The posting
I quit medicine because I kept watching patients die needlessly, for avoidable reasons. In almost every case, the medical knowledge and clinicians were there. It was the system that failed: the way information moved, decisions got routed, and fragmented teams and data turned solvable problems into tragedy.
I started Anima to change that.
Our mission is human wellbeing, and we believe personalised medicine will transform it. Our founding insight is that getting there requires a system that learns continuously from care and its outcomes, optimising for human wellbeing. Building that learning engine is the opportunity at the heart of Anima.
We're now in 1,000+ clinics across 5 product lines, serving more than 25% of the UK population. We are cash flow positive, growing fast, and have a tight crew of ~45 people who care deeply for each other and the mission. Everyone has real ownership and a voice in decisions.
Multiple trillion-dollar companies will be built in healthcare over the next two decades. We intend to be one of them.
If you want to work on problems where the stakes are high, you belong at Anima. Your work here will save lives.
