Director, European Strategic Communications

ABOUT THE TEAM

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.

QUALIFICATIONS

• 10+ years of experience in communications, public affairs, or media relations.
• Fluency in the European defense and political landscape across multiple countries, 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 land 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.

You'll excel in this role if you:

• Have built something before, a market presence, a regional program, a communications function, and know what that actually requires.
• Can hold complexity: different countries, different threat perceptions, different industrial interests, all requiring distinct approaches under a coherent strategy.
• Know Europe's defense ecosystem personally, the journalists, the institutions, the officials who shape how these conversations evolve.
• Are energized by the moment Europe is in, and want to help shape how one of the most important defense technology companies in the world shows up in it.
