About the job

Join Hadrian - Shaping the Future of Manufacturing

At Hadrian, we are revolutionizing the manufacturing landscape by creating autonomous factories that empower aerospace and defense industries to produce rockets, satellites, jets, and ships with unprecedented efficiency—up to 10 times faster and at half the cost. By integrating cutting-edge software, robotics, and comprehensive manufacturing capabilities, we are transforming the way America fabricates its most vital components.

Recently, we secured a $260 million Series C funding round to propel our mission forward. We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new 270,000-square-foot factory in Mesa, Arizona, which will generate 350 immediate job opportunities. Our new headquarters will facilitate thousands of future hires, we are launching Hadrian Maritime to enhance naval production, and introducing a Factory-as-a-Service model that provides complete systems rather than just individual parts.

Hadrian partners with innovative startups, Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, and leading defense contractors in aerospace, shipbuilding, and aviation sectors to scale production, minimize costs, and accelerate the delivery of mission-critical projects. Our vision is supported by prominent investors such as Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz. Our rapidly expanding team shares a common goal: to reindustrialize American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond!

Your Role:
As a Program Manager, you will play a crucial role in leading customer-centric execution and managing infrastructure delivery across both new and existing factory operations. This position is designed for those who thrive in dynamic, customer-facing environments and are adept at managing complex, cross-functional programs. You will be responsible for communicating with stakeholders, overseeing timelines, coordinating deliveries, and ensuring accountability among internal and external teams. Ideal candidates will have substantial experience in high-complexity settings, with a proven track record of driving execution and demonstrating leadership in ambiguous or high-stakes situations. We aim to recruit multiple candidates across various experience levels to support our parallel programs and delivery initiatives.

This position offers you an opportunity for growth into program leadership roles overseeing substantial delivery surfaces valued at over $100 million, which encompass new factory sites, high-priority federal initiatives, and extensive technical infrastructure.
