The opportunity

Sensibly Sprouted is hiring a Registered Dietitian Manager to build and lead a team of dietitians providing outpatient Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT). You’ll play a central role in interviewing and selecting team members, coach their development, and shape how your team delivers care.

This is a developmental management role for dietitians ready to move into formal people leadership. Prior management experience is not required.

Internally, this position is called Junior Lead. You’ll report to the Chief Dietetics Officer and have management authority from day one. The broader leadership team will support you as you handle increasingly complex team, financial, and operational decisions. Your focus is team leadership; you may provide patient care when needed, but the role has no fixed caseload.
