Government Affair Manager 

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 Government Affairs Manager will be responsible for supporting Neros’s ongoing Congressional and Executive engagement strategy. This position will lead expanding relationships with key Members of Congress, the National Security Council, and the Pentagon civilian leadership. This position will also play an active role in growing Neros' political operations.
