About the Role
Anduril’s Maritime team develops, tests, deploys, and sustains the Anduril Maritime Fleet in challenging operational environments worldwide. We are seeking a Technical Program Manager to lead international deployment execution for a maritime undersea domain awareness program. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, program management, and customer delivery — you will own the end-to-end execution of international demonstrations and system deployments, from planning through on-site execution. You will be the connective tissue between product teams, engineering, operations, business development, and international customers. This is not a role where you manage from a distance — you will be in the details, in the room with the customer, and accountable for delivery.
What You'll Do
- Own planning, scheduling, and execution of international system deployments and demonstrations for undersea domain awareness capabilities
- Build and maintain program schedules in Jira, ensuring milestones, dependencies, and critical path items are current and visible to all stakeholders
- Develop and maintain milestone trackers, risk registers, and action item burndowns across multiple concurrent workstreams
- Drive technical alignment across hardware, software, and systems engineering teams to ensure deployment-ready configurations meet customer requirements
- Prepare and deliver technical briefings and program status reviews to international customers, senior leadership, and cross-functional stakeholders
- Coordinate logistics for international hardware shipments including export compliance, temporary import/permanent export documentation, and customs coordination
- Identify and manage risks and dependencies across engineering, supply chain, compliance, and operations — escalate early and with proposed mitigations
- Translate customer requirements into actionable engineering tasking and ensure product teams understand the operational context behind what they're building
- Keep Jira updated as the single source of truth for schedule status — ensure sprint planning, epic tracking, and program milestones reflect reality, not aspirations
- Drive alignment across stakeholders who don't always agree — get decisions made, documented, and executed
- Support contract amendment processes, milestone payment tracking, and deliverable acceptance with the customer
- Document product baselines, configuration states, and deployment readiness criteria in Confluence
- Operate as the single point of accountability for deployment readiness — if something isn't tracking, you own the recovery plan
You Should Have
- 5+ years of technical program management experience, preferably in defense, maritime, or aerospace
- Demonstrated ability to manage international customer engagements and deployments in high-stakes environments
- Strong technical foundation — able to go deep on systems architecture, integration challenges, and hardware/software trade-offs without relying on engineering to translate for you
- Experience building and presenting technical briefings to senior military and government stakeholders
- Track record of managing complex, multi-team schedules with interdependent milestones and hard deadlines
- Proficiency in Jira for program scheduling, sprint management, and milestone tracking — you treat the tool as a real-time reflection of program health, not an administrative chore
- Exceptional organizational skills — you are the person who tracks every action item, every dependency, every open risk, and doesn't let things fall through
- Comfort operating in ambiguity and high-pressure situations where the plan is changing and decisions have real consequences
- Experience with export control processes (ITAR/EAR) and international logistics
- Familiarity with DoD acquisition processes, contract structures (FFP, T&M, CPFF), and milestone-based deliverables
- Ability to travel internationally up to 25%, including extended deployments for demonstrations
Nice to Have
- Experience in undersea warfare, autonomous systems, or maritime ISR programs
- Background in systems engineering or test & evaluation
- Active Secret clearance or ability to obtain one
- Experience working with Indo-Pacific partner nations
- Experience with Confluence for documentation and product baseline management
You Are
- The person who walks into a room and knows the status of every open item without checking their notes
- Comfortable telling a room of senior leaders that something is off track and presenting the recovery plan in the same breath
- Energized by complexity, not overwhelmed by it
- Someone who builds trust with customers through competence and follow-through, not slides and promises
- Direct, organized, and allergic to ambiguity that hasn't been resolved
