We are focused on closing the real world mission experience capability gap in the force by delivering best-in-class realistic training solutions.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Develop and execute Mission Simulation & Training capture strategies to drive the go-to-market and grow the Warfighter Systems Mission Simulation & Training business
• Identify new business opportunities within the Department of War and other government agencies, both domestically and internationally.

• 5–8 years of experience in Mission Simulation & Training business development, capability development, or acquisition

The Corporate Development team at Anduril has the coolest job in the tech sector - we lead Mergers & Acquisitions activities for the most interesting defense products company in the world, and we create meaningful strategic partnerships with other fast-moving startups and large global corporations. As a Corporate Development Associate, you will perform market research on areas of the market into which we are considering expansion, evaluate the capabilities of potential targets within that market, research previous M&A transactions and comparable public companies, value target businesses, and assist in deal execution.

This role is most similar to an associate-level position in finance or strategy consulting, with slightly more focus on execution and tangible financial analysis and without the typical pretense of those industries.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• You will be cranking on analyses critical to developing a thesis on a market or specific company. It’s helpful if you are already familiar with the defense market, but fast learners can catch up pretty quickly. You will carefully scope research projects for our internal market research team, evaluate externally-produced research tools and reports, develop expert network screening questions and interview guides, navigate the federal budget and the J-books, and dive deeply into procurement data to understand market dynamics.
• We’re not huge on PowerPoint decks, but the slides you produce will be thoughtful, well-researched, and well-formatted for an executive audience.
• Financial modeling is also a component of this job. You should be capable of pulling comps and assembling a valuation model with the ability to change scenarios based on the unique attributes of a particular business.
• Obsessively take meeting notes, summarize findings and action items, and draft memos for internal and external executives. Track the progress we made on deals every week and summarize into work products catering to different internal audiences.
• Learn Anduril’s business top-to-bottom, and regularly interact with colleagues in hardware and software engineering, supply chain & manufacturing, finance, business development, government relations, etc.
• Manage confidential projects with very sensitive information.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• You have 2+ years of experience in management consulting, investment banking, or private equity/venture capital.
• You are humble and hungry; no task is too small or beneath you, and you will bring a just-get-it-done mindset to work every day.
• You are self-driven and relentlessly proactive. You don’t need someone to tell you to “move”. You just move. We’d rather have to tell you to slow down than to speed up.
• You don’t wait on others to solve problems. You proactively step into the gap to offer solutions yourself.
• You have strong analytical aptitude. You intuitively think about problems in terms of numbers and models, and you are able to execute analyses quickly in Excel.
• You are comfortable communicating broadly and having a lot of eyes on your work. This role can at-times require comms to large groups and senior leadership. This should excite you!
• U.S. Person status is required as this position needs to access export-controlled data. Must also be able to obtain and hold a U.S. Secret-level Security Clearance.
• Previous experience in aerospace and defense highly preferred. 
• Ability to travel 25 – 40% required.

Since its inception, the Voting Rights Project has litigated hundreds of voting rights cases, and has aggressively and successfully challenged efforts to suppress voting or to dilute minority voting strength.

The Project’s mission is to build and defend an accessible, inclusive, and equitable democracy free from racial discrimination. The Project has three principles: (1) all Americans should be eligible to vote; (2) voting should be free and easy; and (3) all people should count equally.

The Project employs an integrated advocacy approach, combining legislative advocacy, public education, and litigation, and has active cases in over a dozen states. Its recent docket has included:

• more than 60 lawsuits to protect voters during the 2020 and 2024 elections;
• a pair of cases in the U.S. Supreme Court challenging the first Trump Administration's discriminatory census policies: Department of Commerce v. New York (successfully challenging an attempt to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census), and New York Immigration Coalition v. Trump (challenging the exclusion of undocumented immigrants from the population count used to apportion the House of Representatives);
• challenges to discriminatory congressional and state legislative maps, including three recent cases in the U.S. Supreme Court: Louisiana v. Callais (2025), defending Louisiana's congressional map, which contains two majority-Black districts in compliance with the Voting Rights Act; Alexander v. South Carolina NAACP (2024), challenging South Carolina’s congressional map as an unconstitutional and starkly racially gerrymandered map; and Allen v. Milligan (2023), successfully challenging Alabama’s congressional map as unlawfully diluting the Black voting power under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act;
• challenges to voter purges and documentary proof of citizenship laws;

Position Summary:

Are you a future-focused leader eager to reimagine the talent structures of the federal government? If so, Democracy Forward Foundation (“Democracy Forward”) is hiring a Director of the Future of Government Talent Program to join our team.

The next era of effective government depends on the teams behind it—how they’re structured, how they work, and who’s on them.

Democracy Forward is launching a bold, multi-year initiative to reinvent how the federal government organizes and deploys its talent—and we’re seeking a visionary and operationally grounded Director of the Future of Government Talent Program to lead this work.

This is a chance to lead a systems transformation effort that will design the teams, skills, and staffing models our federal government needs to deliver—now and in the decades ahead. By building modern talent and team structures across government functions, this initiative will help ensure the government is ready with the people and capacity to deliver results when it is ready to build and hire. 

This position is full-time. Democracy Forward’s office is located in Washington, DC. While this position offers flexibility to work remotely, it requires regular in-office presence eight (8) times per month (averaging 2 times per week) to effectively support the nature of the role. Remote candidates within the United States will also be considered. If a candidate is outside of the DC area, travel to DC is expected 1-2 times per quarter.

The Director of the Future of Government Talent Program will report to the Director of Democracy Works 250 and work closely with staff and fellows on the Civil Service Strong team.

Our North Star:

Democracy Works 250 is designing the teams—and finding the people—that will power a modern federal government.

This initiative will create the talent models and actually find the people needed to equip government with agile and interdisciplinary teams that can deliver on the policies and programs Americans expect. By transforming how government organizes its people, we aim to transform how government shows up for the people it serves.

Key Responsibilities:

Below are the key areas of responsibility for this role. The specifics of each responsibility may vary based on the needs of the organization and department.

Design Interdisciplinary, Future-Ready Government Teams:

• Lead a team of fellows to redesign process across key federal functions (e.g. HR, procurement, regulation, customer experience, technology, AI, public engagement).
• Build and manage a small internal team of HR and technical experts supporting cross-functional design and research.
• Support organizational leadership in cultivating a culture of accountability, inclusivity, and excellence, including through providing real-time support and skills-development for your team.
• Convene and collaborate with external domain experts (AI, regulatory, HR, tech, etc.) to co-design staffing models that reflect how modern delivery actually works.
• Ensure new team models are agile, tech-enabled, interdisciplinary, and built to solve real problems, not replicate outdated org charts.

Build a National Strategy to Source and Prepare Talent:

• Develop and implement a strategy to identify and recruit mission-ready talent from federal alumni and state/local leaders to private-sector innovators and community-rooted practitioners.
• Define the skills, values, and lived experience needed for 21st-century public service and shape the strategies that bring those people in.

Oversee Development of a Civic Talent Platform & Training Curriculum:

• Lead the development or procurement of a digital platform to match individuals with redesigned teams and government missions.
• Lead partnership development with organizations to provide training on key, cross-cutting skills for future talent.

Co-Design with Communities and Institutions:

• Build and manage partnerships with academic institutions, public interest orgs, workforce programs, and civic tech networks.
• Lead co-design sessions with partners across the ecosystem—bringing in the lived expertise of those who know what functional teams must look like (e.g., regulators, procurement specialists, technologists).

Bridge Strategy Across Projects:

• Align the talent initiative with the other projects in Democracy Works 250: federal oral history project, personnel policy, and agency redesigning efforts.
• Collaborate with legal, research, and communications partners to test, refine, and package talent transformation and recruitment efforts.
• Contribute to and collaborate across other DW250 projects.

Who You Are:

A Builder with Bold Imagination:

• You design what doesn’t yet exist and know how to lead a team and partnerships to get there.

Fluent in Talent—from Government and Beyond:

• You understand the complexity of public sector hiring and the dynamism of modern private-sector team structures and you can translate across both worlds.

A Strategic Recruiter and Workforce Planner:

• You know how to define the teams a mission requires, find the people to staff them, and remove the barriers that keep good people out of government.

Collaborative and Equity-Driven:

• You bring humility, inclusion, and shared ownership to every partnership. You believe better government starts with better people—and better systems to support them.

Qualifications:

We recognize that strong candidates may not meet 100% of the qualifications listed. If you believe you can contribute meaningfully to our team, we encourage you to apply.

• 10+ years of experience in workforce development, organizational design, talent strategy, or public sector innovation.
• Experience managing small, high-capacity teams in cross-functional and collaborative environments.
• Deep understanding of both federal hiring systems and modern, mission-aligned talent models.
• Demonstrated ability to build distributed strategies and work across technical, policy, and community-based teams.
• Excellent project management, facilitation, and stakeholder coordination skills.
• Well-developed collaborative and interpersonal skills including demonstrated self-awareness, commitment to diversity and inclusivity, and ability to work with colleagues and stakeholders across diverse cultures and backgrounds.

Work Environment & Physical Demands:

Organization: Results for America

Role: Director, New Cities, City Experience - What Works Cities
Location: Flexible, within the United States 

Organization Overview

Results for America (RFA) is the leading, national nonprofit organization helping policymakers at all levels of government harness the power of evidence and data to solve the world’s greatest challenges. Our mission is to make investing in what works the “new normal,” so that, one day, all government leaders use rigorous evidence and quality data to inform important policy and funding decisions. We believe that data-driven and evidence-based policy decisions should be used to increase the impact of the over $2 trillion that governments spend annually to open opportunities and advance economic mobility. 

Team Overview

At Results for America, one of our flagship initiatives is What Works Cities (WWC), a Bloomberg Philanthropies–funded initiative that helps city governments across the country improve residents’ lives by using data and evidence effectively to tackle pressing challenges. To accomplish this, we work directly with city leaders and staff through coaching and implementation support, a range of online and in-person learning opportunities, and a growing professional network. This support is guided by What Works Cities Certification, the first-ever international standard of excellence for data-driven, well-managed local government.

What Works Cities Certification assesses cities based on their data-driven decision-making practices, such as whether they are using data to set goals and track progress, allocate funding, evaluate the effectiveness of programs, and achieve desired outcomes from contracts with outside vendors. The program also measures whether cities are publicly and transparently communicating about their use of data and evidence. By aspiring toward Certification and implementing the best practices outlined in the program’s criteria, cities across the country are more effectively delivering results for residents. Since our launch in 2015, we have helped more than 300 cities make progress on their most pressing issues, from health and public safety to homelessness and blight.

What Works Cities is now entering an exciting new phase. The initiative will continue scaling across North, Central, and South America, surpassing the milestone of 100 Certified cities while also exploring other regional markets. WWC is also developing innovative ways for cities to engage and build capacity from those just beginning their Certification journey to those deepening their work as Certified cities.
