At Cherub, we are working on improving the way that prescriptions are managed in a meaningful way by integrating with and streamlining clinicians’ workflows around prescribing and medicines optimisation.

We are still a small team, and whoever comes on board will have the opportunity to make a significant impact on what we are doing in the long term. Having recently been backed by a tier 1 VC, we are excited to start growing our team.
