About CoMind
The brain is the most critical organ in the human body, yet it remains the least monitored. For decades, getting a real-time window into what is happening inside it has meant drilling into the skull. This is an invasive, risky process reserved for only the most critical cases. We believe that measuring the brain should be as routine as measuring the heart or oxygen levels.
CoMind is making this possible. For more than thirty years, the holy grail of neurocritical care has been to measure vital brain signals like cerebral perfusion non-invasively, and we have solved the physics challenge required to do exactly that. Using photons to see through the skull in real time, alongside machine learning, our first product replaces drills and bolts with a simple sensor. By providing continuous data at the bedside, we are opening the door to better outcomes for millions of patients across the ICU and operating room.
We are VC-backed, protected by 50+ patents, and on a clear path to FDA clearance.
The Role
Reporting to the Chief of Staff, the Strategic Execution Lead sits in the CEO Office and takes the CEO's highest-priority initiatives from intent to deliver outcomes at pace and to an exceptional standard.
The role exists to multiply the CEO and Chief of Staff’s reach: where they set a priority, this person runs through walls to get it done.
Embedded in the business for proximity and context, but accountable to the CEO's agenda, not the business's org chart. That distinction is the role.
Responsibilities:
- Delivery of the CEO's priority projects. Drives, unblocks, and closes the initiatives the CEO cares most about. This role is cross-functional, often ambiguous, always high-stakes. Owns the outcome, not just the coordination.
- Pace and standard. Holds the bar inside the business. Forces decisions, removes friction, and keeps things moving faster than they otherwise would.
- The CEO's line of sight. Translates priorities down into the business and surfaces reality back up. What’s real, what's stuck, what needs the CEO.
- Trusted execution at seniority. Operates credibly with the business head and their leadership team, carrying the CEO's intent without needing him in the room.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Experience we are looking for:
- High agency. Defaults to ownership. Takes an ambiguous brief and returns a result, not a list of questions. Creates momentum where there was none and does not wait to be told the next step.
- High EQ. Reads people and rooms. Carries the CEO's authority without ego or abrasion: can push a senior leader, hold a hard line, and keep the relationship intact. Discreet by instinct; trusted with sensitive ground.
- Strong operator. Gets things done, cleanly and at speed. Structures chaos, sequences the work, and lands it to a high standard under real pressure. Judgement that holds up when the path isn't obvious.
- Prior Start-Up Experience. Has worked in a start-up environment.
- Consulting Background. Has trained or worked closely with a consulting firm.
