Medical Support Specialist - UK (Contractor)

About EucWe’re making good health last life a lifetimeMore than 1 billion people globally live with obesity — a major leading indicator of many preventable chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. Eucalyptus is the company behind “Juniper”, one of the world’s largest weight management programs combining GLP-1 medication with a tailored nutrition and exercise programme, supported by our multidisciplinary care team of prescribers, health coaches, dietitians, nurses and pharmacists. Our published clinical research demonstrates that our combined approach to weight management and lifestyle change means that our patients are 4x as likely to lose significant weight through their course of treatment with Juniper.Since launching, we’ve grown fast to support millions of patients. In 2024 alone…

• In the UK we grew from 5,000 to ~30,000 patients , received selective NICE endorsement for our holistic approach to obesity management, and grew our team from 45 to 165.
• Globally, grew revenue by >120% YoY, while reducing cash burned by 90% YoY and grew our valuation to >$500M USD, with over $100M USD raised from global investors such as BOND, NewView, Blackbird and Airtree - early backers of companies like Canva, Stripe and AirBnb.

What’s next?Since reaching over 60,000 patients globally through our weight management program, our goal in 2025 is to extend access to our core treatment program to over 100,000 patients, whilst launching into new conditions, demographics and geographies as we move towards our vision of creating a preventative healthcare ecosystem.
