Director of Communications - European Defense Technology

About the Role

Anduril Industries is seeking a Director of Communications to join our team in Europe. This remote Director of Communications role will focus on building and leading our external communications presence across the continent. As a key player in shaping the narrative around modern defense technology, you will have the opportunity to influence how Anduril is perceived in one of the world's most consequential defense markets.

What You'll Do

• Build Anduril's European communications program from the ground up, developing strategy, establishing infrastructure, and executing across markets with varying levels of maturity and priority.
• Drive media relations across defense, technology, business, and policy outlets in priority European markets, building the relationships and pipelines that will sustain long-term coverage.
• Develop and execute market-specific narrative strategies that connect Anduril's mission and capabilities to each country's defense priorities, industrial ambitions, and security context.
• Work closely with Anduril's European General Manager and business development teams to support market entry, customer engagement, partnerships, and key events.
• Build and manage a network of regional agencies and contractors as European operations expand.
• Partner with global communications, policy, and marketing teams to adapt core messaging for European audiences without losing coherence or accuracy.
• Engage think tanks, research institutions, and policy communities to build credibility and shape the broader discourse around defense innovation and allied cooperation.
• Own metrics and reporting frameworks to track progress and demonstrate impact across markets.

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in communications, public affairs, or media relations, ideally with meaningful time spent in defense, national security, or dual-use technology sectors.
• Fluency in the European defense and political landscape across multiple countries, understanding how decisions get made, who shapes opinion, and where the conversation is heading.
• A track record of building communications programs in new markets, not just inheriting them.
• Experience managing agencies, contractors, and regional communications networks across borders.
• Exceptional writing and strategic thinking, with the ability to develop narratives that resonate across cultures and audiences.
• Comfortable working autonomously in an early-stage market environment, with the judgment to make calls without a lot of process around you.

Nice to Have

• Experience in the defense technology sector.
• Established relationships with European media and defense institutions.
• Knowledge of AI, computer vision, and related technologies.

What We Offer

• Highly competitive salary range of $120,000 to $150,000 per year.
• Equity grants as part of the total compensation package.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans at little to no cost.
• Generous paid time off with a holiday hiatus in December.
• Access to mental health resources and professional development reimbursement.
• Relocation assistance available depending on role eligibility.
