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
Hadrian is hiring a Head of Strategic Communications to own what the company says publicly and who says it. This is the earned-media and executive-communications engine for the company: press relationships, announcement strategy, message discipline, and the voice the CEO and other leaders bring to every public moment. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 15+ years of communications experience in tech, defense, aerospace, or a related field, with real fluency in how each of those worlds talks to the press, to government, and to itself
- Demonstrated experience managing a team, including external consultants and agencies — you've hired and developed direct reports, and you've also run agency and freelance relationships with a clear brief, budget, and accountability for results
- A relentless focus on mission — you understand why reindustrializing the United States matters and can translate that conviction into a story that lands with reporters, policymakers, and the public
- Executive presence and judgment — comfortable advising a CEO in high-stakes moments, with the instinct to know when something is genuinely sensitive versus when it isn't
- Sharp writing and editing instincts, and the ability to hold a company's voice steady across dozens of moving pieces
- Proactive and collaborative — you propose into the external affairs and internal communications calendars rather than waiting to be handed work, and you build real partnerships with peers who own adjacent pieces of the story
