Costa Mesa, California, United States Anduril Industries Full time
Program Execution

As a Program Manager, Air Defense, you will be responsible for the execution of a major new development program, including new sensor, effector, and C2 system integration.

You will be accountable for all aspects of Program success, including cost, schedule, and performance. You will lead an integrated, cross-functional program team to deliver capability that exceeds customer expectations.

Success in this role requires a systems and engineering mindset and rigorous execution skills. You must be able to deeply understand mission requirements, master technical concepts, identify key dependencies and trade-offs, assess and mitigate risks, align internal and external parties on priorities and expectations, orchestrate complex operations, and communicate clearly and consistently.

You must be able to build lightweight process where required while maintaining outcome orientation and a bias toward action. This is not a traditional PM role.

We are looking for a high-agency, autonomous business owner who is excited by the prospect of figuring out how to do program management the Anduril Way.

Key Responsibilities
  • Own overall program execution, meeting cost, schedule, and performance targets and exceeding customer expectations.
  • Acquire an intimate understanding of program requirements and maintain open dialogue with the customer to ensure engineering efforts remain aligned to mission objectives.
  • Develop and implement effective processes, tools, and metrics for program planning, scope management, risk management, and overall program execution.
  • Foster a "Team of Teams" culture amongst Anduril, external customers, and industry partners to align objectives, optimize processes, gather insight, and drive on-time execution.
Team Leadership and Development

Build an outcome-oriented, high-performance culture within the program team that values development velocity, high-trust collaboration, rigorous execution, and continuous improvement.

Drive cross-functional alignment efforts to ensure seamless integration across engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, test and evaluation, operations, business development, and other Anduril teams.

Proactively assess team skills and resource requirements, identifying training needs or recruitment opportunities to strengthen the team's capabilities.

Strategic Planning

Collaborate with senior management to situate your program within the strategic roadmap for Anduril's Air Defense business.

Analyze market trends, competitor activities, and customer requirements to identify growth opportunities and develop business strategies.

Identify areas for process improvement, technology adoption, and innovation across functions to enhance overall performance and efficiency.
