Help us fuel every athlete’s dream.
At The Athlete’s FoodCoach, we’re building the next generation of AI-powered nutrition technology, proven in elite sport, now scaled to athletes everywhere. We’re a scale-up with elite proof behind us and a coach-led model built to scale: we turn every coach into a nutrition coach, so a fast-growing market of committed athletes can get elite-level fueling guidance. The AI nutritional expert for sports coaches, coaches set the goals, our platform delivers the daily plan that adapts to each athlete’s training.
How it works is deliberately simple: a coach sets the few nutrition priorities that matter for an athlete, and each priority becomes a concrete action point, one real change in what, when and how they eat. You’ll own the science and the content behind that structure. We assess the athlete and recommend the priorities and first action. The coach sets that week’s action with the athlete and coaches it. We guide. The coach coaches.
We’re looking for a Nutrition Expert who turns elite sports-science into simple, daily guidance any coach can deliver, and who is the face of our nutrition expertise to the outside world. You’ll shape our coach-led nutrition roadmap and work directly with the world’s leading nutrition and performance experts — the teams at Team Visma | Lease a Bike, Red Bull’s Athlete Performance Center and other top professional teams — making sure what we build holds up at the highest level, and translating it back to our team.
Our story
We believe the real difference in performance is made in daily nutrition. If athletes push themselves in the right direction and make every meal a little bit better than before, they will improve. Read our story here: https://www.theathletesfoodcoach.com/insights/coach/the-story-of-foodcoach
What you’ll do?
- Own and sharpen the nutrition engine: the priorities, actions and recommendations coaches deliver, calibrated to real training load, sport and goals. Push it further with real coach and athlete feedback.
- Analyse where nutrition can move performance most, across the whole engine, and translate it all the way to the coach, so the coach gets more impact from every athlete conversation.
- Safeguard the credibility of the product. Pressure-test the principle-based engine so what we ship holds up at the elite level.
- Work directly with the world’s leading nutrition and performance experts. The teams at Team Visma | Lease a Bike, Red Bull’s Athlete Performance Center and other top professional teams. Regular check-ins, co-creation and feedback that shape what we build, and translate it back to our team.
- Partner with our product and engineering team to turn nutrition insight into features athletes and coaches actually use.
- Be the external voice of FoodCoach nutrition expertise. Represent our approach to coaches, partners, media and the wider community, and build our authority in performance nutrition.
Your experience
- Background in sports nutrition, performance nutrition or dietetics.
- Real coaching experience in a sports environment: endurance, functional fitness, strength and conditioning, or similar. Across multiple sports is a real plus.
- A track record with competitive or elite athletes, and credible in a room with the world’s leading performance experts.
- A confident, articulate communicator, comfortable being the face of our expertise with partners, coaches and audiences, in the room and on a stage.
- You make the complex simple. You think in practical coaching guidance, not academic papers.
- Comfortable building live, under uncertainty, with a small team that moves fast.
- Opinionated and collaborative. A clear point of view, and the openness to sharpen it with others.
We care more about your mindset than your title.
Our environment
- Work directly with founders, engineers, performance experts and our credibility partners.
- Help set the nutrition foundation of a coach-led platform with global ambition. Proven in elite sport, now scaling to athletes everywhere.
- A data and content stack that is evolving. Open to your input on how we structure and scale nutrition knowledge.
