Senior Technical Program Manager, Space Special Programs

About the role

The Technical Program Manager will lead day-to-day execution of program initiatives and tasks - working with the Head of Programs, the Head of Operations, and the rest of the Business Operations team to manage the budget and schedule, as well as with the customer, and the GM to satisfy the technical objectives while meeting all of the contractual requirements. This role is directly tied to a series of on-going orbital programs and active pursuits across Anduril's Space Special Programs Business Line. These programs require executing on multiple space system development and delivery contracts along with capture efforts across multiple dynamic space operations missions.
