About the role
- The Division Talent, Planning & Strategy role acts as the embedded planning partner for one division at Anduril Industries, running its demand and capacity picture.
- This position requires going deep into the division's programs, hiring managers, market, and constraints to produce synthesized recommendations rather than simple data dumps.
- Operating as part of a centralized function, the role focuses on divisional depth and judgment to feed the broader enterprise view.
Responsibilities
- Run the headcount planning and capacity model for the division on the central methodology, tracking approvals, updating scenarios, and managing change control.
- Maintain a live view of recruiting capacity against incoming demand and produce a rolling three-month capacity roadmap.
- Operate the framework for how business lines in the division submit, justify, and prioritize hiring needs to turn disparate requests into one source of truth.
- Sequence divisional demand against constrained capacity with a data-backed rationale based on revenue impact, contract milestones, single-point-of-failure roles, and ramp dependencies.
- Program manage the division's section of the monthly hiring check-in end to end, covering capacity against demand, productivity, funnel health, and SLA compliance.
- Act as the divisional counterpart on recruiting and delivery analytics, talent quality, and market analytics, and maintain fluency in Juno Recruiter Allocation.
- Proactively raise signals regarding programs, contract milestones, hiring managers, and market dynamics before they require escalation.
- Report international movement affecting the division to the Head of Global TA Planning & Strategy, ensuring international expansion lands on the same methodology as domestic demand.
- Own the TA market mapping for expansion asks when the business evaluates new sites, facility expansions, or new countries for the division.
- Act as planning SME on projects touching the division, process improvements, system enhancements, and reporting maturity.
Requirements
- 3+ years of professional experience with a foundation in talent acquisition, recruiting coordination, or a planning, operations or analytics role.
- Demonstrated ability to build structure in genuinely ambiguous situations, where the process did not exist and the data was incomplete.
- Strong data skills: proficient in Excel or Google Sheets, capable of maintaining and extending a headcount and capacity model and explaining what moved.
- Experience operating a recurring planning, reporting or demand intake process.
- Able to translate analysis into a short, decision-ready narrative for leadership.
- Strong slide craft: able to turn a capacity picture into a handful of executive slides that carry the recommendation on the page rather than in an appendix.
- Understanding of the recruiting lifecycle and capacity math well enough to catch an infeasible plan.
- Experience influencing stakeholders who do not report to you.
- Comfort operating with high autonomy and making prioritization calls with limited guidance.
Preferred qualifications
- Experience in BizOps, FP&A or Strategy and Ops in addition to a TA background.
- Experience in a matrixed or divisional org where planning means aligning stakeholders with different incentives.
- Familiarity with HRIS (Workday, ChartHop), ATS (Greenhouse), and BI or analytics platforms.
- Exposure to the DivOps or BizOps embedded partner model.
- Defense, aerospace or other program-driven hiring environment.
