Summary

As City Lead for Birmingham, you will oversee local growth and activation strategy, acting as the face of the brand to build relationships with members, influencers, and partners. You will drive community engagement, manage events, and support booking and retention goals through B2C and B2B initiatives.

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.

You will act as the face of the brand locally, building strong relationships with members, influencers, partners, and the wider consumer and business community to serve Neko’s B2C (member) and B2B (employer) objectives. This role combines community management, marketing, events and partnerships to ensure our clinic delivers an exceptional experience, remains top of mind locally, and is widely talked about and recommended, while supporting bookings and retention goals.
