From Anduril's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center.
As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.
Anduril’s Legal Team seeks a Legal Counsel-International to support our international government and commercial businesses and deploy the future technology of defense. In this role, you will work on every aspect of Anduril’s business, from helping the business development team drive new government deals, to negotiating hardware, license and services agreements, offset arrangements, and industrial cooperation obligations, to handling intellectual property, compliance, and related matters. This position is based in Cosa Mesa, CA.
This role will be part of Anduril’s Deal Team, which supports the full lifecycle of Anduril contracts and includes government contracts lawyers, contract managers, and proposal managers.
This role will directly support Anduril’s Global Defense work in the Asia-Pacific and Americas regions, partnering closely with our International Trade Compliance, Business Development, and Program teams. The Global Defense team aligns against customers and thus works with all of Anduril’s Divisions and products.
In this role, you will be responsible for providing legal review and guidance on issues related to proposals, procurement, contracting strategies, and day-to-day program execution for the applicable Anduril Division in partnership with the Global Defense team. You will have a robust understanding of international commercial and government contracting, including cross-border software, hardware, data rights, and services agreements, and be comfortable owning terms and conditions (T&Cs) redlines and negotiations end-to-end.
Familiarity with Direct Commercial Sales (DCS), Foreign Military Sales (FMS), and hybrid FMS/DCS structures is valued, but the primary focus of this role is international commercial transactional work. A working knowledge of U.S. government contracts, the FAR, and DFARS is a useful foundation.
Anduril is a fast-growing company at the early stages of growth. Consistent with this fast growth, members of Anduril’s Legal Team must be resourceful, creative, and eager to take ownership of complex matters. The Legal Counsel-International role will require creativity and resourcefulness to navigate complex procurement and compliance rules, with a singular focus on helping Anduril deploy its path-making technology into operational settings for the United States’ allies.
In addition to helping capture and execute new government deals, you will work on all other aspects of Anduril’s business, from negotiating license, hardware and services agreements, to bid protests and litigation, to handling intellectual property, and compliance matters. Experience across all of these areas is not expected, but a willingness to learn and adapt is.
The Legal Counsel-International will be expected to take responsibility for significant, material projects, which will have a significant impacts across the company. Our team is passionate about the law and policy of defense technology and software contracting and you should have an independent interest in the key issues in this field. Anduril fosters a collaborative culture with tremendous opportunities for ownership and professional growth.
The Legal Counsel-International will be expected to travel, on average, 1 week each month, including international travel to APAC and Americas customer sites. This position requires flexibility to support calls with Anduril’s international employees and customers outside standard business hours when not traveling.
