We’re building a new way to deliver healthcare — one that is fast, accessible, and designed for real-world scale. By combining technology, data, and clinical rigor, we’re creating seamless health experiences that put people first. We’re a growing, profitable company working alongside leading players in the healthcare and life sciences space, and partnering on large-scale initiatives that aim to transform how early detection and population health are approached. We move quickly, take ownership, and hold a high bar for everything we do.

The role is designed for someone at that stage of their career rather than for a team lead., • Interest in healthcare or pharma. Direct exposure is a plus, not a requirement; familiarity with market access, patient pathways, healthcare stakeholders or reimbursement is welcome., • Solid project coordination skills: you can hold a plan together, keep owners and deadlines visible, and move things forward without being chased., • Comfortable with data. You can structure a problem with numbers, define KPIs and work in Excel or similar tools.

You are comfortable being new to a topic and getting to a useful level fast., • Ownership: give you a problem and you take it forward without needing step-by-step instructions., • Clear communicator, comfortable working with clients and senior colleagues., • Pragmatic, hands-on and happy in a fast-paced startup where things are still being built., • Meaningful work with real impact on healthcare., • High ownership and autonomy from day one., • Shape processes and ways of working as we grow., • Work with leading pharma and healthcare partners., • Broad exposure across operations, data and healthcare., • Close collaboration with senior leadership. #J-18808-Ljbffr
