Hadrian - Manufacturing the Future

Hadrian is building autonomous factories that help aerospace and defense companies manufacture rockets, satellites, jets, and ships up to 10x faster and up to 2x cheaper. By combining advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we are reinventing how America produces its most critical parts.

We’re accelerating our mission with the launch of Factory 3 in Mesa, Arizona, a 290,000-square-foot facility creating 350 new jobs. We are expanding rapidly to support thousands of future hires, launching Hadrian Maritime to expand into naval production, and introducing a Factory-as-a-Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts.

Hadrian is backed by leading investors including T. Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast-growing team is united around reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond.

The Role

At Hadrian, the workplace is a critical enabler of speed, focus, and execution. As the company grows rapidly across multiple locations, we need an experienced leader who can design, build, and scale the workplace services function that supports our teams. This role focuses on the environments where our people work every day, including offices, shared spaces, physical security, and non machine related workplace infrastructure at manufacturing sites.

We are hiring a Workplace Services Leader to establish and lead the workplace services function at Hadrian. This role is responsible for setting strategy, building and managing the team, and overseeing the programs and vendors that keep our workplaces running smoothly. While this role will roll up sleeves initially due to the size of the team and pace of growth, the primary expectation is to build the team quickly and transition execution to coordinators, specialists, and facilities staff as soon as possible.

This is a leadership role for someone who can operate at the systems level, move fast, and create structure while the company is scaling aggressively.

What You’ll Do

Build and Scale the Workplace Services Function

Establish the workplace services vision, strategy, and operating model across all locations.
Design and rapidly build the workplace services org, including office operations, facilities coordination, physical security, and site support roles.
Hire, onboard, and develop a high performing team capable of executing day to day operations at scale.
Set clear ownership, service levels, and accountability so execution is distributed and consistent.

Oversee Workplace Infrastructure and Environment

Oversee office and workplace buildouts, expansions, and reconfigurations across locations.
Provide direction and oversight for initiatives such as soundproofing conference rooms, configuring desk layouts, selecting furniture, and ensuring functional workspaces.
Oversee coordination with electrical, networking, and facilities vendors to ensure all workspaces are powered, connected, and operational.
Oversee workplace infrastructure at manufacturing sites that supports employees, including offices, meeting rooms, break areas, and common spaces.

Physical Security Oversight

Oversee the workplace physical security program across all locations.
Provide leadership and direction for access control systems, badge programs, visitor management, and camera vendors.
Partner closely with IT, Security, and EHS on access requirements, incident response coordination, and site readiness.
Ensure physical security programs scale appropriately as new locations open and headcount grows.

Lead While Executing Temporarily

Step in as needed to support execution while the team is being built, without becoming the long term executor.
Focus personal effort on unblocking progress, setting direction, and enabling others to execute effectively.
Transition hands on work to team members quickly as roles are hired and onboarded.

Vendor, Budget, and Program Ownership

Own vendor strategy, selection, contracts, and performance management for workplace services and physical security.
Own the workplace services budget and forecasting as the company expands.
Balance speed, quality, and cost in a fast growing environment.

Cross Functional Leadership

Partner closely with People Operations, IT, Finance, EHS, and other operational teams to ensure workplaces are aligned with company needs.
Collaborate with EHS on workspace design and site changes to ensure safety considerations are incorporated.
Ensure workplaces, access, and services are ready to support rapid onboarding and growth.
Partner with leadership on site strategy and future location planning.

Standards and Readiness

Establish and maintain workplace and security policies, documentation, and operating standards.
Ensure high levels of reliability, cleanliness, accessibility, and security across all sites.
Support audits or inspections related to facilities and security in partnership with relevant teams.

What We’re Looking For

Significant proven experience in workplace services, facilities management, office operations, physical security, or related functions with increasing leadership scope.
Proven experience building and scaling teams in a high growth environment.
Strong track record of overseeing multi site workplace programs rather than personally executing long term.
Ability to move quickly from zero to structure while prioritizing what matters most.
Experience managing vendors, contractors, and external partners at scale.
Excellent judgment, communication, and stakeholder leadership skills.

What Will Set You Apart

Experience supporting rapid headcount growth and opening new locations.
Background in environments that blend office and manufacturing settings.
Strong organizational design instincts and hiring judgment.
Ability to create leverage by building teams and systems quickly.
A pragmatic, ownership driven mindset with a bias toward speed and clarity.
Passion for building environments that help teams operate at their best.

Compensation

For this role, the target salary range is $155,000 - $205,000 (actual range may vary based on experience and performance).

This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range may be modified in the future. An employee's pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors, including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.
