## About the role

Hadrian's People team builds the systems that let us hire, grow, and keep the people reindustrializing America. As we open new factories and launch new capabilities, how we pay people becomes one of the biggest levers we have to attract and retain talent, and our workforce doesn't fit a standard compensation playbook. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 6+ years of compensation experience with real ownership of program design and comp cycles, not just an analytical role
- Command of compensation fundamentals, including job matching, market pricing, leveling and job architecture, and cyclical programs
- Experience building comp programs for both hourly and salaried populations, including pay practices like shift differentials, overtime, and multi-state pay compliance
- A track record of building benchmarking approaches and peer groups that hold up under scrutiny, and the judgment to know when the standard playbook doesn't fit
- Deep Excel or Google Sheets fluency (modeling, lookups, INDEX/MATCH, etc.) and the ability to turn messy data into insights the business can actually use
- Fluency in sales compensation, including OTE design, bonus structuring, and the tradeoffs that come with them
