WHAT YOU'LL DO

As a Business Operations Manager, you will work directly with the Head of Operations and run business operations for one of our our Portfolios in the Intelligence Business Line. In this role, you will partner with leadership and teams from across the business — from our software and hardware teams to our Finance and G&A teams to our core internal operations teams — to unpack ambiguous problems and build lasting, scalable solutions. Your work will vary from quick-turn operational fire-fighting, building and redesigning processes, to leading high-impact and specialized projects — all in the mission of growing one of our newest Business Units at Anduril. The Operations team for Intelligence Systems at Anduril has three primary responsibilities:

• Standing up the operational processes for our Program Execution team. We work with the Program Execution team to ensure we are enabling world-class program managers to execute against contracts with ease - whether it’s unlocking headcount, running analysis on our IRAD spend, to working with finance to ensure we’re running profitable programs.

• We’re expanding our footprint in Reston and the Operations team is the glue across cross-functional teams (Business Development, Program Execution, Network Engineering/IT, Security, Facility Operations) at Anduril to execute the expansion flawlessly and with speed. Once the site is up and running, we need to ensure our internal operations are humming.

• 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 complex or unexpected challenge requires a creative solution.

Much of the time, these core responsibilities go hand-in-hand.

As a Business Operations Manager, you will be critical to supporting all of these responsibilities. While the Intelligence Systems team will be your team, you will often be working across the business, 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 often be handed ambiguous problems with little prescription on how to solve them.

• Execute analyses on short-timelines to get answers quickly, while also owning more scalable solutions that will make Intelligence Systems 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 comms 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. The Operations team is one of the most cross-functional teams at Anduril.

• Set up structures and processes that enable the Division to scale our people and physical footprint, while ensuring mature programs are operating at peak efficiency and impact.

• Design, implement, and maintain effective procurement and inventory controls.

• Plan, organize, and execute all-hands meetings, team-building activities, and other internal events.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Currently possesses and is able to maintain an active U.S. Top Secret SCI security clearance.

• U.S. Person status is required as this position needs to access export-controlled data.

• 8+ years of experience in management consulting, internal operations, or business operations 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 problems into proposed solutions, 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 have an appetite to build clear frameworks to structure problems.

• 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!
