Lead Talent Partner (German-Speaking) (London)

About Eucalyptus (or ‘Euc’)

We’re making good health last life a lifetime

More than 1 billion people globally live with obesity — a major leading indicator of many preventable chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.

Eucalyptus is the company behind 'Juniper', one of the world’s largest weight management programs combining GLP-1 medication with a tailored nutrition and exercise programme, supported by our multidisciplinary care team of prescribers, health coaches, dietitians, nurses and pharmacists.

Our published clinical research demonstrates that our combined approach to weight management and lifestyle change means that our patients are 4x as likely to lose significant weight through their course of treatment with Juniper.

Since launching, we’ve grown fast to support millions of patients. In 2024…

• Globally, grew revenue by >120% YoY, while reducing cash burned by 90% YoY and grew our valuation to >$500M USD, with over $100M USD raised from global investors such as BOND, NewView, Blackbird and Airtree – early backers of companies like Canva, Stripe, Uber and Airbnb

• Grew to over 100,000 monthly active patients globally across our weight management program

• Grew from 5,000 to ~40,000 patients in the UK alone, and received selective NICE endorsement to provide service to the NHS

• Tailored our offering to over 10,000 patients in Germany and Japan, with a goal to extend our patient base to over 30,000 patients across both markets in 2025

In 2025, we are charting the path to support hundreds of thousands of patients while launching into new conditions, demographics, and geographies as we move towards our vision of creating a preventive healthcare ecosystem.

We’re building the world’s largest international digital healthcare company. This will be highly challenging, very rewarding and the adventure of a lifetime, working with the best operators you will ever encounter.

If that gets you excited, let’s talk!

About the role (What you’ll be doing)

We’ve found a solution that works for patients. What this means for Euc is that we’re growing rapidly, and will need to add 'Eucalypts' in every function across our global offices.

As Lead Talent Partner, you’ll be based in our London office, supporting across a range of functions from engineering to operations, and everything in between. You’ll be responsible for building and leading the Germany Talent team to support hiring managers with attracting and recruiting Eucalypts across Germany.

The impact of AI on business globally is inevitable, and the Talent function is no exception. You’ll play a critical role in helping to inform and execute our Global Talent Strategy, as well as coach others to embrace technology to improve quality, velocity and cost in recruitment, whilst elevating and differentiating our candidate experience to help Euc attract the best talent in the market.
This role is a hybrid role with an expectation of 3 days in-person at our offices in Old Street.

In this role you will…

• Lead end to end recruitment : Build a team of 1-2 Recruiters to deliver end to end recruitment processes from sourcing to offer accept across all functions in the business in partnership with Hiring Managers. You will guide the team’s performance through common Talent metrics and coach them towards performing in the top quartile.

• Develop our talent armoury : Upgrade our talent workflows, artefacts, and technology stack for a business looking to grow 10x in the next 3 years. This may include scoping, deciding, and rolling out a new applicant tracking system (ATS), and identifying where the team can leverage AI to reduce our time to hire and cost to hire across the business.

• Design and launch innovative and disciplined sourcing/nurturing strategies : We believe that the best hires are often referrals or sourced. In a world where InMails are abundant, how can we stand out in the best candidate’s inboxes, and build a relationship with them over time? Which industry events should we prioritise to connect with high-potential talent?

• Align the Talent function and workforce plans to broader business priorities : In order for the Talent function to succeed, this must be done in genuine partnership with Functional Leaders to understand their strategic priorities, current team capabilities, and where new capabilities must be brought into the business – and on what time horizon.
