Head of D2C Marketing

About the Company

We're a small team solving one of the hardest problems in human-computer interaction: a noninvasive wearable that turns thought into text, no surgery required.

By pairing ultra-high-density neural sensing with our Brain Foundation Model, we decode neural signals with a fidelity once reserved for implants. Our mission is to give a billion people a direct link between mind and machine, expanding how humans think, communicate, and create.

We're now bringing our hardware, and the growing ecosystem of related products and software around it, directly to consumers. We're backed by strong investors, moving fast, and assembling a world-class team to bring this to market. If you thrive at the frontier of what's possible and want to build the commercial engine behind something that genuinely changes how people interact with their own minds, we want to talk to you.

About the Role

You will own everything that happens when a customer lands on our website and decides whether to become one of ours. That includes the content and landing pages that make the case, the checkout experience that closes the sale, the paid media that brings people in the door, the lifecycle programs that keep them, and the organic and AI-search presence that gets us found in the first place.

You will report directly to the CEO. You’ll inherit a small team of internal and external resources on day one, and you'll work closely with a cross-functional team that has already made real progress standing up our D2C capability. Your job is to bring dedicated, expert ownership to that effort: turn a promising start into a fully-functioning D2C funnel, then run and optimize it.

You'll start hands-on-keyboard, building the funnel from scratch alongside internal and external resources, including a world-class, AI-native engineering team, and a robust AI toolkit. As the business scales, you'll build and lead a larger internal team to match.

What You'll Do

Own the full D2C funnel end-to-end: site content, landing pages, checkout, and conversion rate optimization

Plan, manage, and optimize paid media spend across channels, owning the budget and the ROI story behind it

Build and run lifecycle marketing programs (email, SMS, and beyond) to drive retention and LTV

Drive SEO and GEO (generative engine optimization) strategy so we're found through both traditional search and AI-driven discovery

Manage and develop the internal resource(s) and external agency partners you inherit, and build out the team as scale demands it

Use AI tools throughout your workflow to multiply output and move faster than a traditional team could

Partner with the cross-functional team already working on D2C to bring the function fully online, then own it going forward

Report directly to the CEO on funnel performance, budget, and growth strategy

What We're Looking For

Must-Haves

Proven D2C marketing leadership experience, with a track record of building or scaling a direct-to-consumer funnel

Deep, hands-on fluency with the Shopify and Klaviyo playbook

Experience across the full D2C stack: CRO, paid media, lifecycle, and SEO, even if you've specialized in one or two

Comfortable being both the strategist and the executor, especially in the early build phase

Fluent and enthusiastic user of AI tools to extend your own capacity

Data-driven and analytical, with a scrappy, get-it-done work style

Experience managing external agencies and internal team members

Nice-to-Haves

Experience building a D2C function from near-zero, not just optimizing an existing one

Familiarity with hardware or consumer electronics D2C motions

Experience with generative engine optimization (GEO) specifically, not just traditional SEO

Prior experience reporting directly to a CEO or founder

If you’re excited about this role but don’t meet every qualification, please apply. As we build, we’re hiring for complementary strengths to form a high-impact team.
