About The Position

Paradromics is building a brain-computer interface (BCI) platform that records brain activity at the highest possible resolution: the individual neuron. AI algorithms then decode this massive amount of brain-data, enabling the seamless translation of thought into treatments. Our first clinical application, the Connexus® BCI, will help people who are unable to speak, due to ALS, spinal cord injuries and stroke, to communicate independently through digital devices. However, the capabilities of our BCI platform go far beyond our first application. With the brain in direct communication with digital devices, we can leverage technology to transform how we treat conditions ranging from sensory and motor deficits to untreatable mental illness. Paradromics is seeking a strategic and hands-on Director of Business Systems to lead the design, implementation, and optimization of enterprise systems that support our fast-growing organization in Austin, TX. This role will oversee business-critical platforms across finance, operations, quality, and supply chain, ensuring systems are scalable, compliant, and aligned with company objectives.
