Hadrian Automation People Programs Manager at Hadrian Automation to drive enterprise-wide people programs and build systems that support scaling teams in aerospace and defense manufacturing. Own end-to-end delivery of critical people initiatives.
Responsibilities
At Hadrian, we’re not just building autonomous factories — we’re building the teams, systems, and culture that will power the future of aerospace and defense manufacturing. As we scale, the People team plays a critical role in shaping how we attract, enable, and retain world-class talent across both engineering and advanced manufacturing.
Working on the People team at Hadrian means designing and operationalizing the foundation of a company that blends cutting-edge robotics, AI, and precision manufacturing — while supporting a workforce that spans software engineers, machinists, program managers, and everything in between.
We’re looking for builders: thoughtful, action-oriented team members who care deeply about people, process, and performance — and who want to help create a company culture that’s as strong as the infrastructure we’re deploying.
As a People Program Manager, you’ll drive enterprise-wide initiatives that shape how our People Team operates and delivers impact. In this highly cross-functional role, you'll own the end-to-end delivery of critical people programs - while building the systems, processes, and structures that keep our team aligned, accountable, and moving fast.
This is a high-visibility, high-impact role for someone who thrives at the intersection of strategy, operations, and people. If you’re a curious, humble, and analytically-minded individual with a bias toward action and impact, we’d love to hear from you.
