An Industry Defining Company

Karoo is a venture-backed startup, immediately prior to Series A, on a mission to transform cardiovascular care. Our platform is designed to empower large provider groups and health systems to succeed in value-based care contracts with payers by improving patient outcomes and reducing cost of care through better coordination, analytics, and disease management. While our initial focus is cardiology, we are building a scalable operating system for managing complex conditions across the healthcare spectrum.

This is a rare opportunity to join a mission-driven founding team at a pivotal stage and help define the future of healthcare technology, with the power to improve the lives of patients with cardiovascular disease, the number one cause of death in America today.

The Role

Karoo is seeking to add a Part-Time Registered Dietitian as an important care team member to our clinical care team. The ideal candidate is skilled in evidence-based nutrition therapy, chronic disease management with an emphasis in cardiovascular disease, and motivational interviewing, with a strong interest in leveraging digital tools to improve patient engagement and outcomes.

As a key member of our care team, you will provide individualized nutrition counseling, contribute to care plan development, and collaborate closely with clinicians, nurses, social workers, and care team navigators to optimize cardiovascular risk reduction and promote long-term lifestyle change.

This role will start as Part-Time with a goal of growing to Full-Time as patient demand increases as we grow. (Target to FT is around 6-9 months from hire, but not guaranteed.)

What You'll Do

• Provide virtual medical nutrition therapy (MNT) for patients with cardiovascular and metabolic conditions (e.g., hypertension, hyperlipidemia, heart failure, diabetes, obesity).
• Conduct comprehensive nutrition assessments and develop individualized care plans aligned with evidence-based guidelines (AHA, ADA, etc.).
• Utilize telehealth platforms and electronic health records  to document care, monitor progress, and communicate with the care team.
• Educate and empower patients through goal-setting, behavior change strategies, and motivational interviewing.
• Collaborate with physicians, nurses, social workers, care navigators, and other care team members to deliver integrated cardiovascular care.
• Contribute to the development of nutrition education materials, group programs, and digital content.
• Track and report clinical outcomes and key performance indicators  (e.g., weight, blood pressure, lipid levels, A1C) to demonstrate program effectiveness.
• Stay current on clinical guidelines, telehealth best practices, and innovations in cardiovascular nutrition.
• Participate in regularly scheduled care team meetings and present nutrition-focused clinical presentations as needed.

What We're Looking For

• Current Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) credential through the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR)

• Experience providing care via telehealth and comfort with digital health platforms.
• Strong communication, empathy, and motivational interviewing skills.

Preferred

• Master’s Degree in Nutrition, Dietetics, or related field
• 5+ years of experience as a Registered Dietitian
• Experience working in value-based care or chronic care management setting
