About Tangelo!

At Tangelo, we improve access to nutritious, delicious food for low-income families and those with chronic conditions. Our platform provides subsidized medically tailored meals and healthy grocery delivery at reduced or even free costs through partnerships with insurance companies, governments, universities, non-profits, and employers.

Working on the Operations Department

We are seeking a Nutrition Operations Dietitian with an active Registered Dietitian (RD) license that will be responsible for ensuring quality nutritional care for our members. While this is not a direct patient-facing role, it focuses heavily on reviewing member orders to ensure the correct meal prescriptions are aligned with medical conditions. You’ll support our operations team in delivering clinically appropriate food interventions by conducting systematic, evidence-based order reviews and supporting program-specific MNT sessions as needed.

A quick heads up: This is a part-time (minimum 20 hours/week, maximum 35 hours/week), contract role. There’s potential for it to convert into a longer-term opportunity. During the contract period, benefits won’t be available. We’re looking for someone who’s ready to jump in now and is excited about the possibility of growing with the team if the fit is right.

What You’ll Get to Do

• Report to the Senior Director, Clinical Operations.

• Participate in the development and maintenance of nutrition standards and health education materials for chronic conditions.

• Support Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) sessions for certain programs as needed.

• Collaborate with the fulfillment team to ensure prescribed food interventions are accurately translated into meal deliveries.

• Provide feedback and guidance to the internal team based on clinical assessments and nutrition best practices.

• Apply knowledge of food-drug interactions, cultural/religious dietary considerations, and ethical factors in assessing and guiding food prescriptions.

• Stay current with best practices and maintain all required credentials and certifications in dietetics.

What You’ll Bring to the Team

• Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition, Dietetics, or a related field from an accredited institution.

• Registered Dietitian credential and eligibility to practice dietetics in your geographic location.

• Strong understanding of clinical nutrition, especially related to chronic conditions.

• Experience working with electronic health records (EHRs) and delivering care or assessments via telehealth platforms.

• Detail-oriented with a strong ability to assess complex dietary needs in a systems-based setting.

• Previous experience in clinical review, nutrition operations, or healthtech environments preferred.

• Professional, compassionate communication and a collaborative, team-first mindset.
