Program Manager, Quality System Site Engagement

What you'd do

• Own the cross-site QMS alignment strategy, ensuring all Anduril facilities operate under a consistent, AS9100/ISO 9001-compliant quality management system that supports enterprise-wide certification and customer audit readiness.
• Conduct structured site assessments and quality maturity evaluations across manufacturing, engineering, and field operations locations to identify gaps, risks, and opportunities for standardization.
• Develop and maintain a site risk register that captures quality system risks by location, tracks mitigation actions, and provides leadership with clear visibility into enterprise-level quality health.
• Serve as the primary liaison between corporate Quality and site quality teams, facilitating regular engagement cadences, best-practice sharing, and escalation pathways for systemic issues.
• Lead the rollout of new or revised QMS processes, procedures, and policies across sites, managing change implementation timelines, stakeholder communication, and adoption verification.
• Partner with Internal Audit, Supplier Quality, and Compliance teams to coordinate audit schedules, align corrective action processes, and ensure findings are resolved consistently across the enterprise.
• Define and report on enterprise quality metrics and KPIs—such as nonconformance trends, corrective action closure rates, and audit findings by site—to drive data-informed decisions at the leadership level.
• Build and maintain the governance framework for QMS document control across sites, including process ownership models, revision workflows, and harmonized document hierarchies.
• Requires up to 50% travel

• Strong program management skills with experience coordinating cross-functional, multi-site initiatives—including stakeholder alignment, timeline management, and risk-based prioritization.
