About the role

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.
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.

Responsibilities

Lead and conduct internal investigations and ethics assessments across the full spectrum of corporate legal matters-including white-collar and financial misconduct, procurement and government contracting integrity, anti-corruption/FCPA, trade and export controls, employment and workplace conduct, intellectual property and trade secrets, privacy, cybersecurity, and data protection.
Manage the full investigative lifecycle: intake and triage, evidence preservation and collection, witness interviews, fact-finding, root-cause analysis, findings, and remediation.
Design, implement, and continuously improve Anduril's compliance programs, policies, and internal controls in partnership with business organizations and the broader Legal team.
Develop and maintain policies, procedures, playbooks, and templates aligned with Anduril's contractual and regulatory obligations.
Building and maintaining high-trust relationships with these stakeholders is essential to Anduril's continued success.
Support audits and assessments across regulatory domains, and prepare the company to respond to government inquiries and enforcement actions, including associated civil and criminal matters.
You will not merely react to problems; you will help design the systems that surface them early, resolve them decisively, and make the company stronger for it.
Via Agency Partner: If contacted by a recruiting agency for an Anduril role, their email will clearly identify their agency.

Requirements

Must be (1) admitted to practice and a member in good standing of the bar of any state.
Must be a U.S. Person due to the requirement to access U.S. export-controlled information and facilities.

Nice to have

Strong experience with government audits, assessments, and investigations (e.g., DCMA/DCAA reviews, DIBCAC assessments, inspector general investigations, DOJ, SEC inquiries, DDTC or BIS).
Experience engaging with enforcement authorities and regulators (e.g., DOJ, SEC, DoD, state attorneys general).
Experience across multiple compliance domains-anti-corruption, export controls, government contracts, ethics, employment, or data protection.
Relevant certifications (e.g., CFE, CIPP, CCEP) or a willingness to obtain them.
Pre-law-school technical background or experience working alongside engineers and technical practitioners.
Strong interest in defense technology and autonomous systems.

This is a generalist investigations and ethics role.
You will lead and support internal investigations, audits/assessments, ethics responsibilities, data governance, and enforcement matters spanning the full range of legal disciplines that arise inside a global defense prime-white-collar and financial matters, government contracting and procurement integrity, anti-corruption and FCPA, trade and export controls, employment and workplace conduct, intellectual property and trade secrets, ethics and Code of Conduct violations, data governance, privacy, and cybersecurity.
