Manager, Onboarding and New Hire Experience

At Hadrian, we are building the teams and systems that power the future of aerospace and defense manufacturing. As we scale rapidly across engineering, manufacturing, and business functions, an exceptional onboarding journey is essential to our success. The onboarding experience is the first signal of how we work, how we care for our people, and how fast we expect them to ramp. We need a strategic builder who can design and lead an onboarding ecosystem that sets every new hire up for long term success. We are hiring a Manager, Onboarding and New Hire Experience to lead the strategy, design, and delivery of a high quality onboarding journey that extends far beyond Day 1. This role will own the full onboarding lifecycle, from pre boarding through the first 90 days, and will create specialized tracks that immerse new employees into their functional homes. This includes partnering with leaders in Engineering, Manufacturing, Sales, Business Operations, and People to ensure that every new hire receives the tools, context, and support they need to ramp quickly and confidently. This is a high impact role for a strong program owner who is energized by building from zero to one, collaborating across the company, and improving how we welcome and empower talent at scale. While this role is a team of one to start, it requires someone who can think at the systems level, operate with independence, and deliver both strategy and execution in a fast paced, high growth environment.
