Lighting Design

Mission

Neko is redefining what prevention means, from treating illness when it arrives, to sustaining health before it's ever at risk. Our mission: make data-driven, preventative care accessible to more people, before symptoms appear.

In a single, non-invasive visit under an hour, proprietary technology and direct clinical care combine to deliver personalised, actionable insights. It's a team that thinks in 10x, not 10%. Every role here plays a part in building a world where prevention is the norm, and where your work genuinely helps people live longer, healthier lives.

Role Purpose

The Lighting Design Lead will own the development and stewardship of Neko Health’s global lighting design standards — shaping how lighting supports the member experience, clinical function, and architectural identity across every Neko location worldwide. Working within the Architecture Creative Leads team, this role sits at the intersection of lighting design, spatial experience, and product development.

Your primary focus is establishing a scalable, globally consistent lighting strategy that defines how every Neko space feels the moment someone walks in. You will develop lighting standards for the Location Design Playbook, drive lighting innovation for next-generation scanning environments and clinic typologies and provide concept-level creative guidance to regional design teams delivering projects globally.

This role reports to the Architecture Creative Studio Lead and partners closely with the Architecture Design Studio Leads for the US and Europe, the Industrial Design Lead, and cross-functional teams in Arts and Graphics, Hardware, Medical Excellence, and Operations.

What You’ll Deliver in the First 6–12 Months

• A comprehensive global lighting design standard is documented in the Location Design Playbook, covering all key clinic zones (scan rooms, consultation areas, waiting areas, circulation, and back-of-house) ready for regional teams to implement consistently.

• Concept-level lighting guidance on at least two active regional projects, ensuring alignment with Neko’s design direction and experience principles while respecting local conditions.

• Become a brand guardian for the lighting strategy, supporting Architecture Design Leads in the review and feedback of consultant documentation.

• Established strong relationships with key cross-functional partners (i.e. Hardware, Software, Medical Excellence, Operations, and external lighting consultants) so that lighting decisions are informed, collaborative, and technically sound.

Minimum Requirements

• Degree in Lighting Design, Architecture, Interior Design, or a related field.
