Program Manager, JIATF

What you'd do

• Program Management - you partner with capture, growth, and engineering leads to shepherd emerging proposals into successful programs for the business line’s most strategic priorities.
• You will forecast resources, liaise with subject matter experts on engineering capacity, and exercise both strategic and tactical decision-making to ensure that our newest programs are set up for success across the dimensions of cost, schedule, and performance.
• Support Global Growth Initiatives - you will be a trusted consultant and supporting function on the Air Defense Business Line’s products for international development opportunities and for strategic international engagements.
• You communicate the nuances of engineering and production roadmaps for Air Defense products, consult on product-market fit for international growth-leads, and participate as the business-line representative in high-visibility engagements with senior domestic & foreign government officials.
• Flex Capacity - as Anduril grows, there’s stuff that we haven’t foreseen yet that will need a cross-functional leader to own end-to-end.
• You’ll be a full-field player for the business line and will demonstrate extreme professional versatility as an elite generalist.
• First Principles Thinker: You break down complex problems into their most fundamental components and build solutions from what is known to be true and makes sense in context, rather than how it has been done in the past.
• You always question the status quo.
• Build with longevity in mind - you build teams and systems that are resilient and scalable beyond your personal involvement. You’re unafraid to leave something you’ve built, even when it’s quickly succeeding.
• Allergic to ambiguity - you use questions as tools and have a proven track-record of making sound decisions under uncertainty and with limited information.
• Master Communicator - you are fluent in the fundamental principles of persuasion and have elite writing, speaking, and narrative-crafting skills.
• Analytical Rigor and Versatility - you’re a dialectical thinker able to properly interpret contradictory information.
• You have an extensive analytical toolkit and have the intellectual awareness to update your views as you receive new information.
• Demonstrated Humility - you’re not above shouldering more than your share of the task, getting your hands dirty, and you champion the successes of the engineers you lead. No job is too small for you.
