About the role

This person will make sure our office, labs, prototyping spaces, and shared infrastructure run reliably and scale with the company.
Identify and resolve operational bottlenecks before they become meaningful problems for engineering or research teams.
Step into high-priority operational issues as needed, especially in moments where speed, judgment, and reliability matter more than perfect role boundaries.

We're starting with an approach that we believe can help the most people the fastest, and also allow us to learn as much about the brain as possible: developing a non-invasive, ultrasound-based device that can stimulate and image the brain at high resolution and depth.
Own day-to-day workplace and facilities operations across Nudge's office, lab, and hardware development spaces.
Design and run the operational systems that keep the physical environment reliable, safe, and efficient, including access control, badging, shipping and receiving, inventory, supplies, maintenance, repairs, vendors, and workplace services.
Partner closely with hardware, research, and engineering teams to understand what they need from the physical environment and make sure our spaces support fast, dependable execution.
Own relationships with building management, contractors, service providers, and key operational vendors, and hold a high bar for responsiveness, quality, and follow-through.
Own space planning, moves, build outs, expansions, and reconfigurations as the company grows.
Own facilities-related budgeting, purchasing, and expense management, and help leadership make good decisions about priorities and tradeoffs.

Experience running facilities, workplace, lab, or physical operations in a fast-paced company, ideally in hardware, R&D, manufacturing, or robotics.
Strong judgment and the ability to prioritize what matters most in a dynamic environment with competing demands.
A highly organized, detail-oriented, and reliable working style.
You notice what is broken, missing, late, or likely to fail, and you address it.
Comfort being hands-on and directly handling the work when needed.
Experience managing vendors, contractors, and service providers, with the ability to hold a high bar for execution and accountability.
A strong operational and systems-oriented mindset.
You do not just solve immediate problems - you improve the underlying process so they do not keep recurring.

This is a vertically integrated effort building cutting-edge hardware, software, and research capabilities to create products that can benefit millions - and eventually billions - of people.

At Nudge, our mission is to develop the best technology for interfacing with the brain to improve people's lives.
We're looking for a Head of Workplace Operations to own the physical operating environment at Nudge.
