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
As a Media Specialist at Neros, you will be the creative talent behind the company's visual identity, working closely with the Director of Marketing to bring the brand to life across every format and channel. This role spans pre-production planning, on-location shooting, and post-production editing. Reporting to the Director of Marketing, you will collaborate with engineering, leadership, and business development to fulfill video and photo requests, and travel with those teams to capture assets at product demonstrations, field tests, and company events.
After capturing assets in the field, you will manage the full post-production workflow, turning raw footage into compelling visuals for marketing, sales, and social channels. This is a one-person operation for the foreseeable future, requiring both creative range and operational discipline to execute the entire pipeline independently. This is a full-time, in-person position with no exceptions, and an exciting opportunity to help shape the face of the company during a period of rapid growth.
You should have the following
- Strong photography fundamentals, including experience with various focal lengths, ND filters, and lighting setups
- Proficiency with professional cinema cameras (RED, Sony, Panasonic, Canon, ARRI)
- Working knowledge of professional audio recording equipment and practices
- Expertise in creative software: DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Lightroom
- Experience building pre-production materials such as creative decks and storyboards
- Understanding of social media marketing strategy focused on brand building, not vanity metrics
- Ability to work independently and manage the full production pipeline with minimal oversight
- Willingness to travel and work flexible hours as needed
- Valid driver's license and reliable vehicle for equipment transportation
- Valid passport and openness to domestic and international travel
- Comfortable with physical demands of the role, including lifting up to 50lbs regularly
Nice to have
- Degree in film production, photography or a related creative field
- 5+ years of experience at a production house, media agency or as a freelance director
- Personal equipment they are willing to use to hit the ground running (company equipment will be provided and built out as the media team grows)
- Familiarity with VFX software such as Blender and Unreal Engine
