US Army Business Development Lead

Who we are

Neros is a defense technology company 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.

What you will be doing

Build and manage relationships with Army units to accelerate drone adoption on the modern battlefield. You'll own the full sales cycle from initial contact through contract execution and thus coordinate complex field demonstrations, navigate DoD procurement processes, and work cross-functionally with engineering, operations, and finance to deliver capability at speed.

• 5+ years in defense business development, program management, or military operations

• Active TS/SCI clearance or ability to obtain one

• Direct experience working with Army units, programs, or operations

• Strong technical fluency with unmanned systems or defense hardware

• Willingness to travel as needed to military bases and field locations

• Exceptional communication skills with military and civilian stakeholders

• Proven track record closing DoD contracts ($500K+)

• Experience with DoD procurement vehicles

• Experience with SOCOM

• Relationships within Army acquisition or requirements community
