About the job

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

Neros is seeking a Manager, Supply Chain Planning & Systems to lead the planning processes, team structure, and systems roadmap that support our next stage of production scale. This role will own demand and material planning accuracy, drive ERP/MRP and planning tool improvements, and create the operating cadence needed to support growing SKU count and high-volume production targets.

Responsibilities

Lead the Supply Chain Planning & Systems team, including material planning, demand planning, and supply chain systems

Own the demand/supply planning cadence and ensure forecast, material, inventory, and production assumptions are translated into executable plans

Drive S&OP/S&OE process ownership for Supply Chain, including cross-functional inputs, constraint reviews, planning actions, and follow-through

Improve forecast accuracy, planning discipline, and inventory health through metrics, root-cause analysis, and process improvements

Define and execute the planning systems/tools roadmap across ERP/MRP, planning workflows, reporting, and data quality

Reduce business risk from planning misses, including expedite fees, premium freight, shortages, and excess or obsolete material

You should have the following

7+ years of experience in supply chain planning, material planning, demand planning, S&OP, supply chain systems, or related operations roles

2+ years of people management or direct team leadership experience, preferably leading planners, analysts, project managers, or supply chain systems/process owners

Demonstrated ownership of demand planning, supply planning, material planning, or S&OP/NSOP cadence in a manufacturing environment

Strong ERP/MRP knowledge, including planning parameters, BOMs, lead times, purchase signals, inventory policy, master data quality, and planning exception management

Experience improving forecast accuracy, inventory health, production readiness, and cross-functional planning discipline through metrics and structured operating reviews

Ability to work cross-functionally with Production, Finance, Engineering, Procurement, and leadership to align plans and resolve constraints

Strong analytical skills with the ability to use planning data, inventory data, and operational metrics to identify root causes and drive process changes

Clear written and verbal communication skills; able to translate ambiguous business requirements into process, systems, and team priorities

Comfortable operating in a fast-scaling environment where process ownership, systems maturity, and production targets are evolving quickly

Nice to have

Experience scaling planning processes in aerospace, defense, robotics, hardware, electronics, or other complex manufacturing environments

Experience implementing or materially improving ERP/MRP, advanced planning tools, BI dashboards, or supply chain reporting infrastructure

Experience managing planning through rapid SKU growth, new product introduction, or high-volume production ramp

Familiarity with lean manufacturing, production control, inventory optimization, or cost-of-poor-planning metrics such as expedite fees, premium freight, shortages, and E&O
