Preferred

• Experience working with athletes, coaches, military, tactical, or other high‑performance populations.

• Experience developing curriculum or educational programming.

• Experience collaborating with culinary or food service teams.

• Military service or experience supporting veteran populations.

• CSSD or other sports/performance nutrition certifications (or working toward them).

What You’ll Bring

• Passion for helping others improve through nutrition and education.

• Strong classroom presence with the ability to engage and inspire adult learners.

• Ability to translate complex nutrition concepts into practical, actionable strategies.

• Builder mindset with a willingness to develop new programs and improve existing ones.

• High level of ownership, accountability, and professionalism.

• Collaborative approach and comfort working across multiple disciplines.

• Alignment with UHP’s mission of helping individuals unlock their full potential.
