Product Manager, Planning

ABOUT THE TEAM:

ArsenalOS Data (Planning) sits within ArsenalOS and is responsible for building planning software that accelerates the production and delivery of customer-ready hardware. Planning is a foundational capability that underpins everything across the ArsenalOS landscape - connecting engineering supply manufacturing and sustainment into a coherent system that can scale with Andurils growing portfolio of programs and hardware lines.

ABOUT THE JOB:

We are looking for an experienced Product Manager to own and build out the foundational planning tooling that powers Andurils operations. This isnt just a greenfield deployment - its about defining and constructing the planning layer from the ground up while keeping the business running. Everything from the data models to the workflows integrations and interfaces that will allow Anduril to plan production at scale.

As the Product Manager for Planning you will be responsible for Andurils proprietary planning infrastructure - the systems that translate demand signals into build plans and supply chain purchases. Youll be responsible for working with cross-functional dependencies and giving operators and leaders visibility into whats coming and whats at risk.

WHAT YOULL DO:

• Defining the foundational architecture of planning tooling determining what needs to be built what can be integrated and how planning data flows across supply chain manufacturing and sustainment systems
• Developing a long-term strategy that navigates complex product tradeoffs and integration dependencies to stand up a planning capability that can scale with Andurils production ambitions
• Managing stakeholders requirements across operations supply chain manufacturing engineering and finance - synthesizing competing needs into a prioritized backlog that sequences the work and communicate it to the business
• Communicating roadmap progress and constraints across a broad set of stakeholders and interested parties as the planning tooling matures from early-stage to production-grade
• Exploring and incorporating cutting-edge technologies from optimization engines AI-assisted scheduling and modern data infrastructure. Anything that enables Anduril to plan better and faster.
• Driving adoption and enablement of planning solutions across operations and business teams recognizing that foundational tools only deliver value when people trust and use them

Product Strategy

• • You can see around the corner for your product crafting the vision high-level roadmap and critical dependencies for 612 months into the future. Because youre building the foundation youll think carefully about sequencing: what primitives need to exist before more advanced capabilities are possible. You constantly engage with stakeholders to solicit input and buy-in proactively communicate product goals and manage expectations for delivery. You escalate large tradeoffs and 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.

Product Prioritization

• • You work backward from your strategy to set clear outcomes in partnership with your engineering design and business partners. You understand that foundational work often competes with urgent operational needs and you make deliberate choices about when to invest in long-term infrastructure versus short-term relief. You support team structures that allow prioritization of competing work within rapid development cycles and you consistently let your team flex to adapt goals based on new information.

Problem discovery and Solution Generation

• • You become attached to problems not solutions. To do this you seek out real-world context in the form of onsite user research internal expert feedback existing product data and industry investigation. Because planning is inherently cross-functional you map dependencies and constraints across teams to understand not just what planners need today but what the system needs to support as Anduril scales. You capture core workflows and translate user needs into well-scoped requirements and success hypotheses.

Product Execution

• • From design to delivery you fill gaps wherever needed to make your well-scoped solutions a reality. You communicate with internal team members and external stakeholders approach solutions with humility and creativity in order to hit milestones and set a high bar for the product you own. Getting the details right matters.

• Experience building foundational or platform-level products where you had to define core data models system boundaries and integration patterns alongside feature development
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to balance requirements across engineering design data and business stakeholders
• Comfortable working with internal and external stakeholders across a wide range of technical comfort
• Demonstrated success decomposing a problem into addressable component parts and arranging the correct sequencing
• Proven ability to see around corners by crafting product strategy for 6-12 months into the future
• Comfort in maturing a product from MVP to enterprise-grade production
