About Hadrian

Hadrian is rebuilding America’s industrial strength, rapidly scaling our country’s manufacturing output through advanced software, automation, and human skill. Backed by a16z, Founders Fund and Lux.

About 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. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they'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
