Join a HealthTech startup building critical national infrastructure to improve access to NHS services through technology and AI-powered workflows. We operate from within a GP practice in East London and are backed by leading investors and NHS programmes. We are focused on scaling adoption and creating a more transparent and accessible patient journey through our Bookable platform and related tools.

This is not a traditional Customer Success role. You’ll sit at the center of product adoption, customer growth, and operational execution, owning the most critical stage of the customer journey and helping turn early traction into long-term success. If you thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy solving problems, and want to play a key role in scaling a HealthTech startup, we’d love to hear from you.
