ABOUT PRECISION NEUROSCIENCE

Precision Neuroscience is building a next-generation brain–computer interface (BCI) to heal and empower millions of people living with neurological conditions. Our first product, Layer 7, is designed to help people with severe paralysis operate digital devices using only their thoughts—opening up new possibilities for daily life. Our team brings together experts in neurosurgery, AI and machine learning, microfabrication, electrical engineering, clinical science, and more. We combine deep technical rigor with a people-first mindset to turn breakthrough research into real-world medical solutions.

As a Precision employee, you’ll join one of the fastest-moving and best-capitalized companies in the emerging field of brain–computer interfaces. Since our founding in 2021, we have raised more than $180 million, advanced our technology through validation, and initiated human trials with leading hospitals across the country.

Our Values:

We build for human impact, measuring progress by the lives our work can change.

We do no harm, holding ourselves to the highest standards of safety, integrity, and responsibility.

We innovate with urgency, because the stakes are high and our users can’t wait.

We bring sharp minds, open ears, pairing expertise with curiosity, humility, and respect.

And we lead the way, taking ownership of our work and helping to shape the future of our field.

We are seeking a Senior Manager, Learning, Development and Engagement to join our People team. In this role you will architect the evolution of Precision's growth. You will design how people grow their careers, shape environments that expand our culture, and build intentional learning and development programs that support all employees.

Key Responsibilities

Learning & Development (Primary Arena)

You are the quarterback of how people get better, faster, and more intentionally.

• Design and execute a company-wide Learning & Development strategy aligned to business and growth objectives
• Own and evolve partnerships with external providers (e.g., Hone)
• Build and curate high-impact learning content (manager training, leadership development, functional skill-building, competency-specific)
• Conduct ongoing training needs assessments across teams and levels
• Create and continuously improve a best-in-class new hire onboarding experience (30/60/90 that actually means something)
• Own and optimize our LMS, ensuring it is used, useful, and loved (not ignored and quietly resented)
• Develop scalable learning pat

Office Experience & Team Leadership (Culture Engine)

You will lead the people who make our offices feel like us.

• Directly manage Office Workplace Experience Managers in NYC and Santa Clara
• Elevate the in-office experience to support productivity, connection, and culture
• Ensure consistency with local flavor across offices
• Partner on events, rituals, and moments that reinforce our values (not just free snacks and forced fun)

Systems & Enablement (Force Multiplier)

You help make our systems work for people, not against them.

• Partner on integrations and optimization across:
  • CandorIQ
  • Hone
  • Lattice
  • HRMS
  • Kula (ATS)
• Lead training and adoption efforts for People systems
• Ensure managers and employees actually know how to use the tools we invest in

What Great Looks Like

In 30 Days

• You’ve built a sharp point of view on our current L&D and onboarding gaps
• You’ve met key leaders and understand where capability gaps exist
• You’ve assessed our LMS and partnerships (what’s working, what’s noise)
• You’ve built trust with the Office Managers and understand each office’s personality

Translation: You’re not guessing anymore. You see the system.

In 60 Days

• You’ve launched improvements to onboarding (clear, structured, measurable)
• You’ve defined an L&D roadmap tied to company priorities and Growth & Development
• You’ve introduced early wins in manager training or leadership development
• You’ve identified system friction points and begun driving adoption improvements

Translation: People are already feeling the difference.

In 90 Days

• You’ve launched a cohesive, scalable L&D framework across the company
• Onboarding is consistent, high-quality, and measurably improving ramp time
• Managers have tools and training they’re actually using
• Office experience feels intentional, energized, and aligned across locations
• Systems are more integrated, more intuitive, and more widely adopted

Translation: This function now exists in a way it didn’t before.

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

• You’ve built or significantly upgraded L&D programs, not just maintained them
• You think in systems, not events
• You can move from strategy → execution without getting stuck in either
• You care deeply about employee experience but are allergic to fluff
• You know how to influence leaders without waiting for permission
• You bring both structure and energy into a room

Why This Role Matters

This is not a “keep the lights on” job. This is a “build the engine that powers everything else” job.

If we get this right:

• People grow faster
• Managers lead better
• Teams perform at a higher level
• Culture scales instead of dilutes

If we get it wrong… we feel it everywhere.

Why Join Us

• You’ll work directly with the Chief People Officer to build something that most companies only talk about.
• You’ll have the space to design, not just execute.
• You’ll have leadership that is passionate about this work.
• And you’ll have the chance to leave a fingerprint on how an entire company grows.

Diverse workforces create the best culture, company, and products. We at Precision are committed to an inclusive culture that celebrates the uniqueness and contributions of everyone.
