About Vitalic

We’re a HealthTech startup with a team and investors from NYC, Dubai, Stockholm, Copenhagen and Berlin. Now we’re looking for exceptional talent to join us on our journey.

We are on a mission to change how the world thinks about health and aging. The average lifespan in Europe is 81 years, whereas the average health span is only 65 years: Most people are sick for over 15 years before they die. Our mission is to close that gap. We are aiming to give people at least 10 more years of quality life. 

Aging is the main driver behind most common diseases and the cause for this gap between health and lifespan.

We enable people to slow down their intrinsic, cellular-level aging process in a scientific and behaviorally-effective way. The impact of this mission will be profound both on an individual as well as a societal level, saving billions in health care costs and giving people more time: More time to spend with their loved ones, more time to do what they love, more time in good health.

 

Your role – We challenge you!

You’d be joining us as one of the first key players in our team. If building things from scratch, tinkering and an obsession-like dedication to a higher purpose are your thing, we’d love to chat to you. We must warn you upfront, though. You won’t find tight structures and hierarchies, nor can you expect narrow job descriptions, clear processes or a monthly salary from day one. We’d expect you to come in and roll up your sleeves, be action-oriented, thrive in ambiguity, uncover opportunities to improve and learn, and most importantly, never give up. 

 

We can guarantee one thing: Your impact on Vitalic’s story will be tremendous.

Specifically, you’d be working side by side with our founder to pragmatically set strategies, targets and practically deliver on these. There will be opportunity, and expectations to drive fundraising, commercial workstreams and bring in new business.

Given the small organization and start-up-like environment, you’ll have to maintain control of diverse business operations, and execute quickly and pragmatically using 80/20 reasoning. 

While excellent people skills, work ethics and leadership are expected, the small organization requires you to not only lead, but practically drive the work forward towards continued sustainable growth.

We’re looking for a candidate that has an extraordinary ability as an energetic entrepreneur paired with logical reasoning and a rational approach. We’re looking for a results-driven approach to business, taking full responsibility for ensuring strategic vision translates into profitable operations, based on hard data and experience.

 

Responsibilities

  • Together with our founder drive expansion activities, fundraising, partnerships, etc.

  • Set comprehensive goals for performance and growth and execute on these practically

  • Design and drive business strategies, market fit and product/service development

  • Scaling the organization through new client sourcing and D2C sales

  • Build relationships with current and new partners and advisors

 

About You/What you need to succeed

Skills

  • Previous experience as co-founder from earlier start-up is meritorious (successful or unsuccessful does not matter)

  • At least 5 years’ experience from start/scale -up or business unit leadership 

  • Exceptional track record for scaling D2C organization or similar

  • Top-tier management consulting background or similar is a plus

 

Personality

  • Ready to roll up your sleeves, bias for action, and taking ownership

  • Bold and mission-driven, ready to face obstacles on the way to success - giving up is not an option

  • Obsession-like drive to help our customers, your teammates and society

  • Willing to learn, grow and work as a team

  • Pride in holding yourself to high standards and always striving to improve

 

What we offer

  • Be an integral part from the start of an exciting journey to positively impact the life of millions of people

  • Collaborate and learn from experienced colleagues and serial entrepreneurs 

  • Competitive compensation and equity through ESOP, rewarding good work is core to our beliefs

  • A growth-focused environment in which you can personally learn, develop and make an impact

  • A great place to work - we know this is a marathon and not a sprint, creating a company that puts employees first is crucial to build the best products for our customers

  • A remote first culture, giving people flexibility on how and where they want to live their lives, and how they perform at their best; Vitalic has been founded in Sweden, but hires across Europe
