Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.
ABOUT THE TEAM
Anduril Maritime delivers platforms, systems and integrated effects in the maritime domain. Autonomous vehicles are central to these capabilities, with sustained emphasis on endurance, autonomy and mission capability. In Australia, the team’s work centres on Dive-XL. The Australian program spans the platform, payloads, autonomy and the supporting enterprise required to field and sustain the capability, delivered with an Australian workforce and an Australian supply chain, in close partnership with the Commonwealth.
ABOUT THE JOB
As Account Director - Maritime you will support Anduril’s customer engagement for Dive-XL in Australia. You will be a key stakeholder in the Australian customer relationship and a principal voice of the customer within the product organisation, working across the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), Naval Shipbuilding and Sustainment Group (NSSG), Defence Science and Technology (DST) Group and the Commonwealth departments that shape, sponsor and fund the program. You will operate as part of a broader engagement team spanning Growth, Programs, Engineering and Contracts rather than as the sole interface to the customer. The role combines operational background, capability development experience and commercial judgement. You will be credible discussing autonomy behaviours and payload trade-offs with engineering teams, familiar with how capability requirements are developed, contested and funded within Defence, and conversant with the ASDEFCON framework through which intent becomes contracted scope. This is a senior, externally facing role in which your operational judgement and customer insight will directly inform how an autonomous undersea capability is defined, developed and deployed.
Internal Interfaces
Product Director, XL-AUV: You report to the Product Director and provide prioritised customer and operational input to the Dive-XL roadmap, ensuring that Australian requirements are represented in product decisions and that customer commitments remain consistent with the capability plan.
SEA1200 Program Director: The Account Director and the SEA1200 Program Director operate as a partnership across the same program. The Program Director owns contract execution and the delivery organisation that performs it; you own the customer interface, keeping the contract sold and creating the conditions to extend it. Both roles work from a shared understanding of commitments, delivery performance and customer expectations, and neither succeeds without the other.
Growth and Global Defence: You work with the Growth organisation and Anduril’s Global Defence teams to identify, qualify and support capture opportunities, aligning Australian pursuits with wider international campaigns and ensuring that positioning in Australia is consistent with the company’s global approach to allied undersea programs.
Engineering, Programs and Test and Evaluation: You provide the operational context behind requirements and represent the customer’s perspective in design, trials and acceptance discussions, so that engineering effort remains anchored to real warfighting problems.
