About Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus (or 'Euc' for short) is an Australian founded digital healthcare company that is on a mission to solve the world’s biggest healthcare challenges - think fertility, and behavioural change around chronic conditions such as weight loss, diabetes, and mental health.

Founded in Australia in 2019, we have now helped over 500K patients globally by combining technology, design and operational excellence to help patients access the best clinical support when they need it - wherever they are.

Our 5 clinics (Juniper, Pilot, Kin, Software, & Compound) focus heavily on personalising the experience for different demographics and are powered by a growing team across 5 countries (Australia, UK, Germany, Japan, and the Philippines).

We’ve raised over AUD$150M in funding from Aussie and Silicon Valley investors who were early backers of Uber, Canva and AirBnb. With plans to launch into several more markets, offline channels, and tackle new conditions.

We’re looking to continue building our team of executional weapons who are passionate about healthcare, aren’t afraid to work hard, and invest in others through direct and honest feedback. This approach enables us to make the most impactful changes to improve the health of millions of patients globally.

Eucalyptus operates one of Australia’s largest telehealth services. Across our 5 digital clinics, we work with multidisciplinary clinical teams to deliver primary and preventative care to patients across a range of conditions. The largest part of that clinical workforce is our prescribing practitioners: highly experienced and dedicated GPs, Doctors and Nurse Practitioners who are passionate about providing accessible and effective care to patients.

The Patient Operations function is responsible for every clinical touchpoint our patients have with our clinics. Within that function sits our Medical Operations (MedOps) team, who is responsible for managing a 100-person practitioner workforce to deliver 25,000 consults per month against our strict quality, reliability, efficiency and cost standards.

We are looking for an exceptional person to join this team. This role reports to the MedOps Operations Manager, and works directly with our Clinical and Medical Support teams to execute against an ambitious roadmap.

It’s a big job, with the opportunity to have an immediate impact on the accessibility and reliability of primary and preventative care for hundreds of thousands of Aussies.
