Job Application for Portfolio Operations, Intelligence Systems at Anduril Industries New Portfolio Operations, Intelligence Systems Reston, Virginia, United States Apply Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years. ABOUT THE TEAM Anduril Intelligence Systems (AIS) is focused on positioning Anduril as a lead provider of specialized engineering and products for Intelligence Community (IC) customers. We work within the IC to understand their requirements, shape their concepts of operation, and deliver exquisite capability across their problem set. We aim to develop and deploy critically needed capabilities that address our customers’ most pressing national security requirements. ABOUT THE JOB As Portfolio Operations, you will work directly with the Operations Lead and Head of Operations to scale our footprint from Reston, VA and run business operations for our Intelligence Division. In this role, you will partner with leadership and teams from across the business — from our engineering and manufacturing teams to our IT, Security, and G&A teams to our core internal operations teams — to unpack ambiguous problems and build lasting, scalable solutions. Your work will vary from quick-turn operational fire-fighting, building and redesigning processes, to leading high-impact and specialized projects — all in the mission of growing one of our newest Business Lines at Anduril. The Operations team for Intelligence Systems at Anduril has three primary responsibilities: Standing up the operational processes for our Program Execution team. We work with the Program Execution team to ensure we are enabling world-class program managers to execute against contracts with ease - whether it’s streamlining business processes, documenting workflows, and strengthen our data-capture and analytics capabilities, to delivering actionable insights that inform leadership decisions and optimize business outcomes. We’re expanding our footprint across 3x locations and the Operations team is the glue across cross-functional teams (Program Execution, IT, Security, Facility Operations, Engineering, Manufacturing) at Anduril to execute the expansion flawlessly and with speed. Once the site is up and running, we need to ensure our internal operations are humming. Special projects. We are frequently pulled into high priority problems that must be solved, but do not fall neatly into the purview of an existing person’s job description. Our team is one of the first to get tapped when a complex or unexpected challenge requires a creative solution. Much of the time, these core responsibilities go hand-in-hand. As Portfolio Operations, you will be critical to supporting all of these responsibilities. While the Intelligence Systems team will be your team, you will often be working across the business, working cross-functionally with leaders and teams throughout the organization to solve messy problems, set up new processes, capture data, action upon it, and enable others to do the same. Own operational projects end-to-end, from Definition, Solution, to Implementation. You will often be handed ambiguous problems with little prescription on how to solve them. Execute analyses on short-timelines to get answers quickly, while also owning more scalable solutions that will make Intelligence Systems successful in the long term. Project manage across many stakeholders. If you don’t like being the person leading meetings with large groups of people or managing large comms channels to wrangle stakeholders towards a solution, this may not be the role for you. Work across functions and learn Anduril’s business top-to-bottom. You will interact with Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Finance, Engineering, HR, Recruiting, Growth, and more. The Operations team is one of the most cross-functional teams at Anduril. Set up structures and processes that enable the Division to scale our people and physical footprint, while ensuring mature programs are operating at peak efficiency and impact.
