Job description

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. We think 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.

What You'll Deliver In The First 6–12 Months

• Own and evolve Neko's physical design standards across EMEA — ensuring consistency and excellence across all clinic and space touchpoints
• 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

Minimum Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in architecture, design management, or a related role within the construction industry.
• Strong creative design skills with high attention to detail.
• Demonstrated experience managing cross‑disciplinary design teams and external consultants across complex projects.
• Broad knowledge of building codes, regulations, and industry standards across European markets.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Proficiency in design software (e.g. Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp) and project management tools.
• Strong problem‑solving skills with the ability to manage multiple projects under tight deadlines.
