Financial Controller

Healf was founded by two brothers – Max and Lestat – with a relentless drive to reshape health and wellness.

Their journey has been fuelled by hard work, intensity, and a commitment to build something transformative.

Like all of us, they’re here to make a lasting impact.

Build the future of Health. Create your life’s best work.

If healthcare were built for today, it wouldn’t resemble the reactive, fragmented system we see now. It would be proactive, personalized, and preventative – designed to optimize wellbeing and unlock human potential. Digital-first, tech-powered, with a seamless experience as innovative as Tesla and the cultural impact of Nike. At Healf, we’re not just imagining this future – we’re building it.

Our vision

Health is at a crossroads. Chronic diseases account for 86% of deaths in Europe, yet the healthcare system isn’t designed to provide the preventative, personalized care people need. At Healf, our mission is bold: to put health back in people’s hands. Through curating world-class products and our revolutionary Healf Zone platform , we’re creating a science-driven, personalized approach to preventative care that inspires better living every day. Backed by visionary investors – including those who backed Alo Yoga , Cult Beauty, Innocent Smoothies and Soho House – we’re redefining what health looks like for the world. This isn’t just a business; it’s a movement – a generational opportunity to reshape how we live.

Join us

We’re looking for A+ players – insanely talented, ambitious, and hard-working individuals – ready to build the future of health with us. If you thrive on challenges, dream big, and want to do your life’s best work, we want to hear from you.
