## About the role

The People Operations team builds the infrastructure that lets Hadrian scale. We are hiring a Program Manager, Headcount Planning to own how Hadrian decides who we hire, when, and why. Headcount is the single biggest input into our growth, and getting it right means running a real program: a planning cycle the business trusts, a clear line from program demand to approved roles, and one number that Finance, Recruiting, and the business all agree on.

## What they're looking for

- 7+ years of experience spanning management consulting or a similar structured problem-solving environment, plus time in-house where you owned a program and lived with the results
- Exceptional stakeholder management. You build credibility fast with senior leaders, you can hold a line without damaging the relationship, and you understand the nuance of influencing people who do not report to you and will still be in the room next quarter
- Strong project management fundamentals. You work from a plan, you drive to dates, you manage dependencies across functions, and nothing quietly falls through the cracks
- Real change management experience. You have rolled out a process that changed how people work, and you have handled the resistance, the adoption gap, and the comms that go with it
- Comfort with planning data and financial mechanics. You can build and pressure-test a workforce model, reconcile it against a budget, and explain the delta in plain language
- Executive-grade communication. You can write the one-pager that gets a decision made and run the meeting where it happens
