Program Manager

Join Hadrian, a company focused on reindustrializing defense and aerospace through autonomous, scalable manufacturing. As a Program Manager, you will scope, execute, and own high-impact customer programs and factory stand-ups. You will work directly with the CEO and senior leaders, driving strategic problem-solving and business analysis, cross-functional execution and delivery, and executive communication and stakeholder leadership. Benefits include 100% coverage of platinum medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans, a 401k, a relocation stipend, and a flexible vacation policy.

• Définir de nouveaux programmes et leurs phases d'exécution initiales en collaboration avec le PDG et les dirigeants.
• Diriger des initiatives à fort impact qui accélèrent la croissance de Hadrian dans les secteurs de l'aérospatiale et de la défense.
• Assurer l'exécution des programmes en coordonnant les équipes d'ingénierie, d'exploitation, de chaîne d'approvisionnement et de logiciels.
• 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
• Communication: Strong written and verbal skills. You build executive-grade PowerPoint independently and present to senior internal and external stakeholders on your own
• A&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
• Education: Bachelor’s in Business, Economics, Operations, Engineering, or a related field. Master’s degree is a plus
• Eligibility: U.S. person status required. Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance is a plus
• Ownership & Ambiguity: You thrive in fast-paced, evolving environments — proactive, organized, and able to bring structure to complex problems without being told how
• Experience: 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
• Travel: Willingness to travel 20–40% domestically to customer and manufacturing sites
