## 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:

You're the person the clinic can rely on when it's busy — not because of seniority, but because of how you show up. Calm when the pace picks up. Consistent when things get hard. The kind of person colleagues quietly lean on, and members remember.

As an Operator at Neko, you'll be the welcoming face of our clinic and a key contributor to our preventive care model. You'll guide members through their visit, perform high-quality clinical assessments, and ensure every interaction reflects genuine care — not just an efficient process.

WHAT YOU'LL DELIVER IN THE FIRST 6–12 MONTHS:

- Welcome, assist, and guide members throughout their clinic visit, ensuring every interaction reflects a member-first mindset.
- Perform accurate, high-quality clinical assessments — vital signs, grip strength, eye pressure, ECGs, point-of-care tests, and phlebotomy — following established standards and protocols.
- Maintain exam rooms and uphold infection-control standards to ensure a safe, clean, and efficient clinical environment.
- Document assessments accurately and update member records with precision, supporting continuity of care across the clinical team.
- Work closely with fellow Operators and clinical staff to refine workflows, elevate quality, and support clinic operations as Neko scales.

## WHAT WE'RE HIRING FOR:

- Genuine Warmth -- You take the member experience personally. People leave your care feeling seen, not processed — and you notice the difference. The warmth is visible before you've said anything. Members feel it in the way you explain something, the way you check in, the way you say goodbye.
- Reliability Under Pressure - You're calm and consistent when the pace picks up. You manage multiple members and competing tasks without losing quality or warmth. When things break down, you're matter-of-fact — not dramatic, not dismissive. Steady.
- Natural Team Anchor -- You're the kind of person others naturally lean on — and you take pride in being that person. You don't wait to be asked. You step in, share what you know, and hold the standard. Not because it's in your job description, but because that's how you work.
- Fluent With the Tools -- Our technology is what makes the visit possible — and you're comfortable with it. You pick up new systems quickly and stay composed when something doesn't work the way it should, keeping the member in front of you at ease while you sort it out. When a tool isn't serving the experience, you say so. That's how we make it better for the next member.

## MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

- 3+ years of clinical experience in a patient-facing role
- Hands-on phlebotomy or venipuncture competency, plus EKG or vital-signs competency
- Customer service or hospitality experience (healthcare, retail, or service industry)
- Active CMA, CCMA, or LPN. Other nationally accredited medical assistant or phlebotomy certifications are also accepted: RMA, NCMA, NRCMA, CPT
- Current Basic Life Support (BLS) and First Aid certification through the American Heart Association (AHA)

## PREFERRED

- Phlebotomy certification (CPT)
- Experience in private health assessment, concierge wellness, or high-volume primary care
- Acute, hospital-based, or ICU/HDU experience. Urgent care is also considered, and general practice support
- Experience in tech-enabled practices and comfort with AI-assisted workflows
- Experience mentoring or teaching junior staff, students, or trainees

## COMPENSATION & BENEFITS:

- Paid Time Off & Holidays
- Medical, Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance
- 401(k) Retirement Plan
- Commuter Benefits
- Wellness Rewards Program
- Complimentary full Neko scan for you and eligible family members.

## 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.
