The posting

HADRIAN - MANUFACTURING THE FUTURE

Hadrian is building autonomous factories to reindustrialize America. By combining AI, advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we help aerospace and defense companies build rockets, satellites, aircraft, ships, and other mission-critical systems up to 10x faster and at significantly lower cost.

Following our $1.37B Series D at a $7.87B valuation, Hadrian is rapidly expanding our manufacturing footprint, launching new capabilities across welding, casting, forging, electronics, additive manufacturing, and more, while scaling our Factory-as-a-Service platform to transform how critical products are built.

Backed by leading investors including JPMorgan Chase, Valor Equity Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, 137 Ventures, Lux Capital, T. Rowe Price, and Morgan Stanley, we’re building the future of American manufacturing—and looking for exceptional people to help make it happen.

If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.

The Role

As the Director, 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.

What You’ll Do

- Build and lead Hadrian’s compliance program and team, setting the strategy, priorities, and metrics for export, government contracts, and ethics compliance

- Own ITAR and EAR compliance, including jurisdiction and classification (J/C) decisions, export licenses and agreements, technology control plans, and foreign person access

- Make sure Hadrian meets FAR/DFARS requirements and flow-downs, and partner with Legal and Contracts on audits (DCAA/DCMA) and mandatory disclosure

- Lead cybersecurity compliance with IT and Security, including NIST 800-171 and CMMC

- Own the code of conduct, ethics hotline, and internal investigations, plus anti-corruption, conflict of interest, and procurement integrity programs

- Work alongside program and engineering teams to build controls into new programs, capabilities, and factory launches from the start

- Design classification and review processes that are fast and consistent, using automation and AI where it makes sense

- Build and deliver company-wide training on export controls, government contracts, and ethics

- Run compliance risk assessments and internal audits, lead corrective actions, and report on program health to leadership

- Be Hadrian’s main point of contact with government agencies, customers, and primes on compliance matters

- Keep up with regulatory changes and turn them into clear guidance the business can act on

What We’re Looking For

- 12+ years of compliance experience in aerospace, defense, or another highly regulated industry

- 5+ years leading compliance teams or programs

- Deep hands-on knowledge of ITAR and EAR, including classification, licensing, and technology control plans

- Working knowledge of FAR/DFARS, government audits, and NIST 800-171/CMMC

- Experience building or running an ethics and business conduct program

- Ability to understand engineering and manufacturing well enough to write controls that work on the factory floor

- Strong judgment that balances compliance risk with business priorities

- Must be a U.S. person, and able to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance

What Will Set You Apart

- Experience building a compliance program from the ground up at a fast-growing defense or hardware company

- Experience in manufacturing environments with export-controlled technical data and hardware

- Experience with voluntary disclosures, DDTC or BIS matters, or government investigations

- Background working on co-production or international defense programs

- An active security clearance

- A JD, or certifications such as CUSECO, ECoP, or CCEP

- A knack for finding compliant ways through regulatory roadblocks instead of just saying no

BENEFITS FOR FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES

- 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

ITAR REQUIREMENTS

USE OF AI IN HIRING

Hadrian uses AI-assisted tools in our recruiting and hiring processes to help our team work more efficiently. This may include tools that help organize and analyze recruiting data, as well as an AI-powered notetaker that can record and transcribe interviews and help coordinate feedback. These tools support our team and are not used to make hiring decisions. All candidate evaluations and hiring decisions are performed by humans. If an interview will be recorded, you will be notified in advance and may opt out at any time with no impact on your candidacy. Candidate data processed through these tools is subject to the same protections described in our Privacy Policy https://www.hadrian.co/privacy-policy.

CONSIDERATION OF CRIMINAL HISTORY

Hadrian will consider for employment qualified applicants with criminal histories in a manner consistent with the requirements of all applicable laws. We do not ask about criminal history on our application, and we do not consider criminal history before making a conditional offer of employment.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
