Hadrian is building autonomous factories to support the defense industrial base. As we scale delivery across programs in aerospace, national security, and advanced manufacturing, we’re looking for program managers to lead customer-facing execution and manage infrastructure delivery across new and existing factory footprints. This is a customer-facing execution role focused on driving outcomes across technical, complex, cross-functional programs. You’ll spend your time communicating with stakeholders, managing timelines, coordinating delivery, and maintaining accountability across both internal and external teams. The strongest candidates will bring experience in high-complexity, customer-facing environments, whether from management consulting, industrial programs, or defense delivery. They should have a track record of owning execution and leading from the front in ambiguous or high-stakes settings. We are seeking multiple candidates at varying levels of experience and seniority to support parallel programs and delivery surfaces. This role offers the opportunity to grow into program leadership across $100M+ delivery surfaces, spanning new factory sites, high-priority federal programs, and scaled technical infrastructure.

  • Own delivery across cross-functional programs from early-stage scoping through execution and milestone tracking
  • Drive coordination across internal teams (e.g. engineering, supply chain, software, operations) to unblock execution and maintain delivery momentum
  • Lead execution governance by establishing clear cadences for cross-functional coordination, executive reporting, and delivery accountability
  • Maintain external-facing timelines, program dashboards, and milestone definitions in partnership with program leadership
  • Support internal and external communication including risk tracking, status updates, executive reporting, and program reviews
  • Oversee and manage program budgets, including spend visibility, burn rate, and alignment with delivery milestones
  • Partner with project managers to ensure tactical deliverables roll up into clear milestones and customer expectations
  • Monitor program scope and deliverables to track changes and clarify owner responsibilities
  • Operate as a program lead and primary point of contact for both internal and external stakeholders
  • 5+ years in a program, operations, or project execution role within aerospace, defense, manufacturing, or adjacent high-complexity fields
  • Candidates with a background in management consulting or equivalent experience leading complex, multi-stakeholder programs in high-precision operational environments are strongly preferred
  • Experience with factory or physical infrastructure delivery, including CapEx programs or scaled manufacturing environments
  • Experience leading delivery within technical, ambiguous, or startup-like environments
  • Familiarity with common program tooling, including Microsoft Project, Airtable, Gantt charts, and risk tracking frameworks
  • Ability to independently manage large bodies of work while surfacing blockers and driving cross-team resolution
  • Proven ability to create clear, persuasive program deliverables including slides, briefs, and progress updates for both internal and external audiences
  • Willingness to travel up to 40% to factory sites, customer locations, and suppliers as needed
  • 100% coverage of medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees
  • 401k
  • Relocation stipend if you’re moving from outside of LA
  • Flexible vacation policy
