About The Position

The Operations Manager will own day-to-day operations for Anduril’s Internal Mobility team, coordinating work across People Operations, Talent Acquisition Operations, and Division Operations. The role provides operational support for internal moves and improves the workflows, systems, and tools that enable the program to scale and help deploy internal talent into appropriate roles.

The role manages internal moves from eligibility verification through start-date coordination and transition closeout; advises on escalations involving eligibility, compensation partnership, start dates, and transitions; and builds consistent processes, playbooks, standard operating procedures, and escalation paths. It also owns operational systems and tooling across Greenhouse, Foundry/Jira, and internal systems, including automation, tracking, reporting, adoption, and feedback.

The Operations Manager partners with Recruiters, People Business Partners, Compensation, and Division Operations teams; enables rollouts of new processes and systems; and operationalizes eligibility criteria, internal posting policies, and movement guidelines. Compensation policy ownership remains with the Compensation team, while this role supports consistent execution. The role develops mobility analytics and dashboards, tracks program performance, and produces quarterly leadership reports and ad hoc analyses for People Business Partners and Division Operations leads.
