Work closely with Anduril's European General Manager and business development teams to support market entry, customer engagement, partnerships, and key events.
Build and manage a network of regional agencies and contractors as European operations expand.

Required
10+ years of experience in communications, public affairs, or media relations.
Fluency in the European defense and political landscape across multiple countries, how decisions get made, who shapes opinion, and where the conversation is heading.
A track record of building communications programs in new markets, not just inheriting them.
Experience managing agencies, contractors, and regional communications networks across borders.
Exceptional writing and strategic thinking, with the ability to develop narratives that land across cultures and audiences.
Comfortable working autonomously in an early-stage market environment, with the judgment to make calls without a lot of process around you.
You'll excel in this role if you:
Have built something before, a market presence, a regional program, a communications function, and know what that actually requires.
Can hold complexity: different countries, different threat perceptions, different industrial interests, all requiring distinct approaches under a coherent strategy.
Know Europe's defense ecosystem personally, the journalists, the institutions, the officials who shape how these conversations evolve.
Are energized by the moment Europe is in, and want to help shape how one of the most important defense technology companies in the world shows up in it.
