The opportunity
The Business Development Recruiting team is responsible for attracting and hiring the talent that builds Anduril's growth engine. We recruit across the full spectrum of Business Development, including Capture, Strategy & Proposals, Business Development Representatives, Government Relations, and Program Management.
What you'll do
Own end-to-end recruiting across Business Development, Government Relations,: and Program Management, with flex capacity into adjacent Growth hiring during peak periods
Develop and execute sourcing strategies tailored to each sub-function,: recognizing that a capture manager pipeline rooted in the DoD acquisition community looks very different from a government relations pipeline built around former Hill staff and agency liaisons
Conduct screens that assess functional depth, customer knowledge, and: organizational fit, with an evaluation approach calibrated to each search — a capture lead requires different proof points than a proposal manager or a BD representative
Manage the interview process from intake through close: calibrate with hiring managers, prepare interview panels, facilitate debriefs, and drive offers to signature
Partner with BD and Growth leaders to understand current and upcoming hiring: needs, team composition, and the specific profiles that will succeed in each sub-function and division
Advise hiring managers on market conditions, compensation benchmarks, and: candidate availability across BD disciplines — including where cleared talent is concentrated and what it takes to move senior candidates out of primes or government service
What they're looking for
- Experience recruiting in defense, aerospace, or a related industry where: cleared talent, customer relationships, and program knowledge are central to candidate evaluation
- Familiarity with the DoD acquisition ecosystem: you understand what a PEO does, how capture campaigns work, and why a candidate's program history matters
- Experience recruiting across multiple BD sub-functions rather than a single: specialty (e.g., both capture and government relations, not just one)
- Track record of improving recruiting processes, interview design, or assessment frameworks
- Working knowledge of security clearance processes and how clearance status: affects pipeline timelines and offer strategy
- Established network or sourcing muscle in the defense BD talent market,: including candidates moving between primes, non-traditional defense companies, and government service
