clear performance guidance and feedback.

Knowledge Management: Building and maintaining a shared knowledge base of continuous support and operational best practices. Uphold Fundamental Excellence & Innovate with AI: Ensure the team executes tactical fundamentals (calendar management, travel, expenses) flawlessly, while proactively introducing process innovations using emerging AI and modern productivity tools. People Leadership & Management: Provide direct management, mentorship, and career growth pathways for the leaders and individual contributors within the Executive Admin team. Corporate Operations & Chief of Staff Projects: Partner with leaders across the organization to scope, project manage, and execute cross-functional administrative and corporate operations initiatives that keep the CAO team running smoothly as we scale.
