- Dear Hiring Manager
- I am writing to express my interest in the Executive Assistant position at Anduril Industries. As a Citadel management student with hands-on leadership training and experience coordinating complex logistics in both corporate and production settings, I bring a combination of organizational strength, adaptability, and problem-solving that aligns well with the demands of this role. In my role as a Locations Manager Assistant on a large-budget film, I was responsible for scouting and securing sites, negotiating contracts, managing schedules, and coordinating with multiple stakeholders to ensure smooth operations under strict deadlines. This experience sharpened my skills in logistical planning, negotiation, and clear communication, all of which are vital in supporting executives at a fast-paced, innovative company like Anduril. As a Warehouse Operator at Service Industrial Supply, I further developed my ability to manage time-sensitive tasks, handle high-value equipment, and maintain efficiency in dynamic environments. Combined with my leadership training at The Citadel, where I honed self-discipline, accountability, and team coordination, I have built a strong foundation for handling the operational, administrative, and interpersonal responsibilities of an executive support role. What excites me most about Anduril is its mission-driven culture and focus on innovation in defense technology. I am eager to contribute to that mission by ensuring executive operations run seamlessly, allowing leadership to focus on strategic priorities. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my background can support Anduril’s success. Thank you for your time and consideration.
- Sincerely
- Charles J. Daughtrey
