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
As Medical Director in Sweden, you will be the principal medical authority across our Swedish sites. Accountable for clinical performance, governance, quality, team leadership, and the credibility of Neko’s clinical model. You will report to the Medical Director, Europe and work closely with the international medical leadership team.
You will have a visible, active presence in the clinics. Hold the clinical standard with consistency and clarity and build a strong clinical team culture together with the Swedish clinical leads. Beyond the clinics, you are Neko’s medical voice in Sweden. You will engage with academic institutions, regulatory bodies, professional networks, and public health discourse.
