About the Team

Anduril is building the technology that will transform defense and national security. Our People team is at the center of that mission, ensuring the organization scales as fast as the problems we're solving. Within People, the People & Leadership Development function is moving from early-stage pilots to enterprise-wide programs that reach every manager and leader across a complex, matrixed organization. This role sits at the heart of that transition.

About the Job

We are looking for a Senior People Program Manager to own the scaling of Anduril's leadership development, team coaching, and manager effectiveness programs. Today, we are running a series of successful pilots across the business in coaching, team development, and leadership summits. What we need now is someone who can take what's working, build the roadmap, and operationalize it into a centralized offering that serves the entire company.

You will partner directly with People leadership to define the future state, project-plan the path to get there, and execute relentlessly. This person will be equal parts strategist and operator: comfortable presenting program outcomes to senior leadership in a QBR one day and facilitating a team offsite the next.

• •Own the transition from pilot to scale for Anduril's leadership and people development programs, including group coaching, manager and high-potential development, team onsites, leadership summits, and team effectiveness offerings.
• •Build and manage the multi-year program roadmap, defining what a centralized leadership development offering looks like at Anduril by 2027 and the milestones to get there.
• •Serve as the primary operator and project manager for all people development initiatives, using structured briefs, trackers, and stakeholder communication to keep work on schedule.
• •Guide team's evaluation of current pilots with a critical eye: determine what is delivering value and what needs refinement. Use qualitative feedback and quantitative data to inform those calls.
• •Identify and evaluate technology solutions that can accelerate people development at scale, from coaching platforms to learning management systems.
• •Help facilitate onsite and offsite experiences, owning the operational end while, when needed, leading facets of team development sessions, leadership workshops, and cross-functional summits.
• •Present program strategy, progress, and outcomes to senior leadership with clarity and confidence.
• •Partner across the People org and with business leaders to understand development needs, tailor programming, and build buy-in for new offerings.
• •Scope the resourcing model: determine when and how to build out a bench of facilitators, coaches, or vendors to support scaled delivery.

• •Strong project management instincts: builds structure in ambiguous environments and drives complex, cross-functional work to completion.
• •Executive presence and communication skills to present confidently to senior leaders, facilitate workshops, and craft compelling narratives around program vision and outcomes.
