ABOUT THE TEAM

As a new Sr. Analyst supporting the Proposal and Capture team, you will join the team that sits at the heart of Anduril’s growth engine. You will support the development and delivery of major proposals, partnering with stakeholders across Anduril’s business lines and functional teams, including growth/business development, legal, finance, engineering, program management and executive teams to win new business.

ABOUT THE ROLE

This role directly supports Anduril's Frontier Systems (AFS) Division. You will work alongside AFS growth, engineering, and program teams to translate a family of technologies, including radar, radio frequency, EO/IR, and defeat systems, into unified and winning proposals. You will need to bring strong copy editing skills and an analytical mindset to understand how internal strategy can be communicated to an external stakeholder; and ultimately, translate into wins.

With these baseline skills, you will progressively move into managing larger and more complex deals and supporting the internal process of bringing them from initial inception to contract close
