Hadrian - Manufacturing the Future
Hadrian is building autonomous factories to reindustrialize America. 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.
Following 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.
Backed by leading investors including JPMorgan Chase, Valor Equity Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, 137 Ventures, Lux Capital, T.
What you'd do
- You've worked in a high-growth, operationally intense environment—startup, manufacturing, defense, or similar—where you had to build programs while the business was moving at full speed.
- You have hands-on experience with Jira Service Management or a comparable service management platform, and you understand how to use it as a strategic operational tool rather than just a ticketing system.
- You've led an AI or automation implementation in a People or operations context - not just recommended it, but scoped it, rolled it out, and measured the impact.
- You're an exceptional communicator who can write a crisp project brief for the CHRO and a clear how-to guide for a new hire on the factory floor—and you know the difference between the two.
- You see the People function as a lever for business performance, not a support function that reacts to requests.
- Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need.
- Flexible vacation policy
- Equity
What they want
- 5+ years of experience in People operations, HR consulting, program management, or a closely related field, with a track record of owning complex, cross-functional initiatives from scoping through delivery.
- Demonstrated experience with process improvement and operational design - you've looked at broken or inefficient workflows and built better ones, ideally with technology or automation as part of the solution.
- Familiarity with AI tools and automation platforms (Claude, Zapier, Workato, or similar) and genuine curiosity about how they can be applied to People operations.
- Strong project management fundamentals: you work from a plan, communicate proactively, manage dependencies, and don't let things fall through the cracks.
- Comfortable with data - you can pull a report, interpret what it's telling you, and translate it into a recommendation that a business leader can act on.
- High adaptability: you're energized by a shifting scope, not unsettled by it, and you bring structure to ambiguous situations rather than waiting for it to be handed to you.
What you get
- Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees
