Senior Software Product Manager
Anduril
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.
The Business Systems team is responsible for building and improving the many business systems that enables Anduril to accomplish its mission. Anduril’s supply chain, accounting, sales & growth, engineering, field maintenance, manufacturing, and many more teams rely on the technology built by us. We work across the company to ensure we have the tools and capabilities necessary for mission success.
As the Product Manager for the FinanceOS platform, you will be responsible for Anduril’s unique workflow software that enables excellence for our finance, accounting, and other internal stakeholders. You will be responsible for:
- Developing the roadmap for our timekeeping application, Jolt
- Managing finance, accounting, and people stakeholder requirements and synthesizing them into a prioritized backlog
- Communicating across stakeholders and key internal customer groups on development and roadmap
- Integrating finance and accounting tools with surrounding business applications and ensuring total compatibility with data models across systems
- Conducting needs assessments and identifying incremental process and product solutions
- Aligning Jolt and any future tools’ roadmap against targeted business outcomes
- Monitoring and tracking user adoption and product performance to understand if business outcomes are indeed successful
Product Strategy
You can “see around the corner'” for your product, crafting the vision, high-level roadmap, and critical dependencies for 12-18 months into the future. You constantly engage with stakeholders to solicit input and buy-in, proactively communicating product goals and managing expectations for delivery. You escalate large trade offs and necessary decision points as needed. You work effectively with many internal teams to synthesize their needs but are never afraid to make important decisions as the owner of your product.
Problem discovery and Solution Generation
You will identify potential features that will accelerate Anduril’s goals, increase our ability to quickly scale, and create an excellent user experience. To do this, you will seek out real-world context in the form of onsite user research, internal expert feedback, existing product data, and industry tech investigation. You will capture core workflows and translate these user needs into well-scoped requirements and success hypotheses.
Product Execution
You lead with data - defining and monitoring key metrics to measure success and prove out or disprove hypotheses. You author problem statements, product hypotheses and roadmaps with conviction, and honestly and regularly revisit to ensure we are meeting the mission needs. No one knows more than you on how the product works, both functionally from a user perspective or technically from an engineer’s perspective.
Product Prioritization
You will set clear outcomes for your portfolio in partnership with your engineering, design, and business partners. You will support team structures that allow prioritization of competing work within rapid development cycles. You consistently your team flex to adapt goals when needed, based on new information.
Delivery
You work hands-on to deliver new capabilities across the lifecycle of the product, from initial release and onboarding, through day-to-day improvements. You will validate and experiment along the way, acting as the voice of the user throughout.
