By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold.

As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

As the Supply Chain Manager, you will work across Anduril to ensure we are supporting our engineering teams in swiftly and sustainably building products that meet our client’s needs. You will work with engineering, manufacturing, and sales to source new suppliers, form strategic partnerships, plan effectively, and ensure our operational workflows effectively support the broader organization. You’ll be responsible for a blend of obtaining quotes, executing PO’s and managing end-to-end inventory in partnership with the engineering team as well as the primary individuals leading our key strategic partnerships externally, handling the relationship management and negotiations with our most important supplier relationships. Across all of this work, the role will interact heavily with Anduril’s US-based Supply Chain team to leverage existing processes, best practices, and strategies in order to implement the best possible system in Australia.

The right person for this role has a track record of leading Supply Chain initiatives in a fast-paced environment and a no-task-too-little that is critical for growing an organization from the ground up. If you are someone who likes a hands-on role, is comfortable being a builder, and can work across organizations well, the Supply Chain Manager opening is for you.

Partner with engineering and manufacturing to execute both tactical-level PO and inventory management as well as the formation of a Supply Chain strategy that meets critical business and financial benchmarks.
Own the supplier relationships, holding our suppliers accountable to supplier agreements and ensuring best in class service.
Oversee our planning, purchasing, and inventory workflows and staffing, working with our existing team leads on prioritization, staffing, hiring, managing our progress toward goals, and managing our execution on key metrics.
