At Anduril, we invest in our people.

We are looking for a Vendor Strategy & Performance Lead to oversee our global construction vendor ecosystem.

Develop Design & Construction’s vendor strategy across key project-delivery categories, including general contractors, construction managers, architects, engineers, owner’s reps, specialty consultants, commissioning agents, and more, ensuring comprehensive coverage across our global operating regions.

Build and maintain a preferred vendor bench by geography (including the US, APAC, Europe, and the Middle East), project type, technical specialty, security need, scale, and performance history.

Identify where Anduril should introduce new vendors to increase capacity, reduce risk, improve pricing tension, or access specialized capabilities.

Establish a repeatable pre-qualification process for construction, design, consulting, and specialty partners across our global vendor ecosystem.

Build vendor evaluation templates, interview guides, reference-check approaches, and scoring models that are rigorous but not bureaucratic.

The Design & Construction team at Anduril delivers the factories, labs, offices, and secure spaces that enable our teams to design, build, and deploy advanced defense technology. Our projects span high-performance manufacturing facilities, mission-critical secure environments, and collaborative workspaces, giving our team exposure to a uniquely wide variety of technical and operational challenges. More than just delivering buildings, we are (literally) rebuilding the American defense industrial base. Our work accelerates how quickly critical technology moves from concept to production and into the hands of the warfighter.

The Capital Operations team sits within Design & Construction and provides the operating backbone that helps the organization scale. We build the processes, tools, governance, analytics, standards, and special initiatives that help our construction project teams deliver faster, more predictably, and with better outcomes. Our focus areas include Project Controls, Design Integration, Strategy & Operations, and Vendor Strategy.
