About the Job

Requirements

  • Active Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information security clearance.
  • At least 10 years of experience in defense business development, capture, or growth leadership, with significant focus on Army command and control, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, or intelligence domains.
  • Deep operational fluency in the convergence of intelligence, fires, and mission command workflows, including sensor-to-shooter data pipelines and targeting architectures.
  • In-depth understanding of the modern Army command and control landscape and shifting acquisition boundaries.
  • A proven track record of directly shaping requirements at the program acquisition executive/program executive office level that resulted in captured programs valued in the 8- to 9-figure range.
  • Demonstrated success leading competitive captures that displaced or diluted entrenched defense incumbents.
  • An active network across PAE C2, T2COM, ASA(ALT), and operational units at the 1- and 2-star command levels.
  • A hands-on capture leadership style with deep command of pricing models, teaming strategies, proposal development, and executive gate reviews.
  • Experience leveraging rapid, non-traditional acquisition mechanisms, including Other Transaction Authorities and middle-tier acquisitions, and integrating software-first solutions into defense hardware programs.
  • Ability to brief general officers and draft rigorous, executable capture documentation.

Responsibilities

  • Own the Army growth plan, pipeline health, capture velocity, and multi-year revenue trajectory against the NGC2 scale plan.
  • Execute capture strategies to expand Anduril’s footprint across the Army, positioning its mesh and data infrastructure to capture the AIDP Data Layer and bridge mission command and intelligence to establish Anduril as the core architecture provider moving sensor data to shooters.
  • Engage program executive offices, Army acquisition executives, and requirements owners 12–18 months in advance of solicitations to align requirements with Anduril’s edge compute, mesh networking, and software-defined command and control capabilities.
  • Serve as the primary growth representative to Army acquisition executives, operational commanders at the 1- and 2-star level, and key leadership across PAE C2, T2COM, and ASA(ALT).
  • Personally direct capture campaigns for 8- and 9-figure programs from early shaping through proposal submission and contract award, orchestrating engineering, product, pricing, and teaming strategies.
  • Track competitor positioning across major programs to identify vulnerabilities, assess where incumbents are entrenched, and structure plays to displace or dilute their market share.
  • Maintain feedback loops between customer requirements and internal product and engineering teams to ensure what is sold can be built, delivered, and sustained at scale.

Desired Qualifications

  • Prior uniformed military service in Army intelligence, fires, or signal branches, with direct experience executing intelligence-to-fires workflows.
  • Prior capture, engineering, or operational experience directly supporting Army programs.
  • Prior experience operating within a venture-backed defense technology company or high-growth technology startup.
  • Working technical knowledge of mesh networking, edge compute infrastructure, and open-architecture software command and control systems.
  • A proven ability to build and scale a multi-hundred-million-dollar defense pipeline from early concept to scaled execution.

About the Company

Anduril

Builds autonomous weapons for the US and allies

Anduril builds autonomous weapons, such as drones, cruise missiles, and robot submarines, for the US military and its allies, often developing them with its own money before any order arrives. In 2024 it beat Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman for an Air Force contract to develop Fury, a pilotless jet that flies alongside crewed fighters. Its Lattice software merges camera and radar feeds into one live map and lets a few operators direct many drones and weapons at once, including other companies' systems. Governments buy its systems under contract, and Anduril builds much of the hardware in its own factories. Oculus founder Palmer Luckey co-founded Anduril in 2017, and it is based in Costa Mesa, California.
