Partner with Design & Construction and Finance on major capital programs that expand or upgrade production and R&D capacity.
Vendor & Partner Management
Lead selection, contracting, performance management, and continuous improvement of facilities management providers, specialized maintenance contractors, and service partners. Drive performance management programs for accountability to SLAs, cost targets, and quality outcomes.
Safety, Compliance & Risk
Ensure facilities operations meet or exceed all applicable regulatory, environmental, health, safety, and (where applicable) security/export-control requirements. Embed strong EH&S practices into daily operations and culture.
Business Partnership & Stakeholder Alignment
Serve as a trusted partner to business division leaders and site operations teams. Translate product and production roadmaps into facilities capacity, reliability, and service requirements. Regularly engage with senior executives on facilities performance, risk, and investment priorities.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
15+ years of progressive facilities, engineering, or technical operations leadership experience, with significant multi-site and global (or large regional) responsibility.
Proven track record leading and scaling facilities organizations that support both production/manufacturing and R&D or laboratory environments in high-growth or complex technology, aerospace, defense, semiconductor, advanced manufacturing, or similar industries.
Deep experience with industrial and specialized facility systems (utilities, process systems, clean or controlled environments, high-reliability infrastructure) in addition to conventional office portfolios.
Demonstrated success building or transforming facilities operating models, implementing standards, managing large operating and capital budgets, and delivering measurable improvements in reliability, cost, and service.
Strong people leader who has built, developed, and retained high-performing teams through periods of rapid growth and organizational change. Experience leading both direct employees and outsourced/IFM partners.
Excellent cross-functional collaborator and influencer who can operate effectively with business unit leaders, engineering/product teams, finance, security, and other corporate functions.

Willingness to travel as needed to support a primarily U.S.-based but growing international portfolio.
WHY THIS ROLE
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.
