By combining AI, advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we help aerospace and defense companies build rockets, satellites, aircraft, ships, and other mission-critical systems up to 10x faster and at significantly lower cost.\nFollowing our $1.37B Series D at a $7.87B valuation, Hadrian is rapidly expanding our manufacturing footprint, launching new capabilities across welding, casting, forging, electronics, additive manufacturing, and more, while scaling our Factory-as-a-Service platform to transform how critical products are built.\nBacked by leading investors including JPMorgan Chase, Valor Equity Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, 137 Ventures, Lux Capital, T. Rowe Price, and Morgan Stanley, we’re building the future of American manufacturing-and looking for exceptional people to help make it happen.\nIf you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.\nThe Role:\nHadrian builds autonomous, scalable manufacturing to strengthen the national security supply chain. As Program Manager, customer deployments, you’ll scope, execute, and ultimately own the high-impact customer programs and factory stand-ups necessary to enable Hadrian’s mission to reindustrialize defense and aerospace.\nYou’ll turn ambiguous customer problem sets into structured analyses, program strategies, and business cases that drive go/no-go decisions and execution. Applying first-principles thinking, you’ll produce the executive-ready deliverables that move programs forward: customer proposals, pricing analyses, execution plans, and schedules. You’ll also run and execute these programs with direct P&L responsibility.\nYou’ll work directly with the CEO and senior leaders, connecting shop-floor reality, executive priorities, and government opportunities to define and launch new programs across the U.S. defense industrial base. We’re looking for someone who can own outcomes and can seamlessly move from a conversation with a C-suite customer to making sure your colleagues complete their badge paperwork.\nWhat You’ll Do\nProgram Development & Scoping\nDefine new programs and their early execution phases alongside the CEO and senior leaders\n\nRun customer discovery, working meetings, and site visits to gather unstructured data and shape programs\n\nSurface cost, schedule, and delivery risks early, and drive the mitigation and execution plans\n\nOwn factory and production-line stand-ups end to end - capital plan, long-lead equipment, site readiness, workforce ramp, and the reviews that clear a line to start producing\n\nStrategic Problem Solving & Business Analysis\nDrive high-impact initiatives that accelerate Hadrian’s growth across aerospace and defense\n\nBuild quantitative models that turn operational and customer problems into roadmaps, investment cases, and ROI frameworks\n\nConnect manufacturing performance data to business priorities and government program needs\n\nBring structure and decisions to ambiguous, high-stakes manufacturing and execution challenges\n\nSupport proposal development and capture management, including for follow-on business (e.g., RFP submissions, Statement of Work development)\n\nOwn program financials: budget, cost-to-complete, and margin, with a clear forecast of where each program lands\n\nWork with contracts, quality, and legal to keep programs inside their contractual and regulatory obligations, and flag early where contract terms, export rules, or security requirements drive cost and schedule\n\nCross-Functional Execution & Delivery\nDrive execution across engineering, operations, supply chain, and software\n\nOwn cross-functional workstreams end to end - scope, schedule, risk, and stakeholder alignment\n\nStand up and scale PMO systems (e.g., Work Breakdown Structures, Integrated Master Schedules, Earned Value Management)\n\nRun the operating rhythm: recurring reviews, milestone and dependency tracking, and program dashboards\n\nCarry programs from qualification and first-article approval through full rate production and handoff to steady-state operations\n\nExecutive Communication & Stakeholder Leadership\nBuild and deliver executive presentations, business cases, customer proposals, and internal program materials\n\nSynthesize technical, operational, and strategic inputs into clear narratives\n\nLead program reviews, status updates, and risk reporting\n\nAct as the primary point of contact for customer program offices, including on site at customer facilities, and position Hadrian for follow-on work\n\nWhat We’re Looking For\nExperience: 6+ years in management consulting, federal programs, manufacturing, or operations/strategy roles, ideally within aerospace, defense, or industrial environments. You’ve owned programs or workstreams, not just supported them.\n\nEducation: Bachelor’s in Business, Economics, Operations, Engineering, or a related field. Master’s degree is a plus.\n\nTravel: Willingness to travel 20-40% domestically to customer and manufacturing sites.\n\nA&D Familiarity: Direct work in aerospace and defense manufacturing - with Primes, OEMs, Tier 1/2 suppliers, or large industrial programs. Cross-functional experience across Operations, Finance, Engineering, Program Management, or Business teams is a plus.\n\nCommunication: Strong written and verbal skills. You build executive-grade PowerPoint independently and present to senior internal and external stakeholders on your own.\n\nOwnership & Ambiguity: You thrive in fast-paced, evolving environments - proactive, organized, and able to bring structure to complex problems without being told how.\n\nEligibility: U.S. person status required. Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance is a plus.\n\nCompensation\nFor this role, the target salary range is $151,000 - 220,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).\nThis is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range may be modified in the future. An employee's pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.\nBenefits for Full-time Employees\nMedical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees 401k\n\nRelocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need.\n\nFlexible vacation policy\n\nEquity\n\nITAR Requirements\nTo conform to U.S. Government export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen or national, lawful permanent resident, protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State. Learn more about the ITAR here.\nUse of AI in hiring\nHadrian uses AI-assisted tools in our recruiting and hiring processes to help our team work more efficiently. This may include tools that help organize and analyze recruiting data, as well as an AI-powered notetaker that can record and transcribe interviews and help coordinate feedback. These tools support our team and are not used to make hiring decisions. All candidate evaluations and hiring decisions are performed by humans. If an interview will be recorded, you will be notified in advance and may opt out at any time with no impact on your candidacy. Candidate data processed through these tools is subject to the same protections described in our Privacy Policy.\nConsideration of Criminal History\nHadrian will consider for employment qualified applicants with criminal histories in a manner consistent with the requirements of all applicable laws. We do not ask about criminal history on our application, and we do not consider criminal history before making a conditional offer of employment.\nHadrian Is An Equal Opportunity Employer\nHadrian does not unlawfully discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, national origin/ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, marital status, mental status, physical disability or any other legally protected status.
