Business Operations Lead, Australia
Eucalyptus
Society has changed but the healthcare system hasn’t. The evidence is undeniable – long wait times, rising out-of-pocket costs, inefficient systems, out-of-date attitudes, issues of access, the list goes on. Clearly, the system is failing us, so we’ve decided to fix it.
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$160M 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.
What’s Next?

To continue supporting patients we are building teams who are passionate about healthcare, willing to work hard and sweat the details, and committed to investing in others through direct and honest feedback.
