Senior Technical Project Manager, Infosec

Anduril Anduril · Defense · Costa Mesa, CA · Corporate Technology : Information Security : Security Engineering

This role is for a Senior Technical Project Manager focused on Information Security at Anduril, a defense technology company. The role involves driving security initiatives, rolling out security tooling, and managing cross-functional projects to ensure the company's security as it scales. The focus is on execution, risk management, and process improvement within the security domain.

What you'd actually do

  1. Lead the company-wide rollout of security tooling — EDR, identity, vulnerability management, SIEM, DLP, and similar platforms — from vendor selection through deployment, coverage, and steady-state ownership.
  2. Drive site and system-level security evaluations and remediations across Anduril facilities and production environments.
  3. Run cross-team projects that span Network, IT, Cloud, and Systems engineering, holding the line on scope, timeline, and security outcomes.
  4. Build and maintain the InfoSec projects operating cadence: project plans, roadmaps, OKRs, status reporting, and exec-level readouts.
  5. Partner with security engineers to instrument projects with metrics — coverage, MTTR, patch latency, exception volume — and use the data to unblock work, not just report on it.

Skills

Required

  • 7+ years of technical program or project management experience
  • at least 3 years running security, infrastructure, or platform projects
  • Demonstrated track record of rolling out enterprise security software across thousands of endpoints, users, or workloads.
  • Strong technical fluency: able to read architecture diagrams, follow a network or identity data flow, reason about cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure), and push back credibly on engineering trade-offs.
  • Experience running projects across infrastructure and platform engineering organizations (networking, cloud, endpoint, and IT).
  • Excellent written communication — concise status updates, clear decision docs, sharp exec summaries.
  • Builder mindset: you write your own tickets, automate your own reporting, and ship the first version yourself rather than waiting for a team to form around you.
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity, with urgency, and with minimal process overhead.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain a US Secret security clearance

Nice to have

  • Prior experience in defense, aerospace, critical infrastructure, or another regulated environment (ITAR, CMMC, FedRAMP, IL-4/5/6).
  • Hands-on background as an engineer, SRE, IT/systems lead, or security engineer before moving into project or program management.
  • Experience standing up or maturing a security program at a high-growth company (1,000 → 5,000+ employees).
  • Familiarity with identity platforms, endpoint tooling, SIEM/SOAR, and modern vulnerability management stacks.
  • Scripting or light coding skills (Python, SQL, Bash) to pull your own data and automate project instrumentation.
