Job description

Kickoff is the only telehealth platform offering fully integrated nutrition and fitness coaching, covered by insurance. Full-time coaches earn $94,000–$140,000 annually after a 3–5 month ramp period, and Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) certifications are sponsored for qualified RDs.

Most clients have no out-of-pocket cost, which means fewer barriers to commitment and stronger long‑term retention. We're focused on driving real health outcomes: weight management, chronic disease support, behavior change. This is not a side hustle opportunity. This is a career.

ABOUT KICKOFF

Kickoff is the first and only platform to integrate nutrition, fitness, and wellness coaching to drive superior health outcomes for clients. Our mission is to increase access to high‑impact preventative healthcare, and we're looking for practitioners who want to be at the center of that transformation.

Our Registered Dietitians deliver whole‑person, preventative care, combining evidence‑based nutrition guidance with personalized fitness programming and wellness habit building. Nutrition is at the core of all we do, yet we attract entirely different types of clients than other RD practices and engage them in even more impactful coaching that improves all aspects of their health. Our practitioners set their own hours, delivering client outcomes while maintaining flexible schedules.

We’re focused on driving maximum health improvement for clients - it’s hard work but extremely rewarding. This is not a side hustle opportunity. This is a career.

WHY KICKOFF

Integrated Exercise & Nutrition Coaching

We're the only platform offering fully integrated exercise and nutrition coaching. Drive measurably better outcomes for your clients and expand your own clinical skillset. Our platform includes AI‑assisted fitness programming tools that make it straightforward to deliver personalized exercise plans, even if fitness isn't yet your primary area of expertise. And if you don't already have a CPT certification, we'll help you get one.

Real Earning Potential

Full‑time coaches should expect to earn $94,000–$140,000 annually (with part‑time coaches expecting proportional pay). This range is achievable for full‑time coaches following a 3 to 5 month ramp period. We're transparent about that, but the path is clear and your compensation grows with your performance and client panel.

We handle the full insurance credentialing and billing process on your behalf, so you can start seeing clients without the administrative lift that typically comes with building a telehealth practice. We're actively expanding our payer network, which means your accessible client pool grows over time. More payers, more covered clients, more opportunity to do the work that matters. We handle all client marketing and sourcing, and most clients have no out‑of‑pocket cost, which means fewer barriers to commitment and better long‑term retention.

Flexible Hours, Smarter Admin, More Time for Clients

Our platform, enhanced by AI‑assisted tools, reduces time spent on charting, care plan generation, and routine documentation. Billing, insurance credentialing, and scheduling are all handled. You focus on the clinical work, with entirely flexible hours that you set.

A Community Built for High Performers

Collaborate with a network of RDs and coaches who are serious about outcomes. Shape our product, programs, and clinical standards. This is a platform built with our practitioners, not just for them.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Deliver high‑impact nutrition and wellness coaching through structured telehealth video sessions
• Design and manage personalized nutrition, fitness, and wellness programs tailored to each client's goals and health profile.
• Own client accountability and results, driving measurable outcomes including weight management, chronic disease support, and behavior change, while maintaining strong long‑term retention.
• Build genuine coach‑client relationships through consistent touchpoints via our app, messaging, and async video.
• Contribute to a strong coaching culture: share what's working, push the product forward, and hold a high bar for care quality.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Active Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) or Registered Dietitian (RD) license with current CDR registration
• Strong emotional intelligence and demonstrated ability to engage, motivate, and retain clients, including those who are resistant or difficult to reach
• 1+ years of direct one‑on‑one client experience
• Genuine interest in fitness and exercise as part of comprehensive wellness care
• US‑based; fully remote eligible
• Availability to commit to a minimum of 15 client‑facing hours per week once fully ramped, with a preference for coaches who want to make Kickoff their primary professional role

NICE TO HAVE

• Current or previous Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) certification or equivalent experience
• Experience in telehealth, digital health platforms, or startup environments

DETAILS

• Compensation: $94,000–$140,000/year for full‑time RDs following ramp period; part‑time RDs can expect proportional pay range depending on hours

• Work Location: Fully Remote
• Required License: Registered Dietitian (active CDR)
