Mission
At Neko Health, our mission is to deliver proactive healthcare for all—empowering members to take control of their health through cutting-edge technology and compassionate care.
Role Purpose
As Hospitality Program Lead, you will define, elevate, and scale the hospitality experience across Neko Health’s clinics and patient-facing teams globally. You will ensure our service standards, training programs, and cultural initiatives create consistently exceptional, human-centred experiences while supporting operational excellence and brand consistency.
This role blends strategic program leadership with cultural influence and operational execution. You will partner closely with senior leaders, clinic teams, and People functions to embed hospitality behaviours into the organisation’s DNA—ensuring every patient interaction reflects our commitment to proactive, compassionate healthcare.
What You’ll Deliver in the First 6–12 Months
· Launch and embed a global hospitality program framework, including standards, SOPs, training, and measurement tools that improve patient experience metrics across clinics (Member-first, always).
· Establish a scalable training program for all patient-facing roles, ensuring consistent adoption of hospitality standards across regions (Tech-enabled, human-centred).
· Implement a structured service audit and performance tracking system, delivering transparent scorecards that drive measurable improvements in service quality (Hard truths, high hopes).
· Strengthen organisational engagement with hospitality culture by embedding service behaviours into hiring, onboarding, and performance processes (Chase 10X, not 10%).
· Enable regional leaders with adaptable tools, playbooks, and frameworks that maintain global brand consistency while respecting local cultural and regulatory needs.
Minimum Qualifications
· 4+ years’ experience in hospitality, customer experience, or service excellence program leadership roles.
· Proven track record developing and implementing hospitality standards, training programs, and performance measurement frameworks.
· Demonstrated ability to influence senior stakeholders and drive cultural change across complex organisations.
· Strong leadership, facilitation, communication, and presentation skills.
· Experience managing multi-region or distributed teams and driving alignment across diverse stakeholders.
· Ability to analyse service performance data and translate insights into actionable improvements.
· High attention to detail, organisation, accountability, and a proactive mindset.
Preferred:
· Experience in healthcare, health-tech, or other regulated, service-intensive environments.
· Familiarity with change management frameworks and organisational development practices.
· Experience developing SOP frameworks that balance global consistency with regional flexibility.
· Experience building training programs using multiple methodologies (digital, in-person, toolkits, coaching).
· Comfort working in fast-scaling, mission-driven organisations.
