About the role

Anduril Industries seeks a Business Operations Associate to design and operate the factory systems that manage procurement, logistics, and software licensing for a rapidly scaling production environment. The role blends business operations with system design to create repeatable, scalable workflows from need to production floor and to run them while building a maintainable, turnkey operation.

Responsibilities

  • Procurement engine (hardware & software). Design and run the process that turns a defined hardware or software need into a compliant purchase and an on-time delivery. This includes purchasing and approval workflows, cost allocation across business lines, vendor management, and reconciliation. Take defined needs from our engineering and site teams and drive them end to end.
  • Logistics & the dock-to-line pipeline. Own the physical flow from receiving dock to production floor: receiving, staging, verifying that what arrived matches what was ordered, deployment coordination, and the reverse logistics (swaps, refreshes, RMAs, and vendor returns) that a growing fleet generates. Make physical status match system status in your warehouse and ticketing tools.
  • Software licensing & compliance. Stand up the master software inventory (categorized by cost type and license type), drive the shift from individual to enterprise licensing on shared devices, keep procurement compliant with internal security review, and own the licensing procurement and accounting model.
  • Standards & scale (cross-cutting). Turn what you build into documented, repeatable SOPs and dashboards that run on process and not heroics. The systems should be designed from day one to scale with a rapidly growing fleet and to be turnkey operated.

Qualifications

  • Building from zero. Demonstrated track record of building operational processes or standing up a function from scratch.
  • Operating experience. 5+ years across operations, business operations, procurement, supply chain, IT/OT asset management, or a comparable generalist operating role, ideally in a fast-paced hardware, manufacturing, or defense environment.
  • One domain of depth. Real depth in at least one of: procurement/purchasing, asset/IT lifecycle management, or logistics.
  • Systems fluency. Fluency operating across connected systems (e.g., ticketing, warehouse, and ERP tools) and turning spreadsheet chaos into auditable process.
  • Influence without authority. Strong structured problem-solving and the ability to align Engineering, Operations, IT, Security, and Finance without direct authority.
  • Hands-on. Willingness to be hands-on; this role builds and does.
