Operations Lead (Supply Chain), Germany

About Eucalyptus

We’re making good health last life a lifetime

More 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 the last 12 months we have…

Globally, grew revenue by >120% 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
Grew to over 100,000 monthly active patients globally across our weight management program
Grew from 5,000 to >50,000 patients in the UK in the last 12 months, and received selective NICE endorsement to provide service to the NHS

Our Germany business is the leading digital obesity clinic in the country and growing rapidly:

We have 5x’d our Germany business in the first 6 months of 2025, and by the end of the year we will support >25k patients per month
We have built the leading digital obesity clinic in Germany in <12 months with a core team of 6 FTEs
We operate like our own startup with complete P&L control, hiring autonomy, and a super lean, tight knit team of superstars jamming together to build to $250m+ ARR over the next 2 years
You will be one of the founding members of this team, helping to shape its growth and culture, and charting its path to becoming Germany’s largest digital healthcare company

What’s next?

Our goal for the next 3 years is to be supporting 1 million patients globally - live better for longer - by launching into new conditions, demographics and geographies as we move towards our vision of creating a preventative healthcare ecosystem.

We’re going to build Germany’s largest and best digital healthcare company. This will be really hard to do, but very rewarding and possibly, the adventure of a lifetime with some of the best operators you will ever work with. If that gets you excited, let’s talk.
