Head of SEO

About the Company

ORA is a house of consumer healthcare brands aiming to build a core shared technology and services layer. The core thesis here is that demographic-focused digital clinics can leverage a shared technology and services platform to provide a differentiated and comprehensive care experience for patients seeking care for a wide variety of conditions.

This business model has a number of advantages:

• ORA can create demographic-focused digital clinics that tailor conditions, services, and communications to the needs of specific groups.
• Shared core technology allows us to build features and integrations that benefit users across the whole portfolio.
• A house of brands allows more flexible capital allocation than individual brands. Meaning that while we are on the VC-backed growth rollercoaster, we have more optionality to allow individual brands to grow at the rate that is sustainable.

ORA has built 3 brands across 3 markets in less than 2 years and we’re ready to accelerate our growth. What has traditionally been a continuous improvement stream instead of BAU now needs to be developed into something more scalable, more sustainable and more structured.

Being practically unconstrained in the opportunities we can go after is core to ORA’ nature. While this is a great position to be in when everything is possible, prioritisation can become extremely challenging. Time is our most scarce resource and optionality is our biggest distraction. We need a sophisticated mechanism for identifying and evaluating new opportunities and then ruthlessly prioritizing them for execution.
