Company Description

We're building a digital hospital for chronic conditions. It's not a wellness app. Our platform combines root cause medicine, AI, and world-class coaching to help patients understand, own, and reverse the conditions that slow them down.

What’s The Opportunity?

This is not a role where you hand over a meal plan and disappear. You will be the primary practitioner responsible for interpreting their biomarker data, identifying root cause, building a personalised protocol, and coaching them through lasting behaviour change. Your goal is simple and radical : help clients safely reduce or eliminate their dependence on medications by addressing the reason those medications exist.

What success looks like : A client who started with pre-diabetes, poor sleep, and elevated hsCRP managed on two medications is 6 months later, medication-free, with biomarkers in optimal range, and a fundamentally different relationship with their body. You made that happen.

Core Responsibilities

- Biomarker ownership : Analyse comprehensive labs (metabolic panels, hormones, inflammatory markers, micronutrients) and build a clear narrative for every client

- 1:1 coaching : Conduct regular, deep coaching sessions. Hold space for the psychological and behavioural dimensions of health (not just the clinical ones)

- Root-cause protocol design : Build and iterate personalised protocols spanning nutrition, sleep, movement, stress physiology, supplementation, and lifestyle grounded in the client's data, not a generic template

- Client education : Teach patients to understand their own biology. They should leave every session knowing more about themselves than when they arrived - not just what to do, but why

- Ongoing monitoring & adaptation : Track biomarker trends over time, adjust protocols in response to data, and proactively flag emerging risks before the client feels them

- Collaborative care : Work within our AI-first platform and alongside physicians when medications, specialist referrals, or advanced diagnostics are needed. Know your scope and operate within it ethically

- Protocol documentation : Maintain accurate, detailed records of each client's journey - data interpretations, protocol changes, client feedback, and outcomes.

Who Should Apply?

We are not looking for someone with the right resume. We are looking for someone with the right obsession.





Deep functional medicine knowledge : You understand the HPA axis, gut-brain connection, mitochondrial function, hormonal interplay, and inflammatory cascades and you can explain each to a sceptical CXO in three sentences

Biomarker fluency : You don't just read labs, you understand correlations and patterns. You know what it means when fasting insulin is 12 alongside elevated ferritin, low DHEA-S, and a disrupted cortisol curve

Elite communication & coaching : You can hold a room with a CEO, challenge gently, listen deeply, and translate complex science into clear, motivating insight. Coaching is a craft you've deliberately developed.

Evidence-informed rigour : You cite mechanisms. You update your views when data changes. You are sceptical of dogma, including the dogma inside functional medicine.

Credentials

- Certification in functional medicine (IFM, FMCN, A4M, AFMCP, or equivalent) with substantial functional medicine training

- Comfortable working in a digital-first environment - async communication, structured documentation, and AI-assisted workflows

Non-negotiables

You have to walk the talk : We hold our practitioners to the same standard we hold our clients. Health is not a side project here - it is a core professional credential.

Before your final offer, you will complete a comprehensive blood panel. We look for optimal (not just in-range) biomarkers. Body composition, metabolic health, inflammatory markers, hormonal balance.

We're not asking for perfection; we're asking for integrity. You cannot coach someone toward something you haven't meaningfully pursued yourself.

- Body fat benchmark (male): ≤18% body fat. Athletic range preferred.
- Body fat benchmark (female): ≤28% body fat. Athletic range preferred.
- Metabolic health: Fasting Insulin, HbA1c, lipids, and liver enzymes in optimal range
- Lifestyle alignment: You exercise consistently, sleep well, and can speak from lived experience

Selection Process





We aren't running a hiring funnel. We are looking for one specific kind of person - the high-performing practitioner who thinks like an entrepreneur. This process is designed to surface that person clearly.

Application review : We read every application carefully. We're not filtering for credentials alone.

Written case assessment : You'll receive a complex, anonymised client case — a real pattern we see — and submit a written analysis: your interpretation, protocol hypothesis, and coaching approach.

Structured interview : A deep conversation about your clinical thinking, your philosophy on root cause medicine, and how you handle difficult client dynamics (resistance, unrealistic expectations, medication questions).

Live coaching simulation : You'll conduct a mock coaching session - we're evaluating rapport, communication clarity, and real-time clinical reasoning.

- If you're looking for the security of a conventional job, this isn't it. We move fast, we hold high standards, and we expect you to own your outcomes

- If your practice is built on handing out supplement stacks and meal plans, this isn't for you. We need deep thinkers, not protocol dispensers

- If you're not genuinely curious about AI-augmented healthcare and excited to work within a technology-forward platform, you'll find our environment uncomfortable

- If you haven't meaningfully worked on your own health, you cannot credibly coach others on theirs

Core Values

- Customer first, always : Every protocol decision, every coaching response, every recommendation starts from what's right for this person, not what's convenient, conventional, or commercially motivated

- Evidence-informed, not evidence-limited : We honour the science and also acknowledge where the science hasn't caught up to clinical reality. We are rigorous and humble in equal measure

- Radical transparency : With clients about what we know and don't know. With each other about what's working and what isn't. No performing, no pretending

- Continuous learning : The functional medicine space evolves rapid. We expect our practitioners to evolve with it and we invest in making that happen
