Division Operations Analyst, Trs

Anduril Anduril · Defense · Costa Mesa, CA · Tactical Recon & Strike

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company that develops advanced technology for military systems. The TRS team focuses on aerial small drones and their deployment. The Operations team within TRS is responsible for solving business problems related to efficiency and productivity, including headcount planning, financial/operational performance analysis, and supporting division-wide events and special projects. This role requires end-to-end ownership of operational projects, building headcount planning systems, identifying and resolving issues, monitoring progress, and coordinating executive meetings.

What you'd actually do

  1. Own operational projects end-to-end, from Definition, Solution, to Implementation. You will be handed ambiguous, messy problems with little prescription on how to solve them. If this does not _excite_ you, this is not the role for you.
  2. Build out and run the headcount planning machine for TRS, enabling division leadership and recruiting to steer allocation of its most valuable resources as the organization scales from 100s to 1000s
  3. Proactively identify issues across workstreams and lead projects to directly and quickly strengthen the division’s financial or operational performance
  4. Regularly monitor and analyze recruiting, staffing, and financial progress against plans and provide recommendations to Division leadership for resource reallocation
  5. Run our division reporting battle rhythm by monitoring performance against goals across divisions verticals (growth, finance, engineering, production, people)
