Hadrian is building autonomous factories to reindustrialize America, combining AI, advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing to help aerospace and defense companies build rockets, satellites, aircraft, ships, and other mission-critical systems up to 10x faster and at significantly lower cost. The company recently closed a $1.37B Series D at a $7.87B valuation and is rapidly expanding its manufacturing footprint and Factory-as-a-Service platform.
You will be Hadrian's first Manager of Sales & Operations Planning, establishing the S&OP function from the ground up and building the team behind it. This is a builder-and-operator role: in year one, you'll define the process, select and implement tooling, and hire the team to run it at scale.
Key Responsibilities:
Build & Lead S&OP: Design and implement a scalable S&OP process across all platforms and sites. Establish enterprise-wide governance, cadence, standard work, and decision-making forums. Partner with executive leadership to align demand, supply, sales, capacity, and financial plans. Lead monthly S&OP reviews with clear accountability for actions and outcomes. Build analytics, dashboards, and reporting tools to drive fact-based decision-making. Establish key metrics including schedule adherence, capacity utilization, sellable capacity, network load balance, and supply risk. Serve as a key integration point between commercial priorities, operational capability, and capacity.
Network Planning & Site Allocation: Own the site allocation strategy, determining which site manufactures each part while balancing capacity, capability, lead time, and customer requirements. Build and maintain a network-level view of load and capacity across all sites, dynamically balancing demand against available capacity. Model network capacity scenarios to evaluate the impact of demand shifts, new program introductions, and site ramp-ups. Partner with Operations, Quality, and Engineering to understand each site's capability and qualification envelope. Lead load-balancing and reallocation decisions when sites become constrained, escalating trade-offs to leadership with clear options.
Capacity & Constraint Management: Define and publish sellable capacity across the network, quantifying open capacity by site over the planning horizon. Partner with Operations leaders to build and maintain capacity models by site and work center. Translate demand and pipeline scenarios into capacity implications, providing Sales with fast, data-backed answers on what can be committed, when, and at which site.
People Leadership: Lead, coach, and develop direct reports responsible for capacity planning, modeling, and S&OP execution. Build organizational capability through talent development, standard work, training, and performance management. Foster a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and collaboration.
Requirements:
- Proven experience leading S&OP, demand planning, supply planning, operations planning, or integrated business planning processes
- Deep understanding of demand planning, capacity planning, inventory management, master scheduling, supply chain execution, and operational performance
- Experience leading teams and developing planning talent
- Strong communication, facilitation, and change management skills
- Ability to operate strategically while driving tactical execution and issue resolution
- Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Operations Management, Business, Engineering, Finance, or related discipline preferred
- 5+ years of progressive experience in a similar role in planning, capacity, operations, or sales
- U.S. citizen or national, lawful permanent resident, or eligible to obtain required ITAR authorizations from the U.S. Department of State
