Head of Operations & Business Management

Business Operations ManagerNeuroBionics, an MIT neurotechnology spinout, is developing novel implantable devices that interface seamlessly with the human body to treat neurological conditions. Leveraging over a decade of innovation, we have engineered a novel neural interface using microscale, flexible, bioelectronic fibers that can be delivered into the body through minimally invasive endovascular approaches. By making neural interfacing a minimally invasive procedure, we aim to revolutionize deep brain stimulation and broaden access to life-changing neuromodulation therapies to millions of patients.NeuroBionics is hiring a Business Operations Manager to be the operational backbone of our growing team.
