Manager, IT Site Lead

Hadrian Automation • Cherokee, AL

1d • Onsite

About The Position

Hadrian is building a new precision manufacturing facility in Cherokee, Alabama. We're looking for an IT Site Lead to own day-to-day IT operations at F4 and serve as the face of IT for the entire site. This is a hands-on role with real ownership: you'll manage endpoints, support facility employees and production staff, maintain local infrastructure, serve as the point person for day-2 vendors, and help visiting employees from other sites resolve issues while they're on-site. You'll report to the Director of IT and work closely with a central team covering infrastructure, cybersecurity, network, and systems functions across all Hadrian sites.

Requirements

• High degree of independence and accountability - this role works without a local IT manager to lean on, and needs to be self-reliant, self-driven, and proactive rather than reactive
• High degree of ownership - drives issues to resolution without waiting to be asked
• Strong networking fundamentals: LAN/WAN, VLANs, firewall administration, Wi-Fi
• Endpoint management experience with Intune, Mosyle, or FleetDM
• Familiarity with Okta for identity and access management
• Experience owning employee IT onboarding end to end
• Comfortable operating as a remote extension of a distributed team

Nice To Haves

• Manufacturing or industrial environment experience strongly preferred
• CMMC, ITAR, and CUI handling experience a plus

Responsibilities

• Own all on-site IT support for facility employees and production staff
• Manage device lifecycle using Hadrian's asset management and MDM tools
• Manage your ticket queue in Jira Service Management and drive issues to resolution
• Maintain local network and infrastructure health; escalate to central infrastructure teams as needed
• Serve as the on-call escalation point for F4 on-site support needs; local team headcount is expected to grow as the facility scales
• Support the IT buildout of the F4 facility in partnership with the Factory Deployment IT Lead and central IT teams
• Coordinate with facilities and construction on-site during construction to confirm electrical and low-voltage vendors are placing infrastructure correctly, and provide regular status updates
• Receive, stage, and deploy endpoint hardware, peripherals, and AV/conferencing equipment
• Own IT onboarding and offboarding for all employees at the site: hardware setup/retrieval, account provisioning/deprovisioning, access grants, and Day 1 readiness
• Serve as the on-site point of contact for IT questions and walkthroughs for new hires
• Hire, train, and lead a local IT team as the facility scales
• Enforce Hadrian's security tooling and policies on-site: EDR, MDM, and IAM
• Support CMMC Level 2 compliance requirements for CUI handling at the facility
• Coordinate with central IT and InfoSec on incidents, vulnerability remediation, and compliance reviews
• Manage local vendor relationships, hardware maintenance contracts, and ISP coordination
• Maintain accurate asset inventory for all on-site IT equipment
• Manage shipping and receiving of IT and infrastructure materials (switches, WAPs, and similar equipment)

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees
• 401k
• Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need.
• Flexible vacation policy
• Equity
