Director, Business Development, Integrated Air & Missile Defense at Anduril Industries · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

The work starts earlier than the RFP. By the time a requirement is written, the architecture it assumes has usually already been chosen, and the useful work happened eighteen months before that in requirements documents, analyses of alternatives, and conversations with program offices and operational units about what is actually limiting them. You will spend a substantial share of your time there, and you will be measured on whether the programs that eventually get written have room in them for what we build.
Expect to travel up to 65%, concentrated in Huntsville, the National Capital Region, and the test ranges and operational units where this capability actually gets exercised.
Own the US IAMD pipeline and the number. Set the pursuit strategy, maintain the pipeline of record, build the forecast, and own the bookings commitment for the portfolio.
Shape programs before they are written. Engage program offices, requirements sponsors, capability development organizations, and operational units early enough to influence the architecture a future solicitation assumes.
Run captures end to end. Lead competitive assessment, black hat analysis, teaming strategy, price-to-win posture, and proposal strategy across multi-year pursuits, working with Capture and Proposal Operations.
Translate customer requirements into the product roadmap. Bring back what the customer actually needs in a form Product and Engineering can build against, including the parts that are inconvenient for the current baseline.
Build the teaming relationships. Structure partnerships with primes and subsystem suppliers who are, in most cases, also competitors. Know when subcontracting is the right path to a position and when it forecloses one.
Work the full range of acquisition pathways. Other Transaction Agreements, Commercial Solutions Openings, middle tier acquisition, software pathway programs, and traditional programs of record, including when each is the faster route to a fielded position.
Represent Anduril. Serve as a senior technical and commercial voice for the company with general officers, SES-level acquisition leadership, and at the forums where this community gathers.
