About the role
- Hadrian is building the most advanced manufacturing platform in the world, and Workforce Development is the team responsible for ensuring our people can keep pace with it.
- We are looking for a Training Operations Manager to lead that execution.
- This is a role for someone who understands what great operational leadership looks like, can build and maintain a training program that runs consistently across multiple factory locations, and is energized by the challenge of making a bold workforce development strategy real on the floor every day.
Responsibilities
- Build and Maintain the Training Curriculum and Schedule: Lead the team in developing and owning a comprehensive training schedule covering all stations, new hire ramp, and recertification cycles.
- Drive Production Readiness: Partner closely with factory Operations teams to ensure the workforce is trained, certified, and production-ready in alignment with ramp schedules and headcount growth.
- Maintain the Feedback Loop: Proactively surface gaps in training content, documentation accuracy, and evaluation standards back to Workforce Systems before they become production problems.
- Plan Ahead: Partner with the Director to forecast Training Specialist headcount needs based on factory growth, ensuring the training team is never behind production demand.
- Support Audit Readiness: Ensure training records, certification data, and program execution meet AS9100 standards and are consistently ready for internal and external audits.
- Hadrian is building autonomous factories that help aerospace and defense companies manufacture rockets, satellites, jets, and ships up to 10x faster and up to 2x cheaper.
- Workforce Development owns the capability infrastructure that ensures our workforce is trained, certified, and production-ready at every level, from capturing manufacturing knowledge and structuring it into scalable programs, to deploying those programs consistently across a growing network of factories.
- Lead the team in developing and owning a comprehensive training schedule covering all stations, new hire ramp, and recertification cycles.
- Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need.
- Experience building or significantly growing a training program rather than just maintaining one
Requirements
- You can take a strategy and break it down into clear processes, schedules, and ownership that a team can actually run.
- You can represent training needs to factory leadership and translate operational realities back to Workforce Development.
- You are energized by that, not unsettled by it.
- Multi-site people management experience in a high-volume, coordination-heavy environment
- Familiarity with certification frameworks, skills matrices, or structured competency systems
- Comfort working in an environment where the playbook is still being written
Benefits
- Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees
- Flexible vacation policy
- You do not wait to be told what to do and you do not leave things half finished.
- Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast-growing team is united around reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond.
