Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it.
OUR MISSION
True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground.
OUR VALUES
- Be the offset. We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity.
- What would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results.
- It’s the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together.
YOUR MISSION
We are looking for a construction people leader to take ownership of how True Anomaly turns plans into physical reality across our entire portfolio. You'll lead construction across every site — setting the standards, the processes, and the bar for quality, while developing and scaling the team to meet future demand. This is a hands-on leadership role: until the team is staffed to match the project pipeline, you'll roll up your sleeves and carry projects directly. You're equally credible directing a contractor on a job site, coaching an individual contributer, and sitting across from cross-functional leaders to align construction with the broader mission. You measure your success by two things: a high-performing team and a construction function that runs like a well-oiled machine.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Lead a construction team and third-party general contractors that strategically support projects of varying scale across the entire portfolio. Develop and grow the existing team, strategically hiring additional talent to meet both current and future demand against the project pipeline. Define, implement, and govern construction standards and processes that support long-term portfolio needs while ensuring consistency, quality, and scalability across all sites. Direct short-term project execution — including project management, pricing/estimating, and scheduling — to deliver projects on time and on budget. Translate brand and operational requirements into the physical environment across all spaces, balancing innovative design with security and compliance. Serve as a strategic leader and cross-functional partner inside and outside Facilities.
