Telehealth Registered Dietitian, RD

About the role

Found is transforming personalized weight care with an evidence-based platform that combines modern medicine, behavior change support, personalized coaching, and a supportive community. As an early part of Found's newest offering, you will own the expansion of RD services and personalized nutritional coaching for members with insurance primarily through synchronous consultations. You will conduct health assessments, manage lab screenings, and handle diagnosis management related to obesity while documenting and providing ongoing follow-up care. In this role, you will partner closely with prescribing clinicians to adapt care plans based on medication changes, weight-loss progress, and insurance coverage. You will use motivational interviewing, SMART goal-setting, and CBT-informed coaching to build patient self-efficacy and long-term lifestyle change. The position requires technological savvy, a commitment to lifelong learning, and independent practice experience in obesity medicine and telemedicine. You will practice with high standards of personal and professional integrity, ensuring confidentiality while coordinating care across Found's internal systems to develop long-term patient relationships.
