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 ROLE
As a Business Line Lead / Recruiting Manager, you are the single-threaded owner of talent delivery for a Business Line within one of Anduril's Divisions. You combine strategic business partnership with either hands-on recruiting execution (IC track) or direct people leadership (PL track) — and in most cases, both.
This role exists at the intersection of strategy and execution. You are embedded deeply within your Business Line — understanding its programs, products, revenue drivers, and leadership priorities at a level that allows you to translate business objectives into hiring strategies, prioritize demand against capacity, and ensure the right talent lands on the right programs at the right time.
On the IC track (BL Lead), you operate as a player-coach: personally executing the most complex searches while directing the priorities and quality of the recruiting squad aligned to your BL. On the PL track (Recruiting Manager), you add direct people leadership — owning performance management, coaching, career development, and capacity allocation for a team of recruiters while simultaneously acting as the strategic advisor for your BL.
In both tracks, you are the voice of the business to TA and the voice of TA to the business. You own the hiring plan, the reporting, the escalations, and the outcomes. This is the formalized leadership layer within our Business Line construct — the person who ensures every major program and initiative has the talent it needs to hit its milestones.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
WHO YOU ARE
You are a strategic operator who understands that recruiting exists to serve the business — not the other way around. You think in programs, milestones, and revenue impact, not just reqs and pipelines. You are equally comfortable building a multi-quarter hiring forecast and running a complex technical search. You build trust with senior leaders by delivering outcomes consistently and communicating with candor. Whether you lead people formally or through influence, you make the team around you better.
You chose this role because you want to own a business outcome — not just fill jobs. You want to be the person the General Manager calls when they're worried about their talent pipeline, and you want to be right when you tell them what's going to happen.
