About Us
Nourish is on a mission to improve people’s health by making it easy to eat well. Nutrition-related chronic disease is the largest and most overlooked crisis in the world.

Nourish is building an AI-native, patient-friendly healthcare system centered on nutrition that improves outcomes, lowers costs, and helps people live healthier, longer lives. We launched three years ago, are live in all 50 states, and already have thousands of dietitians and hundreds of thousands of patients on the platform.
We are growing quickly, have partnered with national health insurance companies and provider groups, and have raised $115M from top-tier VCs including JP Morgan Growth Equity, Thrive Capital, Index Ventures, Y Combinator, Maverick Ventures, Box Group, Atomico, G Squared, and Pinegrove Venture Partners.

About the Role
This person will report into our Director of Revenue and Provider Network Strategy and work closely with our Revenue Cycle Management, Payer Strategy, Credentialing and Licensing, Clinical Operations, Engineering, and Legal teams. You'll be the connective tissue across all of them - translating regulatory complexity into clear recommendations, driving cross-functional implementation, and building the compliance infrastructure that lets Nourish grow with confidence.
This role is full-time and open to NYC-based candidates only (expectation to work in-person 3 days per week, with some remote flexibility). Our office is located in Gramercy.
Key Responsibilities
- Own Nourish compliance program end-to-end - from developing and maintaining compliance policies to running the regular reporting and monitoring that keeps us ahead of risk
- Drive compliance strategy for leadership - conduct gap analyses across processes and policies, identify areas of exposure, and bring clear, risk-calibrated recommendations to the table (not just "here's the problem")
- Lead cross-functional implementation of compliance initiatives - you'll be the one getting things done across teams, keeping stakeholders aligned, and making sure projects are completed on time
- Monitor compliance metrics and escalate proactively - build and track the dashboards and reporting that give leadership real-time visibility into compliance health, and flag trends before they become problems
We’d love to hear from you if:
- You have 5–7 years of experience in compliance, legal, strategy, or operations - ideally at a fast-paced healthcare startup, tech company, or consulting firm where you had to figure things out with limited resources and no playbook
- You're an exceptional operator - you run complex, cross-functional projects and never let things fall through the cracks
- You’re a strong communicator - you can distill complex information into crisp summaries and recommendations for leadership and cross-functional teams
- You're scrappy and have a bias for action - you don't need to be told what to do. You see the gaps, build the plan, and go execute it
- Healthcare or compliance experience is a plus - however, what matters most is strong business judgment, intellectual horsepower, and the drive to become the go-to expert on everything compliance at Nourish
