Corporate Administrative Assistant (maternity cover)

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
It’s hard to eat healthy in today’s food environment, causing a global epidemic of poor health.

We are building a product that will change that with an approach we believe to be 10 times more effective - designed to help people lose weight and improve their metabolic health sustainably and enjoyably.

The idea is to make it simple to eat better, focusing on lifestyle interventions - not medication or surgery.

At its core, our product is being built on three fundamental pillars:

- A unique & proprietary food-effectiveness algorithm that calculates what foods are most effective for improving metabolic health.
- A food-love algorithm that suggests foods more likely to suit your tastes.
- A health score that shows you how metabolically healthy you are - and what to do about it.


Progress
- We built the largest keto and low-carb site in the world. Now it’s time to take our product to the next level.
- We’ve been 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 and have 60+ employees (20+ different nationalities).
- We're among the top-ranked nutrition websites in the world on Trustpilot (https://www.trustpilot.com/review/dietdoctor.com) and have strong Glassdoor (https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Diet-Doctor-Reviews-E2389502.htm) 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.

The challenge
For Diet Doctor to take the next step on its journey to empowering people everywhere to dramatically improve their health, we need amazing support functions to help increase the overall effectiveness and productivity of the entire team. That’s where an aspiring corporate administrative assistant comes into play.

This job is a maternity cover and fixed-term contract for 12 months. There may be an opportunity to extend the contract or for it to roll into a full-time employment.

- Meaningful relationships: Be part of a driven, ambitious, yet kind culture filled with people who want to do good in the world. We try to optimize our teams' happiness by keeping track of employee satisfaction (Officevibe), using a minimalist workflow process (Trello), minimizing meetings, and allowing for long uninterrupted blocks of work time.
