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 recently raised $260 million dollar Series C to accelerate this mission. We are excited to be launching a new Factory in Mesa, Arizona, a 270,000 square foot facility that will create 350 new jobs immediately. We are opening a new headquarters to support thousands of future hires, launching Hadrian Maritime to serve naval production, and introducing a Factory-as-a-Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts.

Hadrian works with startups, Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, and major defense contractors across space, shipbuilding, and aviation to scale production, reduce costs, and accelerate delivery on mission-critical programs. We are backed by leading investors including Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz. Our fast-growing team is united by a shared mission to reindustrialize American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond!

The Role

As a Recruiter, Business, you’ll play a critical role in scaling the teams that drive and support Hadrian’s growth. You’ll own hiring across Go-To-Market and General & Administrative functions, including Sales, Marketing, Customer-facing roles, Finance, Legal, People, and Operations.

This is not a traditional recruiting role. You’ll work in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where strong judgment, prioritization, and partnership with senior leaders are essential. You’ll help build the business-critical teams that enable revenue, operations, and company-wide scale.

You’ll join a growing Talent team that is highly collaborative, mission-driven, and focused on hiring with urgency and intention. We partner closely with leadership to shape hiring strategy, candidate experience, and how Hadrian shows up in competitive talent markets.

What You’ll Do

  • Own full-cycle recruiting for business roles across GTM and G&A functions and seniority levels

  • Partner with hiring managers and leaders to define role requirements, success profiles, and hiring strategy

  • Build and execute sourcing strategies to attract high-quality, diverse business talent

  • Deliver an exceptional candidate experience aligned with Hadrian’s values and culture

  • Run efficient, high-signal interview processes that balance speed, quality, and stakeholder alignment

  • Use data and insights to track performance, identify bottlenecks, and continuously improve hiring outcomes

  • Contribute to Talent initiatives including employer branding, workforce planning, and recruiting process improvements

  • Act as a trusted advisor to business leaders, providing market insight and hiring recommendations

Who You Are

  • 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience hiring for GTM and/or G&A roles

  • Comfortable recruiting across a wide range of business functions and seniority levels

  • Strong communicator who builds trust with candidates and senior stakeholders

  • Highly organized, data-informed, and proactive in managing competing priorities

  • Thrive in fast-moving, high-growth environments

  • Care deeply about candidate experience and thoughtful team building

  • Bonus: Experience recruiting in technical, manufacturing, or hardware-software environments

  • Bonus: Startup or high-growth company experience

Compensation

For this role, the target salary range is $100,000 - $175,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).

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.

Benefits

  • 100% coverage of medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees

  • 401k

  • Relocation stipend if you’re moving from outside of LA

  • Flexible vacation policy
