# Lab Launch Lead, Europe

**Neko Health** · London

Apply: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/neko-health/e075e594-0be9-41af-a3a0-1f5c9a69ce5e

## About Neko Health

The Neko Health Scan checks your heart, skin, blood, and metabolic health in one hour, with results explained by a clinician. Clinics across the UK.

## About the role

##### 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. 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.

**Job Title: Lab Launch Manager, Europe**

Location: London, UK

Employment Type: Full-time

#### Role Purpose

This role commissions new Neko labs end-to-end, from technical build and equipment installation through regulatory compliance, then hands a fully operational lab to the local clinic team for ongoing management. The Lab Launch Manager operates with high autonomy in ambiguity (Chase 10X, not 10%) and working closely with the regional clinic leadership, similar in scope and pace to how Giulio scaled lab openings. No direct reports initially; as the launch cadence grows, this role is expected to build a team underneath it.

#### What You'll Deliver in the First 6-12 Months

• Commission the first wave of labs in the UK and at least one of Germany, France, Italy, or Spain, on time and regulatory-compliant (Impact, not activity)

• Stand up a repeatable lab commissioning playbook covering technical build, equipment installation, and regulatory sign-off

• Build and manage relationships with key cross-functional stakeholders, including Sam Rodgers, without formal authority over them (Tech-enabled, human-centred)

• Hand off each commissioned lab cleanly to the local clinic team with documented operating procedures

#### Minimum Qualifications

• Demonstrated experience commissioning physical sites, labs, or clinical facilities end-to-end

• Working knowledge of regulatory compliance requirements for diagnostic or clinical lab environments

• Strong operational project management, able to run multiple concurrent site launches

• Proven stakeholder management without direct authority, including managing competing priorities

• Willingness to travel extensively and work flexibly across time zones and geographies

• AI fluency: uses AI tools to manage logistics, documentation, and compliance tracking with sound judgment

#### Preferred Qualifications

• Direct experience with Abbott or equivalent diagnostic lab equipment installation

• Background in fast-scaling healthcare, diagnostics, or life sciences operations

• Experience building a function from one launch to a repeatable, team-supported process
