Job description
Remote status: Fully remote
This is a full-time remote position within 0-2 hours of Stockholm (CET). You are of course welcome to work in our lovely offices in the heart of Stockholm.

Are you someone who wants to make the world a better place, who is not content to work for yet another company the world doesn't need?

Our mission
At Diet Doctor, we are a health company that aims to empower people everywhere to dramatically improve their health. We focus on lifestyle interventions — not medication or surgery.
What are the important components of a healthy lifestyle for those with obesity or type 2 diabetes? How can people implement this lifestyle in a sustainable way?
Currently, no major health organization in the world has an effective answer. We aim to change that.

Progress
● We’re fully funded by our members, which means we don't need to show any ads or sell any physical products.
● We attract about 5 million monthly visits, have 73,000+ paying members, and 60+ employees (from 20+ different nationalities).
● We're among the top 5 nutrition websites in the world ranked on Trustpilot, and have strong Glassdoor ratings.

Our culture
At Diet Doctor, we aim to always align our work with our four company values: trustworthiness, simplicity, inspiration, and goodness.
Our goal is to make the world a better place by empowering people everywhere to dramatically improve their health.
We believe building a team of top performers — who live by our values and get great things done fast — will significantly increase our ability to make rapid progress toward our purpose.

That’s why we're passionate about building a world-class team. Few things in life are as exciting and rewarding as working toward meaningful change alongside other like-minded people.
