What are the responsibilities and job description for the Finance Manager position at Neros Technologies?
Who we are
Neros is transforming a defense industry mired in costly, behemoth machinery-to circumvent a looming vulnerability gap, to give dismounted soldiers a fighting chance against tanks, and ultimately, to get as many humans off the battlefield as possible.
While consumer technology is evolving by bounds on the smaller-cheaper-better path, U.S. defense technology wallows in the large, centralized, and wildly expensive paradigm. Our air, land, and sea machinery budget is staggering; yet these large assets can still be vulnerable to very small weapons. When swarm technology comes into its own, the asymmetry will escalate. Nowhere is the pattern more glaring than in small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS)-drones.
Who you are
As a Finance Manager, you will be the founding member of Neros' Finance team. The Finance Manager provides analytical support for leadership of key functional areas within Neros. This position involves creating, from scratch, the building blocks of all finance structures necessary across all Neros departments to keep up with our explosive growth. This is a dynamic and exciting role at a rapidly growing startup and will report directly to the Chief Operating Officer.
