I quit medicine because I kept watching patients die needlessly, for avoidable reasons. In almost every case, the science and the clinicians were fine. It was the system around them that failed: the way information moved, the way decisions got routed, and the way fragmented teams and fragmented data turned solvable problems into tragedy. Our mission is human wellbeing, and we're focusing on the breakthrough technology of personalised medicine. Since the beginning, our proprietary insight has always been that the company to create a true active learning data engine with a loss function against human wellbeing would be the one to crack it, becoming one of the most impactful companies in the world as a result. We're now in 1,100+ clinics, across 4 product lines, serve >20% of the UK population, and have solved >5.7 million patient cases in the past 12 months alone, saving an estimated 8,600 lives. We are cash flow positive, growing fast, and have a tight crew of ~35 people. Multiple trillion-dollar companies will be built in healthcare over the next two decades, and we intend to be one of them. We have a knights of the round table culture with a flat hierarchy, where we empower builders to have outsized impact on millions of lives, and where we collaboratively converge on the optimal action without dogma or ego. We're all here to serve a greater mission than ourselves. The closest analogy for our culture is probably Firefly (the TV series): a small crew on a ship at the frontier, each person exceptional in a specific way, deeply loyal to each other and the mission, resourceful under constraints, and having a genuinely good time doing something that matters. We're carefully curated, lean, and wholeheartedly in. If you want your skills to be at the highest possible stakes, you belong at Anima. Your work here will save lives. - Shun
Who you are
The only thing that matters in this role is the outcome. No matter your background - from wickedly smart generalist to seasoned hiring professional - we’re interested in speaking to anyone who has reason to believe they can do the job. However, we think you’re most likely to be successful in this role if:
You have sourced and hired technical roles into a company with a high technical bar. - You have excellent written communication, and can write cold outbound that senior technical candidates actually reply to. - You have stood up and run a hiring function as a system, and know how to configure an ATS (for us, Ashby) with consistent stages, scorecards and interview plans. - You have experience closing senior candidates against competing offers. - You have selected and managed third-party search partners,. - You are comfortable with numbers and can create dashboards and reporting that will build the compounding hiring engine. # What we offer
We are exceptionally selective about who we hire at Anima. As a consequence, we are very generous with our team about the benefits we offer. Anima should be where you do your life’s very best work. - Salary: an exceptionally competitive base salary + variable on-target-earnings, based on candidates you successfully hire. We compensate talent like a sales role, because we think it is as important to hire A-graders here as it is in sales. - Equity: very meaningful equity, because every crew mate should share in the outcome of delivering personalised medicine. - Leave: 25 days + 8 UK public holidays, however we are very flexible with anyone who needs to take more time off during the year. We treat everyone like adults who know how to do their best work sustainably. - Parental leave: 12 weeks maternity at full pay (rising to 24 weeks after 2 years' tenure) and 4 weeks paternity at full pay, on top of any statutory entitlements. - Health: private health insurance covering medical, dental, vision and mental health, with most pre-existing conditions covered. - Pension: 4% employer pension contributions (Nest in the UK, Guideline 401(k) match in the US, local equivalent elsewhere) + full salary sacrifice offered, with 100% of NI savings passed to employees. - Learning budget: $1,000/year (or local equivalent) to spend on books, courses, conferences, or anything else that sharpens your craft. - Wellness: 50% subscription matching up to £50/month (e.g. gym), plus Cyclescheme in the UK. - Childcare: access to the UK workplace nursery scheme, saving up to 45% on nursery fees via pre-tax salary. - Remote setup: a high-spec MacBook plus budget for monitor, desk and chair — and up to £250/month for a co-working space if you're not near our office. - Hybrid work: a beautiful, modern office in Farringdon, with at least 2 days a week (preferably more) in person. - Offsites: at least 2 full-team offsites a year, plus smaller regional meet-ups and hackhouses. - UK visa sponsorship: the best talent is global, and we'll sponsor visas for exceptional candidates to live and work with us in the UK.
