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

Most companies treat support as a queue to clear. We think it can be the warmest, most memorable part of the whole experience.

Neko Health is building a new kind of healthcare: proactive, human, and built around the member. In the US, that promise is about to meet thousands of new members, and the care behind every call, text, email, and message has to feel like hospitality at its best. Right now, that team is yet to be scaled, and you would help build it.

As a Member Care Lead, you will work with a team of peers to lead a high-performing, hospitality-led support organisation across email, phone, SMS, and social. You will guide frontline Agents, and you will work alongside Workforce Planning, Quality, Training, and Tooling colleagues to make great service consistent. You will partner closely with Clinics, Operations, Product, and Marketing, and stay hands-on where it matters most: complex escalations, high-visibility social moments, and coaching by example. All of it serves one common goal: to reinforce the Neko brand in everything we do and to exceed expectations every time.

You will help build a culture grounded in trust, accountability, and open communication, where every member interaction reflects Neko’s commitment to proactive, human-centred care. You will use data, automation, and AI to make that service faster and sharper, without losing the human touch at its heart.

We are scaling aggressively, and this is the moment to get it right. If you want to build something extraordinary, something members talk about long after the conversation ends, this is the role.

What You’ll Do

• Work with your peers to scale a high-performing US customer care function, with measurable improvements in SLA, CSAT/NPS, QA scores, and first-contact resolution. (Member-first, always)

• Work with Workforce Planning to help forecast demand and optimise rotas, so staffing supports clinic operations and demand variability. (Tech-enabled, human-centred)

• Collaborate on scalable SOPs, escalation frameworks, and service playbooks that simplify operations while protecting trust and speed. (Hard truths, high hopes)

• Partner with colleagues across the business to reduce avoidable contacts, give members greater clarity, and raise support efficiency. (Chase 10X, not 10%)

• Strengthen alignment with Clinics, Operations, Product, and Marketing so member communication is consistent and service delivery is seamless. (Impact, not activity)

• Help build Voice-of-Member feedback loops that inform product development, operational improvements, and training priorities. (Optimistic truth-seeking)

• Stay selectively hands-on with complex escalations, public-facing social care, and coaching, setting the standard by example.
