Video & Photo Lead

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 America and its allies needs to compete on the modern battlefield and deter future conflicts, or else win them. We’re building a lean Marketing organization of creatives and operators who want to move fast, take extreme ownership, build a brand from the ground up, and tell the Neros story.

What you will be doing

As Video & Photo Lead 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 marketing, engineering, business development, and leadership to fulfill video and photo briefs, and travel with those teams to capture assets at product demonstrations, field tests, and company events. After capturing assets in the field, you’ll manage the full post-production workflow, turning raw footage and stills into compelling visuals for all channels. This is a one-person operation for the foreseeable future, requiring both creative range and operational discipline to execute the entire pipeline independently.

You should have the following

• 5+ years experience in videography and photography
• Strong composition 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 editing software: DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Lightroom
• Experience building pre-production materials like creative concept decks and storyboards
• Understanding of social media marketing strategy and format requirements
• 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 (we have a mileage expense policy)
• Valid passport and openness to domestic and international travel
• Comfortable with physical demands of the role, including lifting up to 50 lb regularly

Nice to have

• Degree in film production, photography or a related creative field
