Job description

About Us: Future is building a personalized guidance system for lifelong health. We help people understand what to do next for their body, goals, and stage of life — then support them in turning those decisions into sustained behavior change. By combining AI, human expertise, personal health data, and accountability, Future helps members improve performance today while building the resilience, capacity, and healthspan they need for decades to come.

Future pairs each member with an expert coach who gets to know them, their goals, and their data, then builds a healthier life around all of it. We started in fitness, and we're now going further: a coaching-led health experience that brings together movement, nutrition, sleep and recovery, and leverages real clinical data to build precise, custom member protocols. Our offering is continuing to evolve and we're looking for coaches who want to help shape it.

Role Type: 1099 (independent contractor) Full-time

As a Health Coach, you'll own a caseload of members and guide each of them from their first day through their progress milestones. This is a partner role, not a prescriber role: you draw out what a member actually wants, meet them where they are, and help them build habits that last across nutrition, movement, sleep and stress. You'll coach through a mix of virtual face-to-face sessions and day-to-day messaging, and you'll use each member's data to make your guidance specific and personal. The members we serve expect high-touch, polished care, with the coach at the center of their experience.

Run virtual kickoff and check-in sessions, and support members between sessions over messaging that stays warm, timely, and clear.

Build personalized, data-informed plans. With the support of AI tooling, translate each member's goals and data into a plan across fitness, nutrition, sleep, and recovery, and adjust it as their life and results change.

Use motivational interviewing and reflective listening to help members find their own reasons for change and choose their own next step, rather than handing them a prescription.

Make the data useful. Track progress against goals your members helped set, and celebrate the behavior and consistency wins, not just the number on a scan.

Help build. Bring what you learn from members back to the team, and help us shape a program that's ever growing and evolving.

An active part of the community. Even though we're a virtual company, you show up: you join calls, contribute to projects, and share honest feedback that makes the team better.

Tech-savvy. You pick up new tools quickly and are comfortable working across apps, data, and platforms all day.

NBC-HWC (National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach) — full board certification through the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching is required. This is our core standard for behavior-change theory, motivational interviewing, reflective listening, and coaching scope of practice.

• ~ An associate's degree or higher (or an equivalent, experience-based path to your coaching certification).
• ~2+ years of client-facing coaching or training experience. You adapt your style to meet members of different ages, backgrounds, cultures, abilities, and health starting points, and every one of them feels respected and understood.
• ~ Much of your coaching happens over messaging, so you're warm, clear, and personable on the page while staying professional.
• ~ You also coach face-to-face over video, and you bring confidence, thoughtfulness and professionalism into every session.
• ~ Comfortable synthesizing health data. You keep up with current health trends and have a track record of coaching clients across nutrition apps and wearable devices, bringing their data together into a single comprehensive plan.
