Jobs at Nudge, an Axonify company (Now Hiring) — 2 open

About Nudge

At Nudge, our mission is to develop the best technology for interfacing with the brain to improve people's lives. 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. 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.

To succeed, we need to assemble world-class teams across everything we do. We hire people who are exceptional at their craft, believe hard things are worth doing, and execute relentlessly — people who expect the highest levels of both rigor and integrity from each other.

About the role

We’re looking for a Head of Workplace Operations to own the physical operating environment at Nudge. This person will make sure our office, labs, prototyping spaces, and shared infrastructure run reliably and scale with the company. The role is highly hands-on and requires strong judgment, follow-through, and the ability to build systems that help technical teams move quickly.

You will

• 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.

• Identify and resolve operational bottlenecks before they become meaningful problems for engineering or research teams.

• Own facilities-related budgeting, purchasing, and expense management, and help leadership make good decisions about priorities and tradeoffs.

• Step into high-priority operational issues as needed, especially in moments where speed, judgment, and reliability matter more than perfect role boundaries.

About you

Regardless of career level, you should have:

• 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.

• Clear communication and a bias toward speed and follow-through.

• A high bar for the quality of the environment people work in, and an understanding that operational excellence is a multiplier for every team around you.

• High integrity and strong professional judgement
