Business Operations Lead - Technical Projects

Anduril Anduril · Defense · Costa Mesa, CA · Corporate Technology : Business Operations

This role is for a Business Operations Lead at a defense technology company. The role focuses on owning and delivering cross-functional initiatives, operating across hardware and software, developing analytics and tooling, and project managing across teams. While the company utilizes AI and related technologies, this specific role is not directly building or researching AI models, but rather supporting the business operations that enable these advanced technologies.

What you'd actually do

  1. Own and deliver cross-functional initiatives from zero to one, from framing the problem to executing on a chosen solution.
  2. Operate across both hardware and software, bringing solutions to problems across Supply Chain, Engineering, Manufacturing, Field Operations, Finance, HR, Recruiting, and more.
  3. Work deeply within Anduril’s business systems (including our ERP, MRP, and MES) to develop a clear understanding of how data and processes flow across the company.
  4. Develop analytics and tooling that shape decision-making, ranging from scrappy, ad hoc Excel data crunching to scalable data pipelines and dashboards.
  5. Project manage across teams, leading meetings of large and small groups and managing digital communication channels to direct stakeholders towards solutions.
