Head of Talent

Build the Future of Wellbeing Do Your Life’s Best Work

If modern wellbeing were redesigned from scratch, it wouldn’t live in a GP’s office or a cluttered supplement aisle. It would be digital-first, beautifully curated, and powered by data that actually helps people feel better.

That’s what we’re building at Healf
.

We sit at the intersection of curated wellbeing and health tech — combining world‑class products across EAT, MOVE, MIND, and SLEEP with personalised data through Healf Zone (our blood testing platform). Our mission is to make wellbeing simpler, smarter, and genuinely effective.

We’re 180 people
, £100m ARR
, one of the fastest-growing companies in the UK
, backed by Jam Jar, Iris Ventures, Active Partners and leading angels — and entering a major new phase of growth as we scale internationally and deepen our health tech ambition.

This is a serious role with real weight
.

Healf has grown fast with a deliberately lean team, strong founders, and high expectations. We’ve built solid early hiring foundations — but the business is now entering a phase where talent quality, judgement, and anticipation matter more than speed alone
.

We’re hiring a Head of Talent to fully own how we hire as complexity increases.

You won’t be starting from scratch — and you won’t be inheriting a finished machine.
You’ll be expected to take what exists, evolve it, and run hiring as a strategic discipline that scales with the company.

This role is demanding. The pace is high, priorities shift, and systems evolve in real time. You’ll often operate with imperfect information and be expected to make calls, stay hands‑on, and move fast — especially alongside founders who care deeply about outcomes.

If you want comfort and clarity before action, this won’t be right.
If you thrive in intensity, ownership, and ambiguity — it will be.

• End‑to‑end hiring strategy and execution across the company

• Personally leading senior, leadership, and business‑critical hires

• Evolving hiring systems so we scale without lowering the bar

• Partnering closely with founders and leaders on org design and future capability gaps

• Training and coaching hiring managers (especially first‑time leaders) to hire well

• Moving us from reactive hiring to building future talent benches

• Owning employer brand, candidate experience, and hiring culture

You’ll be measured on outcomes, not activity
.

This role is for someone who is deeply serious about talent
.

You’re likely someone who:

• Has 7+ years in high‑bar talent roles (in‑house, search, or both)

• Has helped scale a company to 300+ people

• Is obsessed with exceptional talent — you hunt for it, build relationships, and bring great people together

• Has strong judgement and clear taste for what “great” looks like

• Is comfortable staying hands‑on in lean, high‑expectation environments

• Thinks like an owner and operates with urgency

Our culture is grounded in The Healf Standard
:

• We Work Harder Than Anyone Else – We’re energised by building something meaningful, and we don’t shy away from intensity

• Never Settle – We push for better every day

• Obsession Over Talent – Curiosity, drive, and growth matter as much as ability

• The Healf Lifestyle – Wellbeing is a discipline that fuels performance

• Stronger Together – We own our lanes, but win as a team

This is not a low‑pressure environment — but it is a deeply motivating one for people who care about building something exceptional.

• Do your life’s best work in a role with real ownership and impact

• Be a builder — shape how a high‑growth company hires as it scales

• Work with ambitious, high‑performing people who raise the bar

• Wellbeing as performance — tools, habits, and data that help you sustain intensity

• Premium Wellhub Membership (gyms, yoga, fitness studios)

• 50% off Healf products + discounted Healf Zone testing

• Nest Pension

• Beautiful Hammersmith office with natural light

• Annual company offsite to reset and reconnect
