About the role

You're as comfortable in a room with our Executives defining the future of our employee experience as you are holding a millworker to a deadline.
If you have a disability or additional need that requires accommodation, please do not hesitate to let us.

Lead the strategic architectural design and build-out of the workplace pipeline, translating brand identity into the physical environment.
Partner in earnest with the Brand team to ensure every space reflects and reinforces True Anomaly's identity.
Engage directly with the Executive team to define and deliver the employee experience across our workplaces.
Identify, select, and manage strong external partners - architects, engineers, furniture vendors, and millworkers - holding them accountable to project KPIs for budget, schedule, and quality.
Develop, implement, and govern workplace design standards that ensure consistency, scalability, and quality across all sites.
Lead rigorous upfront due diligence on potential sites - in partnership with the Real Estate and Construction team - to surface risk, budget, and schedule implications early.
Develop creative solutions that meet workplace needs, including phasing strategies that support speed to market.
Balance security and compliance requirements with innovative design while maintaining brand integrity throughout.
Partner cross-functionally across Facilities - Real Estate, Construction, and Non-Production Operations - and with teams outside Facilities.
Be the offset. We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity.

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.
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.
We are looking for a development planner who believes the details and strategy are the work.
You architect the physical environment where our mission gets built, and you treat every dimension - the materials, the programming, the way a room makes someone feel when they walk in - as an exciting problem to solve.
You know that great spaces are won early, through rigorous due diligence, and that the best designers bring creative, pragmatic solutions when the mission demands speed.
This is a role for someone who leads through partnership, owns outcomes, and refuses to let intentionality slip.
