ABOUT THE JOB

The Anduril Corporate Development mission is to grow Anduril through accretive acquisitions and strategic partnerships. The position is a fit for strategic thinkers with the interpersonal skills necessary to balance competing internal and external interests in order achieve win-win outcomes. You are the Sun Tzu of corporate development: your deals are won before they are made, flow around obstacles like water, and you ruthlessly but tactfully pass on hundreds of opportunities in order to find the one with a >10x result.


A successful candidate will have experience in high-growth companies, venture investing, and buy-side acquisitions. You will engage with C-level weekly, work directly with our senior engineers to articulate product strategies and tradeoffs, and guide outside counsel daily throughout the course of a deal. 

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Ownership: Plan, evaluate, and execute buy-side acquisitions from sourcing through after-action, and repeat.
  • Embed: Work side-by-side with product, legal, operations, and other Anduril teams — and the leadership of acquisition targets — in order to understand their challenges and shape a no-drama deal that’s a best fit for Anduril’s value proposition.
  • Lead: Manage complex transactions and external service providers efficiently and precisely, to close those transactions on time and on budget.
  • Team Player: No task is too small. If a pitch deck needs updating or an exec visit needs planning on short notice, you will get it done.
  • Write: Draft investment memos and meeting summaries. Articulate Anduril’s complex platforms concisely.
  • Engage: Participate in efforts to educate the broader set of Anduril stakeholders (investors, bankers, and defense industry leaders) on our mission and our unique approach.

QUALIFICATIONS

  • U.S. Person status is required as this position needs to access export-controlled data
  • Comfortable with setting and achieving goals in a complex self-starter environment
  • Adaptive and introspective; willing to learn, teach, lead and follow
  • Experience with financial analysis and legal agreements necessary to complete buy-side acquisitions
  • Comfortable with working in limited resource environments
  • Ability to travel CONUS and OCONUS as needed

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Experience in venture investments
  • Experience in legal agreement drafting
  • Secret clearance preferred as this position may need to access classified information
  • Defense industry business development and government contracting experience
  • Defense operational or defense systems experience

Anduril is an equal-opportunity employer, and we encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply. If you are someone passionate to work on problems that matter, we’d love to hear from you!
