Hadrian Automation Director of Compliance leads Hadrian’s compliance program across export controls, government contracts, and ethics. Builds policies, controls, training, and ensures regulatory compliance across the company.

Responsibilities

As the Director of Compliance, you’ll build and lead Hadrian’s compliance program across three areas: export controls, government contracts, and ethics and business conduct. You’ll work alongside engineering, programs, supply chain, and leadership so compliance is built into how we design, buy, build, and sell from day one. You’ll set the policies, controls, and training that keep us compliant. You’ll also be the person who finds a compliant way forward when a rule seems to block the work.
