Nothing exists to make tech feel exciting again.
Founded in London in 2020, we’ve grown from idea to global challenger in just a few years. Backed by GV (Google Ventures), EQT Ventures, and C Ventures, and investors like Tony Fadell (iPod), Casey Neistat, and Kevin Lin (Twitch), we’re now sold in 40+ markets with millions of users worldwide.
Nothing is building a different kind of tech company. The US is one of the most important markets in the world, and one of the hardest to crack without a billion-dollar budget and a legacy brand. That is exactly why this role exists. The foundations are in place: DTC, Amazon, a product people actually talk about. Now we need someone to take it somewhere bigger. The playbook has not been written yet. You will write it.
What You'll Do- Own the North America P&L. Set targets, manage the budget, and hit the numbers without losing sight of the brand.
- Define the North America growth strategy across channels, partners, and bets, and own its execution end to end.
- Build and lead the US team. Hire for the gaps, set the standard, and create the conditions for people to do their best work.
- Represent Nothing in the US. Be the face of the brand locally, build the relationships that matter, and put Nothing in the right rooms.
- Identify and close partnerships that open new distribution, cultural moments, or commercial scale.
- Drive retail and channel expansion beyond the current DTC and Amazon footprint.
- Report directly into global leadership and shape how the wider business thinks about the US opportunity.
- A track record of cracking something open: a market, a channel, a moment. Not optimising what was already working.
- Experience building commercial operations from an early stage, with direct accountability for growth and revenue.
- The instinct to create demand, not just capture it. You understand culture and know how to make it work commercially.
- A credible local presence. You are known in the right circles, comfortable representing a brand publicly, and able to open doors through relationships, not just budget.
- Comfortable with limited resources and real ambiguity. You find the way through, not around.
- A builder of teams, not an inheritor of them. You hire well and bring people with you.
- Background in consumer hardware, audio, wearables, or a lifestyle brand that crossed into mainstream. Founders who have proven they can punch above their weight are equally welcome.
- Location: San Francisco
- Working Pattern: Full-time, in-office. We can work around personal needs where it makes sense, but being together is how we do our best work.
- Compensation: $250,000–$350,000 base
Skills Required
- Track record of market expansion and revenue generation
- Experience building commercial operations
- Strong understanding of consumer culture and demand creation
- Ability to operate with limited resources
- Experience in hiring and building teams

- Background in consumer hardware or similar industry
What We Do
Today, we’re left with just a few large incumbents. Lacking instinct and courage, they use research and analysis as crutches to make cold, unexciting and derivative products. Consumers are bored, no longer inspired by technology and instead feel uneasy about big tech and its impact on people's lives and society. Nothing is igniting change in the world. We’re here to make tech fun again, unleash creativity, and inspire our community to shape the future with us. About us: Nothing is a UK-based privately held company with backing from GV (formerly Google Ventures), EQT Ventures, C Ventures and other private investors including Tony Fadell (Principal at Future Shape & inventor of the iPod), Casey Neistat (YouTube personality and Co-founder of Beme), Kevin Lin (Co-founder of Twitch) and Steve Huffman (Co-founder and CEO of Reddit
