HR Business Partner

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

We’re looking for a highly capable HR Business Partner, a builder in their soul, a people person at their heart, collaborative by nature, and execution-focused in everything they do, to partner closely with managers and leaders across the organization, particularly within Production and manufacturing teams, to help scale our people practices thoughtfully and effectively.

You will work directly with leaders to drive performance, elevate teams, navigate employee relations matters, support organizational changes, and help build scalable People programs and processes that enable Neros to grow responsibly and quickly.

You’ll also be part of a People team that operates as one team, with one mission: to be the best People team possible, working together to drive excellence across the organization.
