• Lead debt capital markets strategy and execution, including near-term plans to raise large amounts of debt to fund capacity buildout and accelerate growth.
• Understand and deploy across the full capital stack, debt, equity, and hybrid structures, optimizing cost of capital, flexibility, and long-term control.
• Lead sourcing, structuring, and execution of M&A opportunities that support Hadrian's manufacturing footprint and capability expansion.
• Run financial modeling, valuation, and diligence for acquisition targets, working alongside the CEO and CFO from initial thesis through close.
• Build the corporate development function's process discipline — decision frameworks, deal templates, and a repeatable playbook for high-velocity execution.
• Build and run financial analysis and support negotiation for Hadrian's largest, most complex commercial partnerships with strategic partners.

Job requirements

• 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.
