People Operations Program Manager

Hadrian - Manufacturing the Future

Hadrian is building autonomous factories that help aerospace and defense companies manufacture rockets, satellites, jets, and ships up to 10x faster and up to 2x cheaper. By combining advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we are reinventing how America produces its most critical parts.

We’re accelerating our mission with the launch of Factory 3 in Mesa, Arizona, a 290,000-square-foot facility creating 350 new jobs. We are expanding rapidly to support thousands of future hires, launching Hadrian Maritime to expand into naval production, and introducing a Factory-as-a-Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts.

Hadrian is backed by leading investors including T. Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast-growing team is united around reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond.

The Role:

The People Operations team builds the infrastructure that lets Hadrian scale. We think in systems, work like product managers, and put the people experience at the center of everything we do.

We are hiring a People Operations Program Manager to identify where our processes break down, build smarter workflows, and drive the strategic programs that shape the employee experience at Hadrian. You'll be the person who looks at how we work and asks 'how do we make this 10x better'—whether that means redesigning a process, introducing an AI-powered solution, or owning a company-wide people program end to end.

One quarter you're standing up our tiered support model and mapping AI automation opportunities. The next you're running the performance review cycle or turning engagement survey results into action. You are a strong project manager, a clear thinker, and a builder - and you thrive when the scope is broad and the work is meaningful.
