Expansion Launch Operations Lead US

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 We're building something big, and we need someone who can make sure every new clinic we open hits the ground running.

This is a high-visibility, high-impact role for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, sweats the details, and knows how to rally a team around a shared deadline. This isn't a behind-the-desk job. You'll have real ownership, real visibility, and the satisfaction of seeing something go from an empty space to a fully operational clinic, all because of the work you did. You'll help shape how we scale, influence the playbooks that outlast any single launch, and be a core part of a team that's genuinely changing how people access healthcare.
