About the job

We’re looking for a driven individual with an excellent command of written English. The daily tasks include searching for news, creating blog posts, related editorial work and daily publishing of blog posts.

• Love to work independently, and to get things done fast with consistently high quality, even at a high pace.
• Excellent ability to collaborate, be meticulous and flexible.
• A great capacity to learn quickly.
• You should preferably eat some sort of low-carb diet and believe in its ability to help people.

• Good Photoshop skills.
• Well informed about what constitutes a healthy diet.
• Capacity to handle work at a fast-growing startup company, where new tasks need to be taken care of, learning and development go quickly, and the work load at times can be tough.

Bonus traits

Here are a few examples of desirable bonus traits which would be helpful but are not required:

• Knowledge of theory of science, like what kinds of scientific studies can and cannot prove things (for example the fundamental difference between observational and intervention studies).

• Having worked with WordPress and/or HTML.
• Good knowledge/experience of social media.

About Diet Doctor

Diet Doctor is the world’s largest low-carb site, with around 250,000 daily visitors, 45,000 paying members and 20 full-time coworkers (about 40 when including freelancers) – almost doubling in size every year. We aim to keep our rapid growth up for as long as possible as this enables us to make a big positive impact in the world.

Our goal is to empower people everywhere to revolutionize their health – by making low carb simple.

We are funded by the people (through our optional membership), owned by those who work here, and – because we want to build a company that can do good for 100+ years – we’ve turned down every investment opportunity we’ve received from venture capitalists. Fortunately, with the amazing support of our members, we’ve been able to fund this growth with zero outside investments.

Diversity

Note that it’s important that you live up to the necessary traits mentioned above, so you’ll fit the position and fit in with the team. Otherwise we’re positive towards all kinds of diversity.

Conclusion

Our goal is to empower people everywhere to revolutionize their health, by making low carb simple. At least a billion people could benefit from eating fewer carbs, primarily but not exclusively people with obesity, type 2 diabetes and other problems related to metabolic syndrome. These people are currently not getting the support they deserve, and we aim to change that.

Could you be the right person for this job? Do you have the necessary qualifications we’re looking for? If you have any questions, please send an email to inger@dietdoctor.com.

1. Personal letter in English, up to one full page, explaining why you’re perfect for this job.
