ABOUT THE JOB
We are seeking an experienced, results-driven, Partnership Manager to join our Mission Command business line and help lead the partnership strategy for the Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) program — one of the most significant and fast-growing programs in the defense technology landscape.
This role sits at the intersection of business development, technical integration, account management, and delivery. You will own critical partner relationships end-to-end, driving tangible outcomes — not just announcements — across multi-year engagements. You will work closely with engineering, product, program management, and senior leadership to ensure that our partner ecosystem accelerates mission outcomes and revenue growth.
This is a high-visibility position with direct impact on one of the largest programs in Anduril's portfolio. If you thrive in fast-paced environments where no two days look the same and where your work directly shapes national security outcomes, this role is for you.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Own partner relationships end-to-end. Manage the full lifecycle of multiple high-visibility partnerships — from initial engagement and scoping through contract execution and delivery — ensuring measurable outcomes for both Anduril and our partners.
Serve as one of the primary points of contact for assigned partners, streamlining communications, maintaining strategic alignment, and deconflicting engagements across Anduril's broader organization.
Drive integration and interoperability. Work hands-on with engineering teams and partners to ensure seamless technical integration of partner capabilities into the NGC2 architecture. Understand system interfaces, data flows, and integration dependencies well enough to troubleshoot issues and unblock progress.
Manage internal and external stakeholders. Navigate complex, multi-stakeholder environments — coordinating across Anduril engineering, product, program management, business development, and customer organizations to keep partnerships aligned and moving forward.
Be business-minded. Establish and report on key performance indicators (KPIs) for partner relationships, drive revenue growth, and identify new partnership opportunities that expand the program's reach and capability.
Ensure delivery excellence. Coordinate complex logistics and get hands-on with Anduril technology to ensure partners can effectively integrate and operate our products. You are as comfortable in a lab or field environment as you are in a boardroom.
Represent Anduril with credibility. Engage confidently in formal customer engagements, partner workshops, and demos. Communicate clearly and compellingly to audiences ranging from engineers to general officers.
Identify and vet new partners. Continuously evaluate the partner landscape, prioritizing potential partners based on technical fit, mission alignment, program access, and strategic value.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
Demonstrated experience managing multiple complex, technical partnerships simultaneously — such as in technical program management, systems integration, or account management roles
Experience managing B2B and prime-subcontractor relationships, including agreement and contract development, negotiation, and execution
Familiarity with systems integration concepts and a willingness to go deep on technical details — including getting on the command line when needed to debug integration issues alongside engineering teams
Strong account management instincts: you know how to track deliverables, manage expectations, and keep multiple workstreams moving in parallel
Proven ability to manage competing priorities across internal and external stakeholders while maintaining clarity, organization, and follow-through
Excellent communicator — comfortable presenting to large groups and senior leadership, and energized by high-visibility work
Humble but relentlessly proactive. No task is too small, and you bring a bias for action every day
Willingness to travel up to 35% for partner engagements, demos, customer deliveries, and workshops
Must possess an active U.S. Secret clearance
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Active U.S. Secret security clearance with ability to obtain TS/SCI
Experience with defense acquisition processes (SRR, PDR, CDR, PRR, etc.)
Background in systems integration, software integration, or technical interoperability — particularly in multi-vendor or coalition environments
Experience with core business operations processes including purchasing, invoicing, and accounts payable
Direct experience working with or selling into the U.S. military and/or major defense system integrators
Familiarity with autonomous systems, command and control software, or related aerospace and defense technologies
Experience using or managing integrations with mission command, battle management, or C2 platforms
