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

As head of finance at Nudge, you will:

  • Own all financial operations end-to-end: accounting, FP&A, tax, treasury, and procurement
  • Build scalable systems, tools, and controls to support rapid growth
  • Ensure financial accuracy, transparency, and efficiency across the company
  • Partner with leadership on planning, runway, and capital allocation

About You

We are looking for a head of finance with at least 5 years of industry experience. Regardless of career level, you should have:

  • Experience leading finance at an early-stage or high-growth tech/R&D company
  • Experience building and scaling financial systems and processes from the ground up
  • Hands-on experience across accounting, FP&A, and operational finance
  • Comfort switching between strategic planning and hands-on execution
  • Excellent analytical, organizational, and communication skills
  • High integrity and strong professional judgement
