## About the role

Anduril’s Air Defense programs in the Middle East are growing quickly, and we are looking for a Deputy Program Manager to support execution of a large, strategic Air Defense program. The Deputy PM will manage the internal engine carrying out program execution—schedule and cost management, logistics execution, and program controls—in direct support of the program’s Senior PM, who owns executive-level coordination, management of external partner relationships, overall program delivery, and associated business growth. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

- 5+ years of program or project management experience in defense or aerospace, with demonstrated ability to manage complex, multi-team execution
- Experience managing integrated master schedules, cost baselines, and earned value or similar program control disciplines
- Strong cross-functional coordination skills — comfortable driving alignment across engineering, operations, logistics, finance, and contracts without direct authority
- Proficiency with variety of digital tools (Jira, Confluence, Slack, MS365) and adept at AI integration to streamline project management, task tracking, and visualization
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, low-bureaucracy environment where you are expected to drive outcomes with minimal oversight
- Willing to travel up to 50% of the year: 35% OCONUS (Middle East region), 15% CONUS travel
