ABOUT THE JOB

As the Communications Manager for the Air Dominance & Strike Division, you will be responsible for bringing the narrative and stories around some of Anduril’s most consequential and highest profile products and programs to life. You’ll drive communications campaigns, media strategy, and thought leadership that spotlight our capabilities across autonomous airpower, advanced effects, and mission autonomy. This role is perfect for someone who has both a deep appreciation of national security and a passion for aviation writ-large.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Own the narrative for the Air Dominance & Strike division and its three business lines: Autonomous Airpower, Advanced Effects, and Mission Autonomy.
• Develop and execute proactive communications campaigns to drive awareness, influence, and reputation among key audiences in defense, tech, and policy circles.
• Elevate division leadership as thought leaders by developing tailored narratives, preparing executive comms materials, and securing high-impact opportunities across media, speaking platforms, and strategic engagements.

• Ability to juggle multiple priorities with composure, judgment, and attention to detail.

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.

ABOUT THE TEAM

This role is part of Anduril’s Corporate Development team and reports to the Head of Corporate Development, with frequent interaction with the c-suite. This role is an excellent fit for someone who is smart, analytical, and willing to hustle, and who has an intense personal interest in securing American supply chains. The successful candidate will be both deeply thoughtful about building industrial capacity as well as biased towards taking discrete action that will benefit Anduril’s product portfolio.

ABOUT THE JOB

Anduril believes very strongly in designing and developing systems that can be produced by the supply chain that America and our allies already have, rather than the supply chain we wish we had. The majority of our products use commercial sector production processes, materials, and components, and Anduril generally prefers to rely on thriving competitive markets with many suppliers instead of vertically integrating our supply chain. As Anduril grows, we will provide additional signal to suppliers about our future needs, allowing them to make good decisions about investing in capacity and designing new products that we will want to use.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• You will develop a repeatable analytical process for assessing Anduril’s long-term industrial capacity needs. You will own this process, but you will also partner with leaders from Anduril’s business development, product, engineering, manufacturing, production and supply chain organizations to identify significant growth areas where Anduril should provide market signal in advance of demand
• You will work closely with internal colleagues to collect internal production targets, the design change landscape, and supplier production plans to set up a robust industrial capacity plan capable of scaling with multiple configurations and production rates. You will communicate forecasts to internal and external stakeholders that accurately reflect Anduril’s business requirements while hedging against potential upside or change in business direction
• In tandem with a deal leader from the Corporate Development team, you will identify specific areas where Anduril should increase the depth and breadth of available suppliers, and execute strategic partnerships and long-term supplier agreements to create increased capacity
• You will draft long-form thought leadership, talking points, and other collateral for Anduril’s executive team to use in discussion with elected representatives, customers, the White House, industry partners and in public communications. You will liaise with Anduril’s government and media relations functions to share our perspective on building industrial capacity
• You will guide and mentor peers and team members across the company to strengthen organizational resiliency and ingrain the concept of increasing industrial capacity in advance of demand
• You will define and incorporate organization-level processes and improvements that enable the business to scale and efficiently utilize its purchasing power, leveraging learnings from world-class manufacturers and other high-volume industries
• You will develop easy-to-read reporting and dashboards to measure team KPIs and support the program as it scales 

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS 

• 5+ years of work experience with demonstrated successes in a high-pressure role where pace and execution quality matters - management consulting, investment banking, internal strategy & operations, venture capital, elite government (e.g., legislative or executive branch) or business analyst roles
• Advanced proficiency in Excel, financial modeling and data analysis tools, and experience with financial reporting tools and ERP systems (i.e. Anaplan, Netsuite, Oracle, Foundry).
• Exceptional written and oral communication skills. You drive consensus through grounded arguments, interpersonal skills, and negotiation skills.
• Experience interfacing with leadership and executives - you understand how to cultivate trust and facilitate meetings for and engage with executives
• Combination ability to execute on a tactical level as well as put together a strategy to solve complex, ambiguous, cross-functional problems. You are comfortable rolling up your sleeves and diving deep into executing operational tasks that require high attention to detail and high organization skills, but you can also zoom out and create a strategy that solves high level problems for the business line, division, and company
• High ownership with the horsepower to juggle multiple (3-5+) large projects and priorities in parallel, at a rapid pace, and report out on progress regularly without dropping any balls
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment.
• Excited by large breadth of problems.
• Discerning and an incredibly fast learner
• Highly organized
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance
• Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities

PsiQuantum’s mission is to build the first useful quantum computers—machines capable of delivering the breakthroughs the field has long promised. Since our founding in 2016, our singular focus has been to build and deploy million-qubit, fault-tolerant quantum systems. 

Quantum computers harness the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems that even the most advanced supercomputers or AI systems will never reach. Their impact will span energy, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials, and other foundational industries. 

Our architecture and approach is based on silicon photonics. By leveraging the advanced semiconductor manufacturing industry—including partners like GlobalFoundries—we use the same high-volume processes that already produce billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics. Photonics offers natural advantages for scale: photons don’t feel heat, are immune to electromagnetic interference, and integrate with existing cryogenic cooling and standard fiber-optic infrastructure. 

In 2024, PsiQuantum announced government-funded projects to support the build-out of our first utility-scale quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia, and Chicago, Illinois. These initiatives reflect a growing recognition that quantum computing will be strategically and economically defining—and that now is the time to scale. 

PsiQuantum also develops the algorithms and software needed to make these systems commercially valuable. Our application, software, and industry teams work directly with leading Fortune 500 companies—including Lockheed Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Mitsubishi Chemical—to prepare quantum solutions for real-world impact. 

Quantum computing is not an extension of classical computing. It represents a fundamental shift—and a path to mastering challenges that cannot be solved any other way. The potential is enormous, and we have a clear path to make it real.
