This full-time, mid-career role develops recipes for the company’s Oishi Kenko meal-management service. Work includes planning, testing and developing recipes that meet specified nutritional values for different seasons and medical conditions. The role also supports recipe development commissioned from professional chefs by checking nutritional requirements and coordinating progress.

Experience providing nutrition consultations or health guidance at a hospital or health examination center is welcomed. Experience developing healthy recipes based on nutritional balance is also welcomed. The preferred working style includes independently learning about disease conditions and symptoms and applying that knowledge to recipes, taking on different types of work, and communicating effectively.

The service contains approximately 10,000 recipes supervised by registered dietitians and supports meal suggestions for around 90 disease types or themes, with further expansion planned. The team works in a health and medical product environment with registered dietitians, engineers and designers. Its services include the Oishi Kenko nutrition-management app and the Kakaris meal-guidance solution for medical institutions.

The work location is Tokyo. Remote work and core-time flextime are used, and online interviews are available. The company describes itself as a startup with approximately 45 members.
