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.
US employees receive ISO tax-advantaged options, up to the government-mandated limit, as long as we’re eligible to issue them.
💵 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 set based on our 409A valuation which is time-limited)
🗓 We make larger grants at 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.
Comprehensive coverage across Medical (Anthem), Dental (Guardian) and Vision (Guardian). Four tiers — Bronze (All), Silver (All), Gold (All, & NY Only) — with 100%+ of the Bronze tier employee cost for Healthcare, Vision & Dental covered by Omnea. Health Savings Account available with the high-deductible plans (Bronze & Silver). You’ll be enrolled on the 1st of the month following the month you join. (Benefit year Aug-Jul, subject to annual review)

Unlimited Discretionary (i.e. requires manager approval) PTO Policy). We know some people find unlimited policies daunting and don’t know how much to take, but if in doubt, you can look to our UK equivalent for a stake in the ground if you need a starting point!
Via Guideline (Safe Harbor plan). Eligible after 3 months. Omnea matches 100% of the first 1% and 50% of the next 5% of base salary you contribute, up to a 3.5% Omnea match.
$50,000 basic life via Guardian, included for every employee at no extra cost.
Pay for transit costs with pre-tax dollars, fully integrated with payroll, nothing extra to set up.

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.
💧 Mental health support (via Spill)
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.

\ we need to exclude some geographies for certain kinds of work for data & security reasons 😢*
If you live further from the NY office and come in 3 days a week:
25+ miles → $335/month
50+ miles → $670/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.

This page is a high-level summary for candidates. Specifics (eligibility windows, taxation, plan 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.
