Head of People & Talent

Want to challenge yourself at a high-growth startup and make a difference to people's lives? Join as the first person in our People team. We've already helped thousands of people with our innovative and accessible digital therapeutic products — now we're starting to develop our People team to continue building and running an exceptional team.

Why we exist

We're on a mission to unlock the power of the mind in healthcare.

The control centre of the body, your mind influences everything from temperature regulation to pain perception and emotional control, yet it's often overlooked by the healthcare system.

We're going to change that.

At Mindset Health, we're building hypnosis-based digital therapeutics (therapy apps) to help a billion people improve their health with their minds. Many misconceptions surround hypnosis, but there's extensive and robust evidence showing it's a powerful but underused therapeutic tool [1].

Think guided meditation, but developed by doctors and focused on health outcomes.

In less than two years, we've already helped 100,000+ people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (with our first single condition product, Nerva), and are backed by world-leading investors, including Y Combinator, James Beshara, Fifty Years and Giant Leap.

Now we're building out our team of Australia's best to help millions of people, and we're looking for the first person to join our People team to attract exceptional people and support them in pursuing outsized impacts.
