About The Job

We are looking for a Sr. People Program Manager to join our rapidly growing team.

What You’ll Do

  • You’ll both lead and help on critical projects for leaders in our People org, requiring you to quickly learn new subject matters and create priorities in an ambiguous environment.
  • You have an insanely high execution bar and will see projects through from conception to tactical completion to move Anduril forward.
  • You’ll use your qualitative and quantitative skill set to help design key analysis to influence and execute on operational decisions, and partner with analysts to execute.
  • You will utilize your project management expertise to develop structured and meticulous processes using project briefs, trackers, and data mapping, ensuring timely and on-schedule project delivery.
  • You'll continuously use your creativity to craft compelling narratives that convey a clear vision, story, or request.
  • You’ll communicate across teams, bridging different parts of the organization to achieve cross-functional outcomes.
  • 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.

Required Qualifications

  • Minimum of 6+ yrs experience in management consulting, strategy, internal operations, or program management.
  • You are motivated by our mission. We are working to solve the biggest problems in defense.
  • You thrive in cross-functional projects that have a heavy combination of technical requirements and user-focused workflows.
  • You get energy from being a thought partner for others and it excites you to spend time creating process.
  • You are empathetic: you are eager to see the world from your users’ perspective.
  • You love solving complex, ambiguous, cross-functional problems in a people-centric way.
  • You are a driver of strategic planning.
  • You’re both high ownership and low ego, approaching everything with strong outcome orientation and high humility.
  • You don’t wait on others to solve problems. You proactively step into the gap to offer solutions yourself.
  • You are comfortable communicating broadly and having a lot of eyes on your work.

Exceptional Communication Skills

  • You have exceptional communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to present complex information clearly and concisely to diverse audiences.
  • You must be able to interpret complex datasets and extract actionable insights that support business objectives.
