About the role
Since 2020, Sword has expanded across physical therapy, women’s health, cardiometabolic, and mental health, and is now moving beyond the session to a fully AI-native, 24/7 care program that brings physical activity, therapeutic exercise, psychotherapy, nutrition, and behavior change into one connected experience. More than 700,000 members across three continents have completed over 10 million AI sessions, helping 1,000+ enterprise clients avoid more than $1 billion in unnecessary healthcare costs. Backed by 42 clinical studies, 44+ patents, and more than $500 million raised from leading investors including Khosla Ventures, General Catalyst, and Founders Fund, Sword is defining a new standard for healthcare.
Sword Health is seeking a Registered Dietitian (RD) to join the Pulse business unit as a Health Specialist as part of our Clinical Operations team. In this remote role, you will support members managing cardiometabolic conditions — including hypertension, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and GLP-1 therapy — by delivering personalized nutrition guidance and lifestyle support through our AI care platform. Working alongside Phoenix, Sword's AI care specialist, and a multidisciplinary team of providers, you will help engage members in building sustainable habits across nutrition, movement, sleep, and behavioral health, while driving measurable improvements in their cardiometabolic outcomes.
This is a variable hours position with hours fluctuating between 25 and 40 hours per week. The role includes benefits and a variable compensation component above the base rate.
AI fluency is a core expectation at Sword Health. Every candidate is assessed against our three-level framework — be ready to share real examples of how AI is already part of how you work.
Explorer (Level 1) — Uses AI daily to boost personal productivity
Builder (Level 2) — Creates workflows and tools that elevate the whole team
Integrator (Level 3) — Embeds AI into products and processes at scale
Every hire must demonstrate at least Level 1. The expected level will vary depending on the seniority of the role.
