Responsibilities

We are hiring a Senior Technical Program Manager for our Space business line
The Technical Program Manager will lead day‑to‑day execution of program initiatives and tasks – working with Business Operations to manage the budget and schedule, as well as with the customer, and the Growth team 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 Business Line
These programs require executing on multiple space system development and delivery contracts along with capture efforts across multiple dynamic space operations missions
Ownership: TPMs are owners; we’re looking for those who have a natural bias to assume responsibility, a healthy dose of skepticism, and contribute to a culture of performance. Lead the project from start to finish with the customer and the engineering team
Develop the technical path for success, identify engineering needs, and validate the projected product outcome with the customer
TPMs are empowered to quickly assume high levels of responsibility and entrust them to actively own their account and shape its success
Embed/Engage: Work side‑by‑side with our customers to understand their specific mission challenges and represent the customer as you work with Anduril engineers to shape products that solve critical national and international security challenges
Anduril engineers rely on TPMs to understand the lay of the land and bring a perspective that informs the product development process
Build/Orchestrate: Work with Anduril engineers to build the solution and/or pivot development as needed to meet client needs
Successfully developing our complex hardware and software products requires collaborating with nearly every internal Anduril team – engineering, product, logistics, finance, legal, contracting, technical operations, and many more
You’ll be responsible for ensuring each party is engaged and informed, and will therefore become well‑versed in what it takes to really bring the best of Anduril to our customers
Plan: Develop, coordinate and communicate the path to success with both internal and external partners. Work with clients and engineers to build sprint plans, execution plans, milestones
Grow our business through customer success: In addition to the operational and executive relationships you own, you will be responsible for meeting commercial targets that drive top line growth
This requires establishing committed and trust‑based partnerships with our customers to not only help them solve their immediate problems, but also to foresee future opportunities where Anduril’s technology can make them more effective
Understanding Anduril’s value proposition and articulating how we can have an impact on a customer’s pro
