Project ManagementLeadershipMentoring

About the role

This is a hands-on leadership role: until the team is staffed to match the project pipeline, you'll roll up your sleeves and carry projects directly.
You measure your success by two things: a high-performing team and a construction function that runs like a well-oiled machine.

Lead a construction team and third-party general contractors that strategically support projects of varying scale across the entire portfolio.
Develop and grow the existing team, strategically hiring additional talent to meet both current and future demand against the project pipeline.
Define, implement, and govern construction standards and processes that support long-term portfolio needs while ensuring consistency, quality, and scalability across all sites.
Direct short-term project execution - including project management, pricing/estimating, and scheduling - to deliver projects on time and on budget.
Translate brand and operational requirements into the physical environment across all spaces, balancing innovative design with security and compliance.
Serve as a strategic leader and cross-functional partner inside and outside Facilities.
Be the offset. We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity.

10+ years of experience in construction
Define construction-team KPIs and have a proven track record of holding team accountable to hitting KPIs
Experience managing third-party general contractors across projects of varying scale to internal KPIs
Demonstrated ability to define and govern construction standards across multiple sites
Track record of delivering projects on time and on budget directly and indirectly
Experience scaling a construction function in a high-growth environment
Required

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 construction people leader to take ownership of how True Anomaly turns plans into physical reality across our entire portfolio.
You'll lead construction across every site - setting the standards, the processes, and the bar for quality, while developing and scaling the team to meet future demand.
You're equally credible directing a contractor on a job site, coaching an individual contributer, and sitting across from cross-functional leaders to align construction with the broader mission.

If you have a disability or additional need that requires accommodation, please do not hesitate to let us.
