Global Product Manager
About the role
The Role Global Product drives manufacturing capability and platform development across Hadrian. We work externally with customers and internally with leads across Hadrian's programs, platforms, and capabilities to build our cross-company roadmap. In this role you will both set strategy and personally drive execution to ensure we deliver outcomes. This is a senior, technical role with high autonomy and accountability, reporting directly to the VP of Product and Engineering.
Responsibilities
- Spend time on the front lines of our programs to understand what it takes to make them successful.
- Be fluent in our full capability set so you can support program scoping and spot the gaps we'll need to bridge — then, as we contract the program, carry those requirements back so they flow to the platform and capability teams and get reflected in the roadmap.
- Own and evolve the product roadmap for the company. Decide which manufacturing and platform capabilities Hadrian builds next, in what order. Program and customer needs are one input; so is proactive development to get ahead of where the company is going. These are the calls that define what Hadrian can make and for whom.
- Drive delivery across the business. Make the prioritization and resourcing calls when demands compete — the trade-offs and sequencing decisions that determine what gets done and what waits. Keep every team moving toward the same result. Individual teams own execution in their domain; you own that the business delivers as a whole.
- Turn process into products. This team doesn't just set strategy and ship process — it builds products to do the work. For example, Nexus, Hadrian's internal tool for planning and execution tracking.
- Take new products from zero to one. With visibility across the whole business, Global Product is often first to see where a net-new product or capability needs to exist — and takes it from zero to one:, building the case, shaping what it should be, and driving it into existence.
- Spot what's coming before it's escalated. Stay plugged in across teams broadly enough to spot emerging risks and opportunities before they're formally escalated — a resourcing gap forming in one area, a capability need surfacing before a program is even scoped. With visibility across the whole business, Global Product is often the first to see it coming.
Requirements
Technical depth in a core domain. Real technical expertise in at least one of Hadrian's core domains — advanced manufacturing, hardware, or technology — with the range and curiosity to build genuine fluency in the others.
Systems-level thinking. You see across competing opportunities and constraints and understand how a decision in one area creates downstream consequences in others.
Influence and organizational navigation. You build trust and credibility across teams you don't formally manage, and know when to push and when to defer. You can operate as a close peer to program, capability, and platform leads — coordinating on scope and priorities while respecting clear lane boundaries, rather than competing for the same territory.
Product taste and judgment. You have a strong instinct for what's worth building — and what isn't. You can weigh customer demand, factory-floor reality, and where the company is headed, and make the call on where to point our effort.
Bias toward driving outcomes. You set strategy and own that it lands — building the plan, running the complex cross-functional effort, and keeping commitments from slipping. You make the hard prioritization calls when demands compete and you're comfortable saying no to protect what matters most.
Comfort working directly with customers. You can sit with enterprise customers on their hardest programs, scope what it will take, and translate what you hear into what our teams need to build.
Demonstrated leadership across complex systems. A track record of leading delivery across complex hardware and software systems.
Deep mission alignment. You care about the mission and are highly motivated to rebuild America’s industrial base.
