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.

Headquartered in Palo Alto, Subsense brings together leading scientists and engineers to redefine the future of human–machine interaction.
The Opportunity
Subsense is building a category-defining Brain-Computer Interface — and we’re looking for a Marketing Lead who will make sure the world knows it.
In this role, you will own how our company is seen, talked about, and remembered. Your responsibilities will include:
We're looking for a Head of PR who doesn't just promote a product — but helps define an entire industry.
This is not a "comms manager" role. This is a senior leadership position at a company building one of the most ambitious Brain-Computer Interface technologies in the world.
Your mission: build the strategic narrative and communications infrastructure that makes Subsense impossible to ignore.
You will own how the world understands us — shaping our positioning, driving our external voice, and ensuring our story reaches the right audiences with clarity, credibility, and force.
### Key Responsibilities
Develop and lead Subsense's end-to-end communications and positioning strategy, ensuring alignment across all external channels and stakeholders
Define the company narrative — translating deep, complex neurotechnology into a clear, compelling story for media, investors, partners, and the broader scientific and tech communities
Own brand voice, thought leadership, and content strategy across digital, social, events, and press
Set the category narrative for BCI, positioning Subsense as the field's defining voice — not a follower of it
Partner closely with founders, scientists, and business leads to align communications with company milestones and scientific progress
Lead media relations and build high-value relationships with journalists, editors, and influencers across tech, science, and healthcare
Monitor the competitive and market landscape to ensure our positioning stays ahead
Manage external agencies and partners to amplify reach and execution quality
Own the communications budget and measure impact with rigor
Build and scale a world-class communications and strategy team as the company grows
### What You'll Bring
We’re not looking for someone who “does marketing.”
We’re looking for someone who builds leadership, momentum, and reputation.
You bring:
Proven experience in a senior communications, strategy, or marketing leadership role — ideally in deep tech, biotech, or complex science-driven industries
A track record of building narratives for technologies without an existing playbook
Exceptional ability to translate highly technical concepts into confident, world-class storytelling
Strong relationships with or experience engaging media, investors, and scientific communities
Experience in early-stage or high-growth environments where speed, ambiguity, and ownership are the norm
Strategic thinking paired with a hands-on builder mindset
Comfort operating at the frontier — high-stakes, high-reward, and genuinely unprecedented
Fluent spoken and written English
Subsense is an equal-opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
