Recipe Developer (Registered Dietitian)

This is a full-time recipe development role in Tokyo for the meal-management service おいしい健康. The role creates recipes for the service by proposing, testing, and developing dishes that meet prescribed nutritional values for different seasons and medical conditions. It also supports nutrition supervision and progress management for recipes commissioned from professional cooks and contributes to product development projects with major companies.

Additional responsibilities include proofreading and correcting cooking articles, selecting and creating recipe-post content for social media such as Instagram, and directing food photography. The work covers not only nutritional control but also taste, practical cooking steps, and the way recipes are expressed through photographs and written content, so that people with dietary restrictions can enjoy preparing and eating them.

Applicants must hold a registered dietitian qualification, have at least two years of professional experience, and have experience in recipe development. The posting seeks people who regularly research cooking information, try new recipes, and apply creative improvements. Interest in studying food styling and cooking photography, or practical experience in those areas, is requested. An interest in sharing information through social media is also required.

Experience providing nutrition counseling or health guidance at a hospital or health checkup center, and experience developing healthy recipes based on nutritional balance, are welcomed. The preferred working style includes independently learning about medical conditions and symptoms and applying that knowledge to recipes, taking on different challenges, and communicating effectively.

The role is connected to a health and medical food service with approximately 10,000 registered-dietitian-supervised recipes and coverage of more than 80 medical conditions and themes. The service supports patients and other users who may have restrictions such as limits on salt or fat, or difficulty chewing. The team includes registered dietitians, engineers, and designers, and also works with professional cooks on collaborative recipe projects.

The position offers a broad scope including recipe development, product development, nutrition counseling, creation of materials that explain nutrition information clearly, and photography direction. The posting states that remote work and core-time flextime are used, and that online interviews are available.
