About the role

Senior leadership development and people development program manager responsible for scaling Anduril’s leadership development, team coaching, and manager effectiveness programs from pilot to enterprise-wide implementation.

Responsibilities

  • Own the transition from pilot to scale for Anduril's leadership and people development programs, including group coaching, manager and high-potential development, team onsites, leadership summits, and team effectiveness offerings.
  • Build and manage the multi-year program roadmap, defining what a centralized leadership development offering looks like at Anduril by 2027 and the milestones to get there.
  • Serve as the primary operator and project manager for all people development initiatives, using structured briefs, trackers, and stakeholder communication to keep work on schedule.
  • Guide team’s evaluation of current pilots with a critical eye: determine what is delivering value and what needs refinement. Use qualitative feedback and quantitative data to inform those calls.
  • Identify and evaluate technology solutions that can accelerate people development at scale, from coaching platforms to learning management systems.
  • Help facilitate onsite and offsite experiences, owning the operational end while, when needed, leading facets of team development sessions, leadership workshops, and cross-functional summits.
  • Present program strategy, progress, and outcomes to senior leadership with clarity and confidence.
  • Partner across the People org and with business leaders to understand development needs, tailor programming, and build buy-in for new offerings.
  • Scope the resourcing model: determine when and how to build out a bench of facilitators, coaches, or vendors to support scaled delivery.

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of experience in people development, leadership development, organizational development, or program management within a People/HR function.
  • Demonstrated experience deploying leadership or manager development programs at scale within a large, matrixed organization.
  • Strong project management instincts: you build structure in ambiguous environments and drive complex, cross-functional work to completion without waiting to be told what to do.
  • Executive presence and communication skills that allow you to present confidently to senior leaders, facilitate workshops, and craft compelling narratives around program vision and outcomes.
  • You are both high ownership and low ego, approaching everything with strong outcome orientation and high humility.
  • Comfort with data: you can interpret program feedback, build a case for investment, and adjust your approach based on what the numbers say.
