ABOUT PRODUCTION STRATEGY & OPERATIONS
In Production Strategy & Operations, you will be joining the new home for Special Projects in one of Anduril’s largest, most critical functions. Production at Anduril is responsible for the end-to-end processes of procuring, manufacturing, and delivering hardware to our customers. Our team is dedicated to staffing heavy-hitters against the highest-priority problems in the organization to help deliver hardware On-time, with Quality, at Cost.

WHAT YOU'LL DO
You will lead some of the most consequential strategic work at the company — building the analytical foundation and forward-looking strategy that de-risks our supply chain as we scale production across a growing portfolio of products. You will partner directly with executives across Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Finance, Engineering, and Program Management to translate ambiguous, high-stakes problems into structured analyses and executable strategies.

• Sharpen Our View of Demand: Build models, frameworks, and processes provide a clear, defensible picture of future demand across products and programs. Pressure-test assumptions, quantify uncertainty, and translate demand signals into actionable inputs for procurement, manufacturing, and capacity planning.
• Quantify and De-risk Commodity Exposure: Develop a deep, first-principles understanding of commodities, sub-tier suppliers, and geopolitical dynamics that drive risk in our supply chain. Build analytics to size exposure, monitor leading indicators, and inform investment decisions on inventory, dual-sourcing, vertical integration, and long-term agreements.
• Build the Strategy, Then Drive It: Synthesize analyses into a coherent production strategy and bring it to life through executive recommendations. Own work end-to-end — from problem definition, to quantitative modeling, to exec-ready synthesis, to cross-functional implementation.
• Collaborate with Executives: Structure and lead working sessions with senior leaders to frame decisions and drive alignment on trade-offs that materially shape the cost, schedule, and resilience of our production base. Translate complex findings into crisp narratives enabling rapid decision-making.
• Go Deep in Data and Systems: Master our ERP, MRP, and supply chain data. Build scrappy analyses on short timelines and develop tooling / dashboards that let functional teams continuously measure and act on critical metrics.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• You have 5+ years of experience in management consulting, investment banking, internal operations, a business analyst role - or some other experience where you just had to figure out how to get stuff done.
• 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 don’t have to be told what to do or how to do it - you’re the first one to bring forward solutions and ideas, and then receptively take feedback on them and iterate with the team. You enjoy the idea of seeing your team as “guardrails” to keep you on track, but not the engine pushing you forward. You are that engine!
• You have an appetite to build clear frameworks to structure problems. Hardware startups are messy - bringing clarity and structured-thinking to the table is a huge asset.
• 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 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 other tools.
• 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.
