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.
We are a rapidly scaling defense technology company transforming how critical capabilities are designed, built, and delivered across maritime, air, ground, space, electronics, imaging, software/hardware systems, and AI domains. Today we support ~11,000 employees across a 5.5 million square foot portfolio of 80+ sites (90% U.S.). By the end of 2027 we will grow to ~18,000 employees and more than 10 million square feet; longer-term we are on a trajectory toward 50,000+ employees and over 20 million square feet.
The Real Estate & Facilities (RE&F) organization is a central corporate function that plans, delivers, and operates the physical workplace and infrastructure that enables every business division and G&A function. RE&F is currently organized functionally with teams for Strategic Real Estate, Design and Construction, Space Allocation and Planning) and Facilities Operations. We are seeking an exceptional Senior Director, Head of Global Facilities to lead the team responsible for facilities maintenance, operations, asset lifecycle management, and workplace services across the entire portfolio—production facilities, R&D/labs, and offices. This role will report directly to the Vice President of Global RE&F and will be a part of the global RE&F leadership team.
This is a high-impact leadership role for a proven operator who has scaled facilities organizations in complex, multi-site environments that include both production and R&D. You will build and evolve a high-performing team (the broader RE&F organization is expected to roughly double in the next year) during a period of hyper-growth, ensuring our infrastructure remains reliable, safe, compliant, and ready to support the company’s mission at increasing scale and velocity.
You will own the strategy, operating model, standards, performance, and continuous improvement of global facilities operations. You will partner closely with peer organizations in Strategic Real Estate, Design & Construction, Enterprise Space Solutions (Space Planning), Security, EH&S, IT, and the business division leaders whose production and product-development sites you support. Given that speed of delivery is a competitive advantage for Anduril, you will need to scale your organization to be able to open new sites with operational readiness and reliability while also balancing needs at existing sites improving and enhancing operational excellence while driving organizational capability and capacity needed to support rapid portfolio expansion.
You will have the rare opportunity to define and scale the facilities backbone of a defense technology company during a period of extraordinary growth. The portfolio will more than double in size in a short period, the organization you lead will expand significantly, and the work you and your team deliver will directly enable the company’s ability to develop and produce advanced capabilities at scale. You will report to the VP of Global RE&F, engage regularly with the CAO and other senior executives, and have clear visibility and impact across the Anduril enterprise.
