Requirements
  • You have 2+ years of experience in management consulting, investment banking, or private equity/venture capital.
  • You are humble and hungry; no task is too small or beneath you, and you will bring a just-get-it-done mindset to work every day.
  • You are self-driven and relentlessly proactive. You don’t need someone to tell you to 'move'. You just move. We’d rather have to tell you to slow down than to speed up.
  • You don’t wait on others to solve problems. You proactively step into the gap to offer solutions yourself.
  • You have strong analytical aptitude. You intuitively think about problems in terms of numbers and models, and you are able to execute analyses quickly in Excel.
  • You are comfortable communicating broadly and having a lot of eyes on your work. This role can at-times require comms to large groups and senior leadership. This should excite you!
  • U.S. Person status is required as this position needs to access export-controlled data.
  • Must also be able to obtain and hold a U.S. Secret-level Security Clearance.
  • Ability to travel 25 – 40% required.
Responsibilities
  • You will be cranking on analyses critical to developing a thesis on a market or specific company.
  • You will carefully scope research projects for our internal market research team, evaluate externally-produced research tools and reports, develop expert network screening questions and interview guides, navigate the federal budget and the J-books, and dive deeply into procurement data to understand market dynamics.
  • The slides you produce will be thoughtful, well-researched, and well-formatted for an executive audience.
  • Financial modeling is also a component of this job. You should be capable of pulling comps and assembling a valuation model with the ability to change scenarios based on the unique attributes of a particular business.
  • Obsessively take meeting notes, summarize findings and action items, and draft memos for internal and external executives.
  • Track the progress we made on deals every week and summarize into work products catering to different internal audiences.
  • Learn Anduril’s business top-to-bottom, and regularly interact with colleagues in hardware and software engineering, supply chain & manufacturing, finance, business development, government relations, etc.
  • Manage confidential projects with very sensitive information.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Anduril's recent $1.4 billion funding round at a $14 billion valuation underscores strong investor confidence and provides substantial capital for R&D and expansion.
  • The company's expansion plans, including new manufacturing facilities in Mississippi and Rhode Island, signal significant job creation and growth opportunities.
  • Selection by the U.S. Air Force for the Collaborative Combat Aircraft program highlights Anduril's strategic importance and potential for long-term government contracts.

What critics are saying

  • The defense sector's reliance on government contracts can lead to revenue volatility due to changing political and budgetary priorities.
  • Rapid expansion and scaling, such as the planned new facilities, may strain operational capabilities and lead to potential execution risks.

What makes Anduril unique

  • Anduril's Lattice platform uniquely integrates air, land, and sea autonomous systems, providing a seamless and comprehensive ISR solution unlike any other in the defense market.
  • The company's focus on advanced autonomous systems and AI-driven solutions sets it apart from traditional defense contractors who rely on conventional technologies.
  • Strategic partnerships, such as with Rheinmetall for anti-drone systems, enhance Anduril's capabilities and market reach, distinguishing it from competitors.
