Vision

Mission

Challenge

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

On average, 20% of our lives are spent in poor health, costing the UK upwards&nbsp; of £100 billion* annually —more than half of what the NHS spends each year. At Thriva, our mission is to increase healthspan—the years we live in good health—so that we, both as individuals and as a society, can make the most of our present and future.&nbsp; &nbsp;At Thriva, we believe that proactive, preventative lifestyle approaches are essential to achieving this. But it can be hard to know where to start. We often don't have the information or support we need to optimise our health proactively.
 &nbsp;We want to take the guesswork out of managing health. We focus on putting quality health data in your hands and give you access to technology, innovation, and clinical expertise that makes interpreting this and knowing what action you should prioritise easy. *Analysis by Institute for Public Policy Research: Healthy Industry, Prosperous Economy 2024

A preventative approach

We go the extra mile to make sure customers are supported and cared for. &nbsp;We take the development and welfare of others seriously. And we take the time to share feedback regularly. &nbsp;We look after ourselves. We take time off when we need it, and we’re comfortable sharing if we’re struggling. The team can’t thrive if we’re not thriving&nbsp;

Truly Care

The motivation to improve trumps the need to be right.&nbsp;Strong opinions, weekly held. If we make a mistake, we look at what we could have done differently - before looking at external factors. &nbsp;We’re open in sharing learnings, mistakes, and shortcomings with others - to help us learn and grow.&nbsp;

Meet Our Team

<h3 dir="ltr">Meet our product team!</h3>
We have a small but mighty product team that works across both our direct to consumer and B2B products. Working in the healthcare space provides interesting product challenges but also great rewards when the products you build have a positive impact on the lives of our customers. We work very collaboratively with engineers, designers and product managers all getting very hands on about the experiences we’re building.
<h3 dir="ltr">Why work with us</h3>
You’ll be working alongside humble people who truly care about what we’re building and how it can help people.
We’re creating something entirely new and we don’t know everything. So we’re constantly trying new things to understand how we can improve people's lives. We set company goals which drives everything we do and helps us keep focus on building the most impactful features we can.&nbsp;
We’re trying to build a product that is safe, personalised and scalable to meet the needs of all our customers. That could be a large multinational company to an individual person. This means we have a lot of exciting opportunities for products and features we can build that can have a direct impact on people’s lives.
Our powerful B2B platform also powers our direct to consumer product. So we aim for all engineers to feel comfortable across all our products. Because of this, we design for simplicity and consistency. This also means you’ll have the chance to work with lots of different people from across the company on a range of challenging problems.
Startup life can be tough sometimes, so we like to bring as much fun as we can to the office!
