## 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.

- Working knowledge of FAR/DFARS, government audits, and NIST 800-171/CMMC
- Experience building or running an ethics and business conduct program
