Operator Education Specialist, Launches
Full-time
New York, NY, USA
Mission
Neko is redefining what prevention means, from treating illness when it arrives, to sustaining health before it's ever at risk. Our mission: make data-driven, preventative care accessible to more people, before symptoms appear.
In a single, non-invasive visit under an hour, proprietary technology and direct clinical care combine to deliver personalised, actionable insights. It's a team that thinks in 10x, not 10%. Every role here plays a part in building a world where prevention is the norm, and where your work genuinely helps people live longer, healthier lives.
Neko Health is building a new kind of preventive health clinic, and every opening depends on a team that is trained and ready by day one. As Operator Launch Trainer, you will travel to each new site, train and sign off the operators, and leave a local educator partner behind.
About the role
Opening a clinic is when training matters most and is hardest to protect. This role is deliberately not tied to a market, so you can stay with a launch from the first training session through go-live. You will deliver the operator onboarding program to the global standard, assess readiness, and build the local educator partner.
What you will do
Deliver the operator onboarding program on site at each new clinic and market opening, across the full pre-launch window.
Teach and assess the clinical skills that sit alongside scanning, including phlebotomy and ECG.
Assess each operator against the global competency criteria and sign them off on each device, or extend where more time is needed.
Scan during Friends and Family and VIP sessions so trainees can shadow real member encounters and resolve quality gaps in real time.
Identify and train the local operator education partner during the launch.
Work as a pair with the Clinician Launch Trainer and give the Launch Manager an honest readiness position, flagging risks early.
Run a retrospective after each launch and feed what you learn into the clinic-opening playbook.
Requirements
Registered nurse or nurse practitioner with active, unrestricted licensure, and willingness to obtain licensure in each state or country where Neko opens.
5+ years of post-registration experience in a fast-paced, high-volume clinical setting.
3+ years performing phlebotomy and ECG, with the ability to teach and assess both.
3+ years training, onboarding, or mentoring clinical staff, including assessing competency and giving direct, constructive feedback.
2+ years running a training program or workstream to a fixed date and handing over cleanly.
Able to travel for most of your working time, including extended periods on site.
Adaptable, direct, and calm when a plan changes. You are comfortable with ambiguity, build relationships quickly, hold the standard under timeline pressure, and leave sites better set up than you found them.
Nice to have
Experience opening a clinic, site, or service, particularly in a new city or country.
Experience building a local trainer or educator from scratch.
Instructor certification in basic life support or phlebotomy, or multi-state licensure already held.
Experience with ultrasound or other device-based procedures where technique affects output quality.
