Senior Manager, Industrial Capacity

Anduril Industries • Columbia, WA

20h

About The Position

This role is part of Anduril’s Corporate Development team and reports to the Head of Corporate Development, with frequent interaction with the c-suite. This role is an excellent fit for someone who is smart, analytical, and willing to hustle, and who has an intense personal interest in securing American supply chains. The successful candidate will be both deeply thoughtful about building industrial capacity as well as biased towards taking discrete action that will benefit Anduril’s product portfolio. Anduril believes very strongly in designing and developing systems that can be produced by the supply chain that America and our allies already have, rather than the supply chain we wish we had. The majority of our products use commercial sector production processes, materials, and components, and Anduril generally prefers to rely on thriving competitive markets with many suppliers instead of vertically integrating our supply chain. As Anduril grows, we will provide additional signal to suppliers about our future needs, allowing them to make good decisions about investing in capacity and designing new products that we will want to use.

• You are comfortable rolling up your sleeves and diving deep into executing operational tasks that require high attention to detail and high organization skills, but you can also zoom out and create a strategy that solves high level problems for the business line, division, and company.
• High ownership with the horsepower to juggle multiple (3-5+) large projects and priorities in parallel, at a rapid pace, and report out on progress regularly without dropping any balls.

• Communicate forecasts to internal and external stakeholders that accurately reflect Anduril’s business requirements while hedging against potential upside or change in business direction.
• In tandem with a deal leader from the Corporate Development team, identify specific areas where Anduril should increase the depth and breadth of available suppliers, and execute strategic partnerships and long-term supplier agreements to create increased capacity.
