ABOUT THE JOB

We are seeking an International Project Logistics Leader to build, lead, and continuously improve Anduril’s international project logistics function. In this role, you will establish and scale a high-performance global logistics network — designing multimodal distribution and carrier strategies, owning international project logistics spend, and ensuring our supply chain is fast, resilient, and compliant in support of mission-critical programs. You will act as the enterprise owner of international project logistics while serving as the company’s logistics leader for FMS, DCS, and Security Cooperation programs, translating logistics expertise into winning pursuits and successful program execution at scale. You will operate with significant autonomy, exercise sound judgment on novel and ambiguous problems, mentor and develop staff, and represent Anduril in front of senior U.S. Government, partner-nation, and commercial stakeholders. At Anduril Industries, project logistics is a critical enabler of mission success. Join us. The world can’t wait.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

International Project Logistics Leadership

• Own and lead all international project logistics operations across Anduril’s deployed theaters — building, scaling, and continuously improving a high-performance regional logistics network that operates quickly and reliably worldwide.

• Serve as the enterprise owner of and primary point of contact for international project logistics strategy, partnering with global logistics leadership to align regional execution with enterprise strategy and objectives.

• Partner directly with the business — capture, programs, contracts, supply chain, and product teams — to shape pursuits, scope logistics requirements, and brief leadership on logistics risk, cost, and feasibility.

• Build the international project logistics playbook and operating framework — repeatable processes, templates, decision criteria, and standards — that the business executes against across pursuits, programs, and sustainment.

• Partner with regional Operations and Business Line teams to coordinate project logistics across multiple geographies.

• Align with engineering, procurement, and on-site/field teams to establish just-in-time (JIT) material flows and mitigate supply chain bottlenecks.

Carrier Strategy & Multimodal Execution

• Develop and execute carrier strategy across all required modes — over-the-road (LTL, FTL), air, ocean, and parcel — to move Anduril’s systems, spares, and support equipment internationally.

• In partnership with global logistics leadership, source, negotiate, and manage relationships with 3PLs, freight forwarders, and last-mile providers.

• Plan and execute the safe transport of oversized, heavy-lift, and non-standard cargo — including vessel chartering, specialized trucking permits, and route surveys.

• Direct transportation, parts, equipment, and software flows supporting Anduril’s international FMS, DCS and MRO programs worldwide; manage performance against cost, schedule, and delivery commitments.

• Drive service-level performance, cost optimization, and capacity planning across the network.

Logistics Strategy & Network Design

• Design and optimize distribution flows, routing strategies, and transportation service offerings across international theaters.

• Establish and scale in-country project logistics infrastructure — forward stocking locations, bonded and free-trade-zone warehousing, and local distribution partners — to support in-theater delivery and sustainment as Anduril expands manufacturing and sales globally.

• Identify opportunities for network efficiency and cost reduction and build scalable processes to support rapid growth and program expansion.

• Partner with internal compliance teams and customs brokers to ensure adherence to international trade laws, manage import/export documentation, and maintain compliance across all jurisdictions of operation.

• Proactively anticipate transport constraints, weather disruptions, and resource bottlenecks, and formulate actionable contingency and corrective plans.

• Ensure compliance with U.S. export-control regimes — including ITAR and EAR — and applicable end-use/end-user, licensing, and technology-transfer requirements across FMS and DCS transactions.

Procurement & Commercial Ownership

• Lead international project logistics sourcing and procurement in collaboration with the enterprise logistics strategy and team.

• Run RFPs, negotiate contracts, and manage vendor performance.

• Own international project logistics spend and deliver against cost targets.

• Support industrial participation, offset, and local-content commitments in partner nations — coordinating with in-country suppliers and logistics partners to meet contractual obligations tied to FMS and DCS sales.
