Anduril Industries • Costa Mesa, CA

19h • Onsite

About The Position

We are looking for an experienced Product Manager to own and build out the foundational planning tooling that powers Anduril's operations. This isn't just a greenfield deployment - it's about defining and constructing the planning layer from the ground up while keeping the business running. Everything from the data models to the workflows, integrations, and interfaces that will allow Anduril to plan production at scale. As the Product Manager for Planning, you will be responsible for Anduril's proprietary planning infrastructure - the systems that translate demand signals into build plans and supply chain purchases. You'll be responsible for working with cross-functional dependencies and giving operators and leaders visibility into what's coming and what's at risk.

Requirements

• Five to seven years in product management role or similar leading role in product development
• Domain expertise within hardware-related industries, such as production planning, supply chain, manufacturing, or logistics
• Strong understanding of the interplay between enterprise systems, including ERP, MRP/APS, WMS, MES, and PLM—and a point of view on where traditional systems fall short
• Experience building foundational or platform-level products where you had to define core data models, system boundaries, and integration patterns alongside feature development
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to balance requirements across engineering, design, data, and business stakeholders
• Comfortable working with internal and external stakeholders, across a wide range of technical comfort
• Demonstrated success decomposing a problem into addressable component parts and arranging the correct sequencing
• Proven ability to “see around corners” by crafting product strategy for 6-12 months into the future
• Comfort in maturing a product from MVP to enterprise-grade production
• Must be able to travel up to 25% of the time
• U.S. Person status is required as this position needs to access export controlled data

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with optimization, scheduling, or constraint-based planning approaches
• Background in standing up net-new internal tools or platforms in high-growth environments

Responsibilities

• Defining the foundational architecture of planning tooling determining what needs to be built, what can be integrated, and how planning data flows across supply chain, manufacturing, and sustainment systems
• Developing a long-term strategy that navigates complex product tradeoffs and integration dependencies to stand up a planning capability that can scale with Anduril's production ambitions
• Managing stakeholders' requirements across operations, supply chain, manufacturing, engineering, and finance - synthesizing competing needs into a prioritized backlog that sequences the work and communicate it to the business
• Communicating roadmap, progress, and constraints across a broad set of stakeholders and interested parties as the planning tooling matures from early-stage to production-grade
• Exploring and incorporating cutting-edge technologies from optimization engines, AI-assisted scheduling, and modern data infrastructure. Anything that enables Anduril to plan better and faster.
• Driving adoption and enablement of planning solutions across operations and business teams, recognizing that foundational tools only deliver value when people trust and use them
