Supply Chain Security Counterintelligence Lead

The Counterintelligence (CI) Team’s mission is to safeguard Anduril’s people, assets, operations, and supply chain through proactively understanding, identifying, analyzing and countering threats from insiders and external entities, specifically foreign intelligence services. The CI team helps ensure our security environment remains vigilant and resilient so that our strategic interests are preserved. We are committed to anticipating and mitigating risks and threats enabling Anduril to innovate and operate confidently in a dynamic global environment.

Anduril is seeking a professional to support the CI team who is interested in a unique opportunity to help strategize, socialize and implement a CI program which requires significant critical thinking, creativity, complex problem solving and interpersonal skills, as well as the ability to work across a rapidly growing, global, dynamic organization to identify and mitigate threats. The Supply Chain Security CI Lead is responsible for leading the CI team’s support to Anduril’s Supply Chain Team and various supply chain security initiatives. The role will involve the development and implementation of analytic efforts and workstreams that integrate across key business processes and stakeholders to proactively identify potential nation state threats to the supply chain to enable rapid mitigation and informed decision making.
