Why Work at Lose It!

    Compelling markets and technology: Lose It! is at the forefront of health and fitness, corporate wellness, machine learning, nutrigenomics and mobile and cloud computing.

    Our legacy of success: Our members have lost over 100 million pounds, but it didn't happen overnight and without hard work. Our founders were seasoned startup professionals; they'd taken a company public, sold companies to Macromedia and Microsoft, and raised capital from firms ranging from General Catalyst to Polaris to United Healthcare's Innovation Group. Now we enjoy the energy of a start-up culture but with the stability that comes from being acquired by a publicly traded company. When our members succeed, we succeed.

    Small team, deep and interesting challenges: We may be a small team (under 50 people total), but we're always pushing each other to be better at what we do, using problem-solving and creativity to get things done. Sometimes that means wearing different hats and learning new skills to get things done. Everyone takes responsibility for the overall success of the company.

    Professional growth opportunities: We encourage continuous learning through sponsoring employees to attend conferences and seminars to network, expand their knowledge and build their skillset. We also incorporate team building exercises to optimize how we work together as a team.

     

    This position may be performed anywhere in the Eastern United States except within the City of New York. 

    Lose It! is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive and equitable environment for all employees.
