Our compensation philosophy is grounded in meritocracy. We operate geo-localised, annually benchmarked, market-based levelled bands targeting a competitive percentile of market rate for our stage and location.
We base compensation on merit, performance, and levelling — not tenure, vibes, negotiation ability, or anything else!
Structured annual performance reviews run in H2 each year to recognise progression and set you up to succeed in your career at Omnea.
Every Omnean receives equity options, so the people building the company share in the value they create. We work hard to lock in as much benefit for you as we’re able to!
UK employees receive EMI or CSOP tax-advantaged options (depending on our eligibility at the time*) up to the government-mandated limit. We will aim for EMI wherever possible, but if we can’t do EMI, we will then aim to do CSOP. It’s not possible for us to guarantee EMI due to legal constraints and factors outside our control.
💷 Strike price Usually a very significant discount to the latest fundraising valuation (NB: we cannot guarantee a strike price until just prior to grant as these are agreed with HMRC for a short period)
🗓 We make larger grants favourable tax-advantaged rates by having a 5-year vest with an 18-month cliff. Tax benefits and strike prices lock in at grant so we try to secure you more equity, earlier, whilst there’s more upside.

We keep things deliberately simple: a small number of meaningful benefits that cover the important stuff.
Paid pre-tax in your monthly payslip; no receipts, no approvals. Spend it on whatever helps you feel healthier and happier: private healthcare, gym, therapy, wearables, ISA, pension, massage & recovery, or anything else. Next reviewed on 30 June 2027.
33 days per year (including bank holidays), plus +1 day for every full year of service (up to +5), with up to 5 days rollover into the following year.
Smart Pension, a Net Pay Arrangement (full tax relief at source, no self-assessment needed). Auto-enrolled after 3 months. Omnea contributes 3% of banded qualifying earnings when you contribute at least 5% of banded qualifying earnings.
via Enjoy Benefits — up to £2,500 on a bike (standard, e-bike, folding) and accessories through salary sacrifice over 12 months.
20% off memberships and class packs at the gym downstairs from the London office.

\ if such a case arises where it is not legally possible to do either EMI or CSOP schemes, UK options will be non-tax advantaged but at a nominal (fraction of a penny) strike price.*

Build with us for 5 years, and we have a fund where you can pitch for $250k of pre-seed super-angel cheques. And of course, @Ben Freeman, @Abhirukt Sapru, @Sabrina Castiglione & the rest of the Omnea Leadership Team will help you craft your pitch and proposition. Alongside capital, our founders will receive office space, operational support and ongoing coaching from Omnea’s executive team.
Video therapy sessions with qualified counsellors, text-based support, a self-help library, and 24/7 crisis support. Completely confidential — Omnea can't see who uses it or what's discussed.
Option to apply for up to 5 a year, separate from your annual leave.
At least 2 weeks standard per rolling calendar year, with special cases considered separately
Primary caregiver: 4 weeks fully paid per year of service — minimum 6 weeks, maximum 20 weeks (inclusive of statutory entitlement)
Secondary caregiver: 2 weeks fully paid per year of service — minimum 3 weeks, maximum 20 weeks (inclusive of statutory entitlement)
After your 3rd month, 1 week per quarter, increasing to 2 weeks per quarter in your second year.
\ we need to exclude some geographies for certain kinds of work for data & security reasons 😢*
If you live further from the London office and come in 3 days a week:
25+ miles → £250/month
50+ miles → £500/month
Paid directly in your monthly payslip (taxable) — no receipts, no expense claims.
Every Wednesday at 1pm the whole team comes together for a company-funded lunch. One of our favourite Omnea traditions.

Restocked weekly. Have a favourite? Let us know.
Plus bigger quarterly events — including two smaller socials and our legendary Summer Party and Winter Holiday Party

This page is a high-level summary for candidates. Specifics (eligibility windows, taxation, scheme details) are confirmed at the offer stage and in our employment documentation.
All benefits over those that are statutory in a given region are legally non-contractual and subject to regular review.
Please note: all annual leave requires manager approval, and we usually ask that anyone involved in sales deals (GTM & AM teams, Legal, Product Leadership) refrain from taking annual leave in the most intense 2 weeks of the quarter (usually the last two) except in exceptional circumstances.
