Technical Program Manager, Core Operations

ABOUT THE JOB

This technical program manager role will work on some of the most ambiguous, high-leverage problems at Anduril — combining operational rigor, technical curiosity, and strategic thinking to build solutions that scale. While you’ll be a member of the broader Real Estate and Facilities org, you will often be uniquely driving the underlying technical program for the department, helping Anduril run more efficiently by solving the messy, cross-functional problems that don’t fall neatly into a single team’s lane.

This is not a traditional Operations role. It’s a builder-operator role for those who thrive in ambiguity, move fast, and care deeply about outcomes. You might have been an engineer, PM, consultant, or founder — and here, you’ll apply those instincts to the problems that power Anduril’s growth.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Own and deliver cross-functional initiatives from zero to one, from framing the problem to executing on a chosen solution.
• Operate across both hardware and software, bringing solutions to problems across Real Estate, Design & Construction, Facilities Operations, and more.
• Work deeply within Anduril’s business systems to develop a clear understanding of how data and processes flow across the company.
• Develop analytics and tooling that shape decision-making, ranging from scrappy, ad hoc Excel data crunching to scalable data pipelines and dashboards.
• Project manage across teams, leading meetings of large and small groups and managing digital communication channels to direct stakeholders towards solutions.
• Partner with senior leaders to bring structure, insight, and velocity to Anduril’s highest-priority operational challenges.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 3+ years of experience in consulting, business operations, strategy, or engineering/technical roles.
• You’re technical—you are data-driven, understand systems, and know how to communicate with engineering and product teams.
• You’re strategic—you zoom out to define frameworks, build business cases, and integrate solutions into broader company initiatives.
• You’re a builder—you’d rather design and implement a better solution than patch around a broken one.
• You’re self-driven and proactive—your bias is for action rather than delay.
• You’re comfortable in ambiguity—you get energy from untangling complex, messy problems.
• You’re clear—you communicate effectively, including in both technical and non-technical contexts.
• Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience with technical systems in hardware + software environments (e.g., data warehouses, analytics tooling, manufacturing systems, etc.).
• Exposure to classified or regulated workflows.
• Background working in cross-functional, fast-paced environments without a playbook.
