Director of Corporate Business Systems

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.

The Director of Corporate Business Systems is responsible for defining, building, and scaling the company’s core operational technology stack—including ERP, MES/MRP, PLM, WMS, QMS, CRM, and enterprise data platforms. This leader owns the strategy, architecture, implementation, and ongoing optimization of the systems that power engineering, production, supply chain, quality, and finance.

As the company scales production and expands its product lines, this role ensures our enterprise ecosystem is reliable, secure, well‑integrated, and capable of supporting rapid growth, accurate reporting, and operational excellence.
