Office of the CEO: Special Projects
About Paradromics
We are building a direct data interface with the brain to provide technology solutions to unmet medical challenges. A revolutionary leap beyond today’s research-grade brain computer interfaces (BCI), our Connexus® Direct Data Interface (DDI) collects neural signals at an industry-leading high data-rate and is designed for long-term daily use. Our first clinical application will enable severely motor-impaired people to communicate and independently use a computer, translating their neural signals into synthesized speech, text, and cursor control. We will continue to expand the capabilities of our massively scalable platform to support a pipeline of future applications that could benefit millions.
As we continue to scale, we are looking for a driven, sharp, and execution-oriented individual to join the Office of the CEO: Special Projects—a fast-paced, high-impact role designed for someone who thrives on dynamic challenges and wants a front-row seat to the intersection of deeptech, venture capital, and strategic decision-making.
The Role
This is an opportunity to work directly with the CEO and Founder of an exciting deeptech company. You will be in the room for the most exciting conversations and the most important decisions. The goal of this role is to offload complex, high-value projects that slip through the cracks of the organization and end up on the plate of the CEO.
This role is ideal for a highly ambitious professional with a STEM background and business mindset. It is an excellent opportunity for someone with a strong desire to break into deeptech, venture capital, or startup leadership. You will work closely with the CEO on high-stakes external-facing projects, including investor relations, market research, thought-leadership content, and strategic initiatives.
This is not a traditional, structured role—it is fast-moving, high-pressure, and often complex. You will be expected to figure things out, challenge assumptions, and push execution forward—sometimes at odd hours. If you want a highly structured job, this isn’t it. If you want unparalleled exposure to deeptech, investors, and high-level decision-making, this is the role for you.
