Program Manager, CoreOps

This operations role on the Facilities & Core Operations team at Anduril has two primary responsibilities: 

• Standing up the operational processes and analytics to measure change. We work with teams to improve operational processes and building in the data-capture and analytics-reporting muscle to ensure changes for the long term. 

• Special projects. We are frequently pulled into high priority problems that must be solved, but do not fall neatly into the purview of an existing person’s job description. Our team is one of the first to get tapped when a messy problem needs solving. 

Much of the time, both of these go hand-in-hand. 

As a CoreOps Program Manager, you will be critical to supporting both of these responsibilities. While the Facilities team will be your team, you will often be working cross-functionally with leaders and teams throughout the organization to solve messy problems, set up new processes, capture data, action upon it, and enable others to do the same. 

• Own operational projects end-to-end, from Definition, Solution, to Implementation. You will be handed ambiguous, messy problems with little prescription on how to solve them. If this does not excite you, this is not the role for you. 

• Work on operational problems involving the intersection of hardware and software systems. From facilities asset management systems, to integrating new facilities from acquisitions, to capturing data on quality-issues across our broad portfolio of facilities. Anduril is hardware business, and facilities enable our mission at the most basic level. We need our systems, tools, and, processes to be up to the task. 

• Work deeply within data and systems, becoming intimately familiar with how our business systems (ERP, MRP, HRIS, etc.) function, and how to leverage data from them to create insights and analytics (leveraging tools like Excel, SQL, Tableau), equipping functional teams with these insights and tools to measure and improve their processes. 

• Execute scrappy analyses on short-timelines to get answers quickly, while also owning more scalable solutions that will make Anduril successful in the long term. 

• Project manage across many stakeholders. If you don’t like being the person leading meetings with large groups of people or managing large Slack channels to wrangle stakeholders towards a solution, this may not be the role for you. 

• Work across functions and learn Anduril’s business top-to-bottom. You will interact with Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Finance, Engineering, HR, Recruiting, Growth, and more. This role requires cross-functional stretching across Anduril. 

• You have 2+ years of experience in management consulting, investment banking, internal operations, or business analyst role. 

• You lean into acknowledging your weaknesses and take the idea of feedback and growth seriously. 

• You 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. 

• You are self-driven and relentlessly proactive. You don’t need someone to tell you to “move”. You just move. We’d rather have to tell you to slow down than to speed up. 

• You don’t wait on others to solve problems. You proactively step into the gap to offer solutions yourself. 

• You 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. 

• You have an appetite to build clear frameworks to structure problems. 

• You have 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 SQL. 

• You are 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
