About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Logistics Coordinator to join the Australia logistics function within Deployment Operations. This role is central to the coordination and execution of Anduril Australia's international and domestic freight operations, with a strong emphasis on carrier management, international freight coordination, and operational visibility across all modes of transport.
