Operations Associate

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century's most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril's family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

About The Job

Operations Associates at Anduril have two primary responsibilities :

  • Improving Anduril's Operations : Operations Associates work across & within every division and functional organization to improve the processes that define & support Anduril's growth. Operations Associates build out data-capture and analytics-reporting muscles to drive positive change over the long term.
  • Executing Special Projects : Operations Associates are frequently pulled into high-priority initiatives impacting many Anduril teams that must be solved, but do not fall neatly into the purview of an existing person's job description. They are some of the first individuals to get tapped when a messy problem needs solving.

Much of the time, both of these go hand-in-hand. As an Operations Associate, you will be critical to supporting both of these responsibilities. While you'll be a member of a Functional or Division Operations team (e.g., Production, Strategic Real Estate, Air Dominance & Strike, Connected Warfare, etc.), you will often be embedded in the business, working cross-functionally with leaders and other stakeholders to solve its messiest problems, capture data, problem-solve by acting upon that data, and enable others to do the same.

What You'll Do

  • Own operational projects end-to-end, from definition, to solutioning, to implementation. You will be handed ambiguous problems with little prescription on how to solve them. If this does not excite you, this is not the role for you.
  • Anduril is a hardware business, and tracking hardware is messy. Our operations teams work on problems that sit at the intersection of people, hardware and software systems including :
  • Inventory management systems
  • Staffing & recruiting operations
  • Asset-tracking in the field
  • Manufacturing systems capturing data on quality-issues on the production floor.
  • Work on strategic problems, providing structure to ambiguity and helping shepherd cross-functional groups of stakeholders towards decisions on strategic issues. The role will ask you to couple first principles thinking with creative and iterative analysis to fully detail the impacts of potential decisions.
  • Work deeply within data and systems, become intimately familiar with how our business systems (ERP, MRP, HRIS, etc.) function, and leverage data from them to execute scrappy analyses on short timelines, all the while equipping functional teams with insights and tools to measure and improve their processes.
  • Project manage across large groups of stakeholders including, leading large meetings, managing large Slack channels, and wrangling stakeholders towards a solution. This role requires the ability to translate across Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Finance, Engineering, HR, Recruiting, Growth, Deployments, and more.
  • Required Qualifications

  • You have 1+ years of experience in a management consulting, investment banking, internal strategy & 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
  • US Salary Range $113,000 - $149,000 USD The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only. Actual salary offer may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and / or training, critical skills, and / or business considerations. Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full time offers; and are considered part of Anduril's total compensation package. Additionally, Anduril offers top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including :

  • Healthcare Benefits : Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans at little to no cost to you.
  • Income Protection : Anduril covers life and disability insurance for all employees.
  • Generous time off : Highly competitive PTO plans with a holiday hiatus in December. Caregiver & Wellness Leave is available to care for family members, bond with a new baby, or address your own medical needs.
  • Family Planning & Parenting Support : Coverage for fertility treatments (e.g., IVF, preservation), adoption, and gestational carriers, along with resources to support you and your partner from planning to parenting.
  • Mental Health Resources : Access free mental health resources 24 / 7, including therapy and life coaching. Additional work-life services, such as legal and financial support, are also available.
  • Professional Development : Annual reimbursement for professional development
  • Commuter Benefits : Company-funded commuter benefits based on your region.
  • Relocation Assistance : Available depending on role eligibility.
  • Retirement Savings Plan : Traditional 401(k), Roth, and after-tax (mega backdoor Roth) options for US roles; Pension plan with employer match for UK & IE roles; Superannuation plan for AUS roles.
