About Subsense

Subsense is a deep-tech company developing the world’s first non-surgical, bidirectional brain-computer interface powered by plasmonic and magnetoelectric nanoparticles. Our mission is to unlock direct communication between the human brain and AI - starting with medical applications such as stroke recovery and moving toward cognitive enhancement for healthy users. Headquartered in Palo Alto, Subsense brings together leading scientists and engineers to redefine the future of human–machine interaction.

The Opportunity

The Head of Commercial will define and execute the company’s overall commercialization strategy across both medical and non-medical markets. This role integrates partnerships, revenue generation, and market development to establish early validation and long-term positioning.

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.

Must be able to independently originate, negotiate, and close deals - not just build relationships or strategy.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and execute a holistic commercial strategy across:
Non-medical (tech partnerships, platforms)
Medical (biopharma, clinics, research institutions)
Own sequencing of markets, segments, and use cases (what to do first vs. later)
Identify and prioritize highest-value market entry points and use cases
Align commercial efforts with product, clinical, and R&D milestones
Build and manage relationships across industry stakeholders (tech + healthcare)
Secure high-impact LOIs, pilots, and strategic collaborations
Support fundraising by demonstrating credible commercial traction

What You'll Bring

12–18+ years across commercial strategy, partnerships, and/or revenue leadership
Experience spanning both healthcare/medtech and adjacent industries (tech, data, platforms)
Proven ability to make and own critical decisions on market selection, segmentation, and prioritization of initial use cases
Track record of building new markets or categories
Ability to operate at both strategic and execution levels
Strong storytelling ability for technical, clinical, and investor audiences
Comfortable navigating ambiguity and long development timelines
Proven ability to operate in ambiguity and create outcomes from zero (no structure, no product, no brand)

$150,000 - $200,000 a year
