Supply Chain Operations Program Manager

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.
ABOUT THE TEAM
Supply Chain Operations sits within Anduril's central Supply Chain organization. It owns how material actually arrives, and the data and systems behind it: what suppliers ship, how it is packaged, labeled, and documented; the EDI and Supplier Portal connections that carry purchase orders, shipments, and invoices; and whether all of it can be received, processed, and put to use without touching a person twice. We make the operational requirements executable at every dock and every connection, across a rapidly growing and diverse supplier network. The work is measured in problems permanently removed, not tickets closed.
ABOUT THE JOB
You are responsible for getting material through receiving at Anduril's Orange County sites and for getting suppliers to comply with delivery, packaging, and labeling requirements, not just acknowledge them. When material does not clear the dock, you resolve it, find the root cause, and fix it so it does not recur. You own execution: enforcement, evidence, and fixing what is broken on the receiving floor and in the supply base's compliance with our policies. This is a hands-on, on-site role: you will be on the receiving floor daily, working exceptions and supplier issues in person.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Own receiving exception throughput for Anduril's sites: triage, drive to resolution, and reduce the recurrence rate of receiving failures
Own receiving readiness through warehouse consolidation moves, taking migrated part families from cutover to first clean receipt without interrupting production
Drive supplier execution of Anduril's delivery, packaging, labeling, and serialization requirements, including barcode and traceability marking
Partner with Supplier Quality Engineering on root cause and corrective action for repeat receiving failures: own the receiving-side evidence, then verify at the dock that the fix held
Make internal receiving and traceability requirements executable for suppliers through clear part-level instructions, documentation, and training
Own the rollout of supplier-facing policies and requirements end to end: prioritize suppliers by spend, risk, category, and performance, then build the supplier lists, notices, FAQs, and acknowledgment tracking that move each policy from approved document to live practice
Triage supplier questions, disputes, and exception requests on policies and requirements, routing each to the right internal owner and seeing it through to resolution
Automate enforcement workflows, including issue detection, evidence intake, supplier notifications, and charge requests, and enforce supplier policies consistently, assessing recovery and escalating unresolved or repeat problems
Pull your own data, define the metrics that matter, and publish recurring reporting on receiving performance and policy adoption by site and by supplier that leadership and suppliers both act on
Identify the system and process defects behind receiving failures and policy non-adoption, build the evidence, and drive them to engineering or systems owners as fixes rather than absorbing them as recurring manual work
Partner across Material Flow, Supplier Quality Engineering, Supplier Compliance, Procurement, Program Supply Chain, Finance, and IT to get requirements aligned and executed consistently across sites
Engage suppliers and contract manufacturers directly, including on-site visits, to drive readiness before material ships
Supply the receiving-side fault evidence that supplier accountability programs depend on, including chargebacks and supplier performance reviews
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
Bachelor's degree in supply chain, industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering, business, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
3+ years of experience in supply chain, receiving or warehouse operations, logistics, supplier quality, procurement, supplier management, or supply chain analytics
Hands-on experience with an ERP and/or WMS (Oracle, SAP, NetSuite, Odoo, or similar), including how receiving transactions and purchase order data actually behave
Strong data skills: advanced Excel, and comfort writing queries or working in SQL, BI tools, or an analytics platform rather than waiting on a report
Experience working directly with external suppliers or partners on operational requirements, including rolling out and enforcing business processes by documenting them, assigning owners, and getting cross-functional and external teams to follow them
Clear written and verbal communication, including professional correspondence with suppliers and internal stakeholders
Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage many suppliers, deadlines, and open items at once, with a bias for action and comfort creating structure out of ambiguity
Willing to work on-site daily across warehouse and manufacturing locations in Orange County, with occasional travel to supplier and contract manufacturer sites
Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Experience in aerospace, defense, or high-mix hardware manufacturing receiving environments
Working knowledge of packaging, labeling, serialization, barcode and DataMatrix marking, ASN, or supplier portal enablement
Familiarity with supplier quality and receiving concepts such as NCRs, SCARs, CoCs, and FAI
Experience through a site consolidation, warehouse move, or ERP/WMS cutover
Experience with supplier performance metrics or supplier corrective action processes (8D, 5-Why, or equivalent)
SQL, Python, or experience with Palantir Foundry or a comparable analytics platform
Lean or Six Sigma training, or demonstrated structured problem solving in a production environment
Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
