About Subsense
The Opportunity
The Head of Partnerships will lead the development of high-value, non-medical strategic partnerships with leading technology companies. This role is responsible for creating and securing transformative collaborations that validate our platform and unlock long-term distribution, infrastructure, and data advantages.
We are pre-product. You will be expected to secure LOIs, pilots, and partnerships before a finished product exists.
This role requires selling vision, not product.
What You'll Do
- Define partnership strategy (build vs. buy vs. partner) and prioritize highest-leverage opportunities
- Identify, engage, and close strategic partnerships with top-tier technology companies (e.g., hyperscalers, AI labs, platform providers)
- Build and manage senior relationships across product, research, and corporate development teams
- Originate and structure LOIs, pilot agreements, and joint development partnerships pre-product
- Translate early-stage science into compelling commercial narratives tailored to technical and executive audiences
- Drive measurable partnership outcomes, including access to data, infrastructure, and distribution channels
- Own partnership KPIs (e.g., number of LOIs, pilots, and strategic integrations secured)
What You Bring
- 8–15+ years in strategic partnerships / platform partnerships / corporate development
- Proven ability to structure and secure partnerships that deliver tangible outcomes, including access to data, infrastructure, and distribution channels
- Proven track record of closing 0→1 partnerships with major tech companies
- Experience selling pre-product, platform, or deep tech concepts
- Strong executive presence; able to engage VP/C-suite stakeholders
- Background in AI, infrastructure, developer platforms, or frontier tech strongly preferred
- Highly autonomous, structured, and outcomes-driven
Why You’ll Thrive
You'd be joining a small team developing a non-surgical, bidirectional brain-computer interface powered by plasmonic and magnetoelectric nanoparticles. You’ll help translate early research into working technology, with the opportunity to influence both the platform and how we build it.
A few things that make this different:
- Own meaningful technical work: Take projects from early R&D through functional prototypes, with room to test ideas, solve complex problems, and shape design decisions.
- Build across disciplines: Work hands-on with ultrasound, electronics, and instrumentation alongside scientists and engineers in neuroscience, nanotechnology, and AI.
- Help shape a novel platform: Contribute to technology with the potential to restore neurological function and, over time, enable direct brain-to-AI communication.
- Make a visible impact: Join a team where your contributions directly influence technical progress, with equity that lets you share in the company’s growth.
