Join Hesta Health Limited as Operations Lead and help close the critical gap in women’s health. You will own the day-to-day delivery of clinical care, building the operational foundations to scale from hundreds to thousands of patients.
This is a rare chance to work alongside founders from Babylon and the WHO, combining analytical rigour with deep empathy to redefine how healthcare is delivered.
Role overview
You will own the end-to-end delivery of Hesta Health Limited’s postnatal service, managing clinician capacity, patient scheduling, and regulatory compliance. This hands-on role combines data-driven optimization with a deep obsession for patient experience. You’ll build scalable systems, ensure CQC excellence, and bridge the gap between clinical operations and business growth.
About Hesta Health Limited
Hesta is creating a new benchmark in women’s health, delivering exceptional care at every life stage. As we advance towards this goal, we are committed to closing the women’s health gap, beginning with pregnancy and postnatal as our initial focus. 75 million years of women’s lives are lost every year due to poor health or early death. This gap limits potential, drives inequality, and reflects a healthcare system that wasn’t built for women. We are changing that.
What you will do
- Manage daily service delivery, including patient onboarding, clinician scheduling, and real-time troubleshooting to ensure seamless, exceptional care.
- Build and scale operational systems by translating complex workflows into repeatable playbooks and collaborating with product teams on AI automation.
- Own operational metrics and regulatory compliance, maintaining CQC standards while using data to optimize appointment utilization and care coordination.
Who this is a fit for
- Proven experience (3+ years) managing complex, high-tempo operations in sectors like marketplaces, fintech, or logistics where real-time service delivery is critical.
- Analytical mindset with a track record of using data to diagnose root causes, run experiments, and drive measurable service improvements.
- Strong leadership and interpersonal skills, capable of coordinating a clinical workforce and handling sensitive patient issues with empathy and urgency.
Why this role is remarkable
- Join an elite founding team led by a former Airbnb MD/Babylon COO and a world-class OBGYN researcher to redefine postnatal care standards.
- High-impact opportunity at an early-stage startup that secured one of Europe’s largest pre-seed rounds in women’s health with backing from Eka and Ascension.
- Shape the operational backbone of an AI-native healthcare service that has already cared for hundreds of women and gained national press coverage.
