Head of PR

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
Diet Doctor (DD) was founded by Andreas Eenfeldt (M.D.) with the long-term goal of empowering people everywhere to dramatically improve their health. More than one billion people suffer from health issues related to type 2 diabetes and obesity, for which they're often personally blamed and rarely given the support they deserve. We aim to change that.

We’re fully funded by our members, so we don't need to show any ads, sell any products, or take any industry money. This also means that we have zero external investors, and are instead owned by the 50+ people who work here. We offer all employees the possibility to acquire a stake in the company every six months.

What have we achieved so far?
- We've been profitability for years, are self-funded, have no VC investment, and lots of cash in the bank.
- We're the largest keto and low-carb site in the world.
- We attract about 9 million monthly visits, have 77 000 paying members and 50+ employees.
- We're the top ranked nutrition website 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.

For Diet Doctor to take the next step on our journey, we want to increase people's trust in us and build an employer brand that will help us recruit even more of the best people in the world.
