About The Position

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. Neko Health is a Swedish healthcare technology company co-founded in 2018 by Hjalmar Nilsonne and Daniel Ek. Neko's vision is to shift healthcare from reactive treatment toward preventative health and early detection. This requires completely reimagining the patient's experience and incorporating the latest advances in sensors and AI. Neko Health has developed a new medical scanning technology concept to make it possible to do broad and non-invasive health data collection that is convenient and affordable for the public. The company is based in Stockholm, offering the Neko Body Scan experience at locations in Stockholm, London and Manchester, with over 500 employees. About the Creative Team At Neko, design is central to how our products are developed, experienced, and trusted.

Our ambition is to deliver a coherent, intentional, and seamless design journey across digital and physical environments — spanning product, space, and brand. Every touchpoint is designed to feel connected, considered, and purposeful, regardless of medium or channel. The Creative Department is structured around three closely collaborating studios: Architecture, Design, and Brand.

You will collaborate closely with architects, interior designers, PMs, marketing and production partners to develop concept-driven, cohesive physical brand experiences across our locations. From early concept development to delivery, you ensure that signage, wayfinding, comms and curated art are integral to the spatial narrative and support both functional clarity and emotional resonance. While production, final art files and execution are part of the role, the primary focus is concept, systems thinking and strategic design for physical environments .
