Founding Data Scientist

Berry Street is a business-in-a-box platform enabling registered dietitians to start and scale private practices that accept health insurance. We provide all of the software needed to run a thriving practice + administrative services like insurance contracting, eligibility verification, customer support, claims billing, and even patient acquisition.

The Opportunity:

Berry Street is tackling America's most comprehensive health crisis: food. More than half of Americans are struggling with their relationship with food, are clinically overweight, or suffer from a chronic condition linked to their diet.

Nutrition therapy is clinically proven to make a difference, and most commercial health insurance plans cover it at $0 out-of-pocket. Berry Street empowers registered dietitians to launch and grow in-network private practices. We're creating game-changing technology to build America's largest dietitian network and ensure that anyone can access the help they need.

Since launching in January 2023, we've grown to over 1,000 providers on our platform and tens of thousands of patients served, across all 50 states. We're a Series B company, and we're looking for future Digital Health leaders to help us build our next chapter.
