AI in this role
Lead global sourcing strategies, supplier management, and commercial negotiations for defense manufacturing.

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. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center.

ABOUT THE JOB
At Anduril, our Global Sourcing Managers are the architects of our supply chain, bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and global manufacturing scale to deliver mission-critical hardware. You’ll dive into a fast-paced environment, partnering with multidisciplinary teams to design, scale, and secure robust, high-performance global supply chains. We're seeking talented Sourcing professionals with deep expertise in supplier negotiation, category management, and strategic partnership development to help build the next generation of defense technology.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Own the Category Strategy: Develop and execute end-to-end sourcing strategies across your assigned category, balancing cost, quality, lead time, capacity, and supply security to meet aggressive program timelines.
- Build the Supplier Base: Identify, qualify, and onboard best-in-class domestic and international suppliers. Own the relationship through QBRs, scorecards, capacity planning, and continuous performance management.
- Lead Commercial Negotiations: Structure and negotiate complex supplier agreements — MSAs, SOWs, LTAs, pricing agreements, and NRE terms — to lock in favorable commercial terms and de-risk supply.
- Partner Cross-Functionally: Embed with Engineering, Quality, and Manufacturing during NPI to align design intent with supplier capability, drive design-to-cost, and get parts qualified and flowing on schedule.
- De-Risk the Supply Chain: Track market dynamics, geopolitics, and upstream constraints. Identify single points of failure and stand up dual-source, buffer, or vertical-integration strategies before they become production stoppages.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience: Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Business, Engineering, or a related field, with 10+ years in global sourcing, strategic procurement, or supplier management inside a high-tech or regulated manufacturing environment.
- Commercial Depth: Working command of commercial contract law, should-cost modeling, and a track record of closing high-value, technically complex agreements.
- Category & Supply Base Management: Demonstrated success managing a global supplier base, running audits, and scaling supply from prototype through high-rate production.
- Technical Fluency: Comfortable reading engineering drawings and specs, and translating cleanly between engineers and supplier commercial/technical counterparts.
- Clearance: Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance.
