Senior Analyst, Proposals & Capture

ABOUT THE TEAM

The Proposals & Capture Team is responsible for championing 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

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. You will provide essential project management and content generation skills, expertly navigating the dynamic environment of a hyper-growth company and managing competing priorities with overlapping schedules. You will learn to craft compelling material to inform our customers’ market research and acquisition strategies, write technical narratives on cutting edge capabilities, build and implement pricing strategies, and collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to close deals. 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.

This role directly supports Anduril's Advanced Effects (AE) Business Line. Our Barracuda and Roadrunner products are at the forefront of delivering the capabilities our customers need to maintain strategic advantage. You will work alongside AE growth, engineering, and program teams to translate these technologies into winning proposals. Given the nature of AE programs, this role will periodically require working in classified environments to support sensitive proposal efforts.
