ABOUT PRODUCTION STRATEGY & OPERATIONS
In Production Strategy & Operations, you will be joining the new home for Special Projects in one of Anduril’s largest, most critical functions.

Our 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.

Requirements

• 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.
• Self-driven and relentlessly proactive.
• Proactively step into the gap to offer solutions yourself.
• Don’t have to be told what to do or how to do it - you’re the first one to bring forward solutions and ideas, and then receptively take feedback on them and iterate with the team. You enjoy the idea of seeing your team as “guardrails” to keep you on track, but not the engine pushing you forward. You are that engine!
• Appetite to build clear frameworks to structure problems. Hardware startups are messy - bringing clarity and structured-thinking to the table is a huge asset.
• Lean into acknowledging your weaknesses and take the idea of feedback and growth seriously.
• Get energy from being a thought partner for others and it excites you to spend time translating operational problems into data problems, and to then going and executing on them.
• Enjoy working at a place where no one minds if you leave early one day to go to an appointment or run an errand, but you also don’t mind responding to Slacks in the evening while you’re watching Netflix.
• Appetite to build clear frameworks to structure problems.
• Strong analytical aptitude. You intuitively think about problems in terms of numbers and data-models, and you are able to quickly execute analyses in Excel or other tools.
• Comfortable communicating broadly and having a lot of eyes on your work. This role can at-times require comms to large groups and senior leadership. This should excite you!
• Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities.

Responsibilities

• Lead some of the most consequential strategic work at the company — building the analytical foundation and forward-looking strategy that de-risks our supply chain as we scale production across a growing portfolio of products.
• Partner directly with executives across Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Finance, Engineering, and Program Management to translate ambiguous, high-stakes problems into structured analyses and executable strategies.
• Build models, frameworks, and processes to provide a clear, defensible picture of future demand across products and programs. Pressure-test assumptions, quantify uncertainty, and translate demand signals into actionable inputs for procurement, manufacturing, and capacity planning.
• Develop a deep, first-principles understanding of commodities, sub-tier suppliers, and geopolitical dynamics that drive risk in our supply chain. Build analytics to size exposure, monitor leading indicators, and inform investment decisions on inventory, dual-sourcing, vertical integration, and long-term agreements.
• Synthesize analyses into a coherent production strategy and bring it to life through executive recommendations. Own work end-to-end — from problem definition, to quantitative modeling, to exec-ready synthesis, to cross-functional implementation.
• Structure and lead working sessions with senior leaders to frame decisions and drive alignment on trade-offs that materially shape the cost, schedule, and resilience of our production base. Translate complex findings into crisp narratives enabling rapid decision-making.
• Master our ERP, MRP, and supply chain data. Build scrappy analyses on short timelines and develop tooling / dashboards that let functional teams continuously measure and act on critical metrics.

Benefits

• Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full time offers; and are considered part of Anduril's total compensation package.
• Top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including: comprehensive, competitive benefits package (available at little to no cost to employees) ensures you’re supported in health, recovery, and whatever comes next.
