The Opportunity
We’re building something new for New York City’s independent drivers — the people who keep the city moving but are often left out of traditional healthcare systems. Together with the Independent Drivers Guild and the Welfare Benefit Fund (WBF), we launched the Healthy Living Program (WHLP) — a lifestyle medicine–informed program designed to help drivers live healthier, longer lives through food, movement, sleep, stress management, and community.
We’re looking for a Registered Dietitian (RD) who believes nutrition is not about restriction or perfection — but about empowerment, cultural relevance, and sustainable change. This role is for a dietitian who wants to move beyond one-off counseling sessions and instead help design, deliver, and scale a relationship-based, group-oriented nutrition model for an underserved workforce.
This isn’t a traditional outpatient dietitian role. You’ll be part of a small, interdisciplinary care team — including physicians, advanced practice clinicians, a health coach, social worker, and medical assistant — working across in-person, virtual, and community-based settings. You’ll lead nutrition-focused group visits, support six-month lifestyle medicine programs, and work closely with clinicians to integrate nutrition into chronic disease prevention and management.
Beyond direct care, you’ll help shape how nutrition shows up in the model itself — from curriculum and educational materials to workflows, patient engagement strategies, and digital tools. You’ll partner with Akido’s AI-powered platform to make nutrition care more accessible and personalized, while keeping the human connection front and center.
