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.

Lead concept development and design direction for new location rollouts, raising the bar for spatial experience across the organisation
Translate Neko's brand and experience principles into clear, compelling physical environments — from test fits and layouts through to final delivery
Partner with Project Managers, consultants, and contractors to deliver cohesive, high-impact spaces on time and to specification
Build and contribute to Neko's Location Design Playbook, creating scalable standards that support rapid international expansion
