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

Hadrian is seeking a Vice President of Partnerships & Capital Markets . The VP of Partnerships & Capital Markets will own end-to-end financial and deal structuring and execution across Hadrian's most strategic external capital market, commercial, and federal initiatives. This role sits at the center of the Company's next phase of scale, spanning three core lanes: (1) complex commercial partnerships and deal structures, (2) debt capital markets, and (3) M&A, in close partnership with the CFO and CEO.

What they're looking for

  • 10+ years across senior in-house capital markets, corporate development, investment banking, or structured finance roles within a high-growth, asset-intensive company
  • Direct experience leading both debt raises (hundreds of millions to multi-billion-dollar range) and M&A transactions, ideally in support of physical asset or infrastructure buildout at scale
  • Proven ability to architect and negotiate complex, multi-party commercial partnerships with government and commercial customers, ensuring contracts are bankable assets that support large-scale debt and equity financing
  • Background in sectors requiring innovative capital formation to scale quickly — data centers, energy, industrial automation, advanced manufacturing, infrastructure platforms, or capital-intensive fintech
  • Track record of building new financing and deal models rather than operating solely within established, legacy institutions
