## Job description

Mission Neko is redefining what prevention means, from treating illness when it arrives, to sustaining health before it's ever at risk. Our mission: make data-driven, preventative care accessible to more people, before symptoms appear.

In a single, non-invasive visit under an hour, proprietary technology and direct clinical care combine to deliver personalised, actionable insights. It's a team that thinks in 10x, not 10%. Every role here plays a part in building a world where prevention is the norm, and where your work genuinely helps people live longer, healthier lives.

## Role Purpose

As the General Manager for Sweden, you will own and lead all aspects of Neko Health’s clinic operations, team leadership, and market growth across Sweden. This is a highly hands-on leadership role with full P&L responsibility, requiring a strong operator mindset, deep experience in consumer or membership-based businesses, and a relentless focus on delivering outstanding member experiences.

What You’ll Deliver in the First 6–12 Months

- Lead and optimise operations across all Sweden clinics, improving efficiency, quality, and financial performance against defined KPIs.
- Own Sweden P&L, delivering against budget, forecast, and profitability targets while maintaining high standards of care and compliance.
- Implement standardised operational processes and performance metrics aligned with global frameworks.
- Build, mentor, and lead high-performing teams including Area Leaders, Lead Doctors, and clinic support staff.
- Strengthen collaboration with global and dotted-line teams (Medical Excellence, Operations, Customer Support, Facilities, People Partners, Talent Acquisition, Demand and Marketing).
- Develop and execute the Sweden market strategy in line with Neko Health’s global objectives.
- Drive sustainable growth through new clinic openings, market expansion, and member acquisition initiatives in close partnership with Marketing.
- Ensure full compliance with Swedish healthcare regulations and local governance requirements.
- Champion a member-first culture, using feedback and insights to continuously improve the end-to-end member experience.

## Minimum Qualifications

- Proven experience in a Country Manager, General Manager, or equivalent senior leadership role within a high touch consumer-facing, membership or subscription-based business.
- Demonstrated ownership of full P&L responsibility with a track record of driving profitable growth.
- Strong operational leadership experience, including multi-site management and process optimisation.
- Excellent people leadership skills with experience leading diverse, multidisciplinary teams.
- Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to operate effectively in a matrixed organisation.
- Experience working in highly regulated environments with accountability for compliance.

## Preferred Experience

- Background in wellness, healthcare-adjacent, hospitality, technology, or retail sectors.
- Experience scaling operations in fast-growing, mission-driven organisations.
- Strong commercial acumen paired with a deep commitment to customer or member experience excellence.

## About Neko Health

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Neko Health is a healthcare technology company that has engineered a proprietary, data-driven preventive health scan to detect early signs of disease in otherwise healthy individuals.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Funding Stage: Series A)
- **Headquarters**: Stockholm, Sweden
- **Founded**: 2018
- **Founders**: Daniel Ek (Co-founder, also founder/CEO of Spotify) and Hjalmar Nilsonne (Co-founder)

## Core Business
- Primary industry/industries: Healthcare Technology, Preventive Medicine, Clinical Diagnostics
- Target customers: B2C – Health-conscious individuals; B2B Potential – Self-insured employers
- Mission or purpose statement: “To provide healthcare that’s proactive instead of reactive – so that people can live longer, healthier lives.”

## Products & Services
- **[The Neko Health Scan]**: A 60-minute, full-body health check that captures millions of data points across the skin, heart, blood, and circulation using four proprietary devices (Derma, Spectrum, Echo, and Neko Lens). Includes an unrushed consultation with a doctor where results are discussed immediately. The scan is priced at approximately 2750kr (~$260) in Sweden and is designed for asymptomatic, healthy individuals looking for prevention.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed (as of mid-2026).
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding – **$325.1M** (one prior funding round).
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Backed by “investors who have built and scaled some of the most ambitious technology companies of the last two decades” (individual names not publicly listed on career page). The company has strong ties to the tech and startup ecosystem.
- **Growth Signals**: Over 1,000 employees (more than half in clinical roles). Aggressive expansion with active clinic locations in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Stockholm, and plans for more. Job postings have increased +344.4% year-over-year (as of mid-2026), indicating rapid scaling.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Proprietary Hardware**: All four scanning devices are designed, engineered, and assembled in-house in Stockholm, creating a hard-to-replicate technological moat.
- **Integrated Clinical Model**: Unlike traditional clinics or digital health apps, Neko combines its proprietary hardware with on-site doctors, clinical researchers, and data science under one roof with a low patient volume per doctor ( ~9 members/day vs. 30+ in standard care). This enables a focus on prevention, not just treatment.
- **Data Moat**: The system captures millions of structured data points per scan, allowing for peer benchmarking and longitudinal tracking over years, creating a powerful, network-effect dataset for preventive health insights.
- **Leadership**: Co-founded by Daniel Ek (Spotify) and Hjalmar Nilsonne.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling the Scan Room**: Neko is actively testing a second-generation modular scan room platform designed to capture more signals and scale to new locations.
- **Global Expansion**: Opening new clinics across the UK and Europe, with a clear intent to make the service more accessible.
- **Clinical Research & Governance**: Continued focus on validating their devices with clinical studies and building a clinical leadership team (including ex-NHS and Amazon Health executives) to establish preventive care as a formal clinical discipline.

## Why Work Here
- **Mission-Driven**: The company was founded to solve the fundamental problem of late-stage diagnosis by focusing on prevention. The work is presented as having a direct, positive impact on human longevity.
- **Culture & Engineering**: The company actively showcases a deep engineering culture where “clinical insight can become a hardware iteration overnight.” Clinicians and engineers share the same floor, fostering rapid iteration and innovation.
- **Compensation & Benefits**: Salaries are benchmarked via market research. Benefits include comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance, 401K, Paid Time Off, Life Insurance, Disability Insurance, CME Days, and Commuter Benefits.
- **Work Model**: Roles are **on-site** at specific clinic locations. Training for medical roles is fully paid. The interview process is designed to give candidates a feel for the culture and mission.
- **Growth Trajectory**: With 80+ active job postings and triple-digit growth in hiring, the company is in a high-growth phase, offering significant career development opportunities.
