Think about the last time someone actually listened while you talked through a habit you couldn't shake. Really listened, not just waited for their turn to talk. That's what this role asks of you, over and over, for people trying to eat better and actually enjoy their meals again.
The Short Version
You'll work one-on-one with clients on nutrition — not rigid meal plans handed down from on high, but coaching that fits into their actual lives. Busy weeks, family dinners, the occasional slice of pizza that doesn't need to derail anything. The role is fully remote, pays $65,000 a year, and gives you real say over how your days are structured.
Where You'll Spend Your Time
- Hold regular video sessions with clients to check progress and adjust their plan
- Design nutrition approaches around each client's real routine, not a generic template
- Reply to client messages between sessions, quickly and without judgment
- Review tracking data to spot when something isn't working and needs a change
- Share practical recipes and small strategies that make healthy eating stick
- Take part in team meetings to trade coaching approaches with colleagues
Baseline Requirements
You'll need a
high school diploma or equivalent — this role is built around coaching skill more than a specific credential. Alongside that, plan on having
at least 1 year of experience in coaching, teaching, or another client-facing field.
- High school diploma or equivalent
- Minimum 1 year of experience coaching, teaching, or working directly with clients
- Practical understanding of nutrition principles that hold up in everyday situations
- Comfortable using video calls, messaging platforms, and progress-tracking apps daily
- Strong listening skills — able to notice the real concern underneath what someone says
- Patience for clients who've tried multiple approaches before and are skeptical this one will help
What Gives You an Edge
- A background in personal training, sports coaching, or hospitality
- Formal nutrition training or a recognized health coaching certification
- Prior experience coaching clients remotely across different regions
- A talent for making nutrition concepts easy to understand without sounding clinical
How a Typical Day Unfolds
Most days open with a client call — sometimes a quick win to celebrate, sometimes a rough week to talk through. Midday tends to bring check-ins on progress logs and a message or two of encouragement. Afternoons might shift toward internal work, like giving feedback on the team's coaching tools. By evening, you're usually reviewing a tracker and adjusting a plan before the next session. The order changes daily — you build your own rhythm around it.
Compensation and Perks
- $65,000 annual salary
- Full flexibility to set your own working hours
- Growing library of coaching resources and client-ready materials
- Continued training and skill development throughout your time here
- A team that stays genuinely connected, not just reachable
The People Who Do Well in This Role
Strong coaches on this team have come from personal training, teaching, hospitality, and counseling backgrounds — there's no single path in. What tends to matter is being naturally good with people and able to talk about food without sounding like a lecture. Naukri Mitra has placed coaches in this kind of role who worried that remote work would feel less personal than in-person coaching, only to find the opposite: staying connected to a client's actual week, rather than to a one-hour gym session, often builds a stronger relationship.
Support You Can Expect
Nobody hands you a client list on day one and disappears. Training starts immediately and covers the coaching approach, tools, and client systems you'll use. You'll have access to shared resources, regular team meetups, and ongoing opportunities to sharpen your coaching skills as you go.
The Honest Challenges
Some clients arrive discouraged, having already tried several approaches without lasting results. Meeting them where they are, rather than pushing a plan they're not ready for, takes real patience and a bit of creativity. Remote work also demands discipline — there's no supervisor checking in physically, so managing your own time and staying organized falls on you, even with a supportive team behind you.
How to Apply
If helping people build a healthier, more sustainable relationship with food sounds like meaningful work to you, this role is worth applying for. Candidates from a wide range of countries are welcome, and applications are reviewed as they come in.
