Co-Founder Opportunity — Psychologist (Sensory/Developmental Focus)
London (or remote with travel) | Part-time or flexible | Equity + Impact
About
Our Company is a sensory-first product company built by people who understand the need. We’re designing premium, durable, emotionally intelligent products for non-verbal and neurodivergent individuals — starting with tactile tools that support regulation, calm, and connection. This is a category that’s long been overlooked. We’re here to build trust where it’s been broken — with tools that feel good, look good, and do good. We’ve made early progress bringing the vision to life and are now looking for a mission-aligned psychology expert to help shape the next chapter as part of the founding team.
The Role We’re looking for a Clinical, Developmental, or Occupational Psychologist (or someone with similar credentials) to join the founding team — not just as a scientific advisor, but as a strategic, creative, values-led co-founder. You’ll help us:
- Translate emotional and behavioral needs into product decisions
- Guide sensory design principles with psychological grounding
- Build frameworks to validate emotional and therapeutic impact
- Support ethical and inclusive product testing and language
- Shape our communication with parents, carers, and clinicians
- Help lead research collaborations or partnerships in the future
- Be part of something deeply meaningful from the ground up
You Might Be a Fit If You…
- Have a background in psychology, neuroscience, or occupational therapy
- Have experience with autism, sensory processing disorders, or non-verbal individuals
- Understand that trust, dignity, and lived experience matter just as much as theory
- Are excited by the idea of being part of a brand that is warm, disruptive, and emotionally intelligent
- Want to make something that lasts — and helps
- Are open to working closely with a founder who’s lived this journey personally
What We Offer
- Co-founder equity
- Creative and strategic leadership
- A chance to shape a brand that redefines a neglected space
- A partnership built on respect, story, and shared belief
- Remote flexibility with optional in-person collaboration
Let’s Build Something Better. If you’re ready to help redefine what care, calm, and support look like — especially for the people who need it most — we’d love to meet you.
