About this role
About Subsense
Subsense is building an AI-native NanoBCI: a non-surgical brain-computer interface that uses nanoparticles instead of implants. We are about 40 scientists and engineers across two Bay Area labs, starting with medical applications such as Parkinson's and ALS. Our marketing team runs conferences, PR, investor materials, events and our social presence, and the pace is high.
The role
You are the person who makes sure nothing falls through the cracks. In a typical month our marketing team tracks 10 or more conference deadlines, a weekly PR agency cycle, several vendors, lab visits, filming days and investor requests, all at once.
You will own the system that holds all of it: one source of truth for deadlines, owners and status. You will close loops before anyone has to ask. This is a contract-to-hire position based on performance.
What you will do
- Brand system: build and maintain our Figma library (templates, components, icons, chart styles) so every file starts on brand
- Pitch decks and investor materials: maintain the master pitch deck, make fast slide edits for fundraising, build one-pagers and data room documents
- Presentations: keynote and conference slides for our CEO and scientists, templates the whole team can use
- Social media: monthly static posts, carousels, infographics and simple motion for LinkedIn and X, built on reusable templates
- Event and conference materials: roll-up banners, booth graphics, sponsor assets, signage, badges, printed programs, ready for print vendors
- Out of home and campaigns: billboard and digital ad creative, from concept to print-ready files
- Merch: artwork and tech packs for caps, T-shirts and gifts
- File hygiene: every deliverable ships with an editable native file in our shared drive, named and versioned
You might be a fit if you
- Have a portfolio that shows brand systems, not just one-off pieces, ideally including decks and print
- Are fluent in Figma and Canva, and comfortable in Google Slides
- Use AI image and video tools as part of your workflow and know where they help and where they hurt quality
- Can take a messy request ("make slide 8 clearer, tomorrow") and ask the two right questions before you start
- Care about typography, spacing and restraint
- Are curious about neuroscience, biotech or deep tech
- Are reachable during California business hours (Pacific Time) and can turn quick adjustments around the same day
Nice to have
- Experience with scientific or medical visuals
- Packaging, merch or environmental design
How to apply
Send your portfolio, a short note on why Subsense and your weekly availability. Shortlisted candidates complete three short test tasks and present them in a Loom before the first interview.
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.
Our work takes place across labs in Palo Alto and Mountain View. We offer a competitive salary, equity, and comprehensive benefits, including medical, dental, and vision coverage, a 401(k), commuter benefits, and paid time off.
Subsense is an equal-opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
