Growth Strategy
About The Position
Neros is a defense technology company focused on rebuilding America's drone industrial base. We design and manufacture high-performance unmanned systems that are tested in combat, iterated at startup speed, and built at massive scale. Our team culture is fast, hands-on, and obsessed with closing the gap between design and deployment. As drones transform the character of warfare, Neros is delivering the systems the West needs to compete on the modern battlefield and deter the adversaries of democracy. We’re hiring engineers, operators, and builders who want to move fast, take on extreme ownership, and get capability into the hands of warfighters in months, not years. We're looking for a Director of Growth Strategy to help determine where the company grows next. This person will sit at the intersection of strategy, market intelligence, business development, and executive leadership—translating defense priorities, customer demand, and competitive dynamics into actionable growth plans.
