Description
HEALF IS EUROPE'S FASTEST-GROWING COMPANY.
Number one on the FT1000, number one on the Sifted 100. From £1m to over £100m in under three years, with a small, talent-dense team and an electric culture with day one founder intensity. Now we're aiming for £1bn in the next three.
We curate the world's best wellbeing brands across The Four Pillars™: EAT, MOVE, MIND, SLEEP. That's the first chapter.
THE NEXT CHAPTER IS HARDER AND MORE INTERESTING.
We are moving from one market to many, from e-commerce to a technology platform, and from curating wellbeing to defining it. We are a health company, so we think we should act like one.
At its fullest expression, Healf redefines what wellbeing means for tens of millions of people.
FIND THE PEOPLE WHO CHANGE THE TRAJECTORY. BUILD THE SYSTEM THAT FINDS THEM.
It is Monday morning, and you already know which of the new starters is going to be exceptional.
You always know. In every team you have been part of, you could tell within a week who had more in their locker than their CV showed. You read people the way other people read the news, and nobody has ever paid you a penny for it.
Here is the role most people like you never think to want. It has the word talent near the centre of it, so it reads like a step sideways into HR. That instinct is wrong here, and expensively so. Every person who ever builds this company walks through one door, and you would stand beside it. You decide who comes in. Few seats let one person shape what the whole thing becomes this directly, and fewer still where the work is this human.
WHY THIS ROLE IS HEALF
The hardest thing Healf does is inference: reading early, noisy signal and predicting a human outcome before it is visible. Finding exceptional people is the same problem. The market waits for the proof, the badge that says someone is exceptional, and by then everyone is bidding for the same person. We read the qualities directly, before the stamp. This is not a recruiting seat. It is applied work on the most consequential capital Healf allocates: who is inside the building.
THE WORK
Three things. One is the heart of it, and the other two hang off it.
- Find exceptional people, and build the system that finds them. About half the role. We have mapped the talent pools where membership alone is a signal: people leaving the best companies in Europe, researchers who want to point their work at wellbeing, athletes in transition who already know what high performance feels like. You learn the pools, build relationships inside them, and bring forward the people the market has not noticed yet. And you build the engine, not one hire at a time: the proactive pipelines, the warm community a hiring manager draws from the moment a seat opens, the assessment that keeps the judgement consistent. You turn instinct into something repeatable.
- Help run how Healf performs. A quarter of the role. Healf runs on a quarterly cadence that ties what the company is trying to do to what each person is doing: priorities set, honest reflection, real conversations, progress checked in the open. You sit inside the small team that designs it and show up where performance gets built rather than hoped for: induction, goal-setting, calibration. The next cycle reaches every person this summer, and you help make it land.
- Help make Healf AI-native. The other quarter. RISE is Healf's programme to become AI-native, run day to day by Dhruv. You help take two hundred people from using AI to building with it, and watch closely for who is racing ahead. You help a whole company work at a level it could not before, and you become living proof of what an AI-native operator looks like this early in a career, which is rarer and more valuable than any title we could hand you.
Much of this you build. You would learn Claude Code in your first weeks and ship real tools: things that surface people and help us read potential consistently. The analyst doing this a decade ago had a
