About this role
ABOUT THE JOB
Operations Associates at Anduril have two primary responsibilities:
- Improving Anduril’s Operations: Operations Associates work across & within every division and functional organization to improve the processes that define & support Anduril’s growth. Operations Associates build out data-capture and analytics-reporting muscles to drive positive change over the long term.
- Executing Special Projects: Operations Associates are frequently pulled into high-priority initiatives impacting many Anduril teams that must be solved, but do not fall neatly into the purview of an existing person’s job description. They are some of the first individuals to get tapped when a messy problem needs solving.

- Work on strategic problems, providing structure to ambiguity and helping shepherd cross-functional groups of stakeholders towards decisions on strategic issues. The role will ask you to couple first principles thinking with creative and iterative analysis to fully detail the impacts of potential decisions.
- Work deeply within data and systems, become intimately familiar with how our business systems (ERP, MR
