Procurement & Logistics Specialist, Clinic Operations (US)

Job description

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. ROLE PURPOSE With FDA approval clearing the way for Neko's US clinic network and the NYC clinic launching in September, this role is the first dedicated procurement and logistics hire for US Clinic Operations.

The role holder will be responsible for ensuring the smooth functioning of day-to-day ordering, supplier coordination, and logistics workflows supporting clinic consumables, supplies, and operational materials. The ideal candidate will be hands-on, process-oriented, and comfortable working in a dynamic start-up environment, contributing to the establishment of foundational procurement processes for the US market. This role is designed to grow with the business: as the US clinic network scales post-FDA approval, there is potential for the role holder to learn and expand responsibilities into category management, supplier relationship management, and contract management.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS • 0–5 years of experience in procurement, logistics, supply chain, or a related operational role. • Understanding of procure-to-pay (P2P) workflows and operational procurement best practices. • Experience coordinating logistics and supply chain activities, ideally including domestic and international freight. • Proficiency in Microsoft 365. • Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail. • Strong written and verbal communication skills. • Self-starter attitude with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment. • Process-oriented mindset with a passion for continuous improvement.
