About Food Ease Nutrition Counseling
Food Ease provides compassionate, size-inclusive nutrition counseling to help clients build healthier relationships with food. We prioritize accessibility, body positivity, and evidence-based care in the Santa Cruz community and beyond. As we grow, we’re looking for a dynamic Business Manager to support operations, client relations, and local brand awareness.
Role Overview
You’ll be the right-hand person to the founder, handling admin, scheduling, client communication, and local outreach. If you’re organized, love connecting with people, and want to help grow a wellness business in Santa Cruz, this is for you!
Key Responsibilities
✅ Operations & Admin
- Manage client scheduling, intake, and follow-ups (via EHR/platforms like Healthie or SimplePractice).
- Handle emails, invoices, and basic bookkeeping (experience with QuickBooks or similar a plus).
- Streamline systems to improve efficiency.
✅ Client Experience & Outreach
- Serve as the friendly first point of contact for clients (emails, calls, onboarding).
- Support client acquisition through local partnerships, referrals, and community engagement.
- Collaborate with Santa Cruz businesses (studios, clinics, etc.) for cross-promotion.
✅ Marketing & Brand Growth
- Assist with social media planning (Instagram, newsletters) to boost visibility.
- Help develop brand awareness campaigns (e.g., workshops, local events).
- Ideal if you have graphic design (Canva) or copywriting skills!
✅ Bonus Skills
- Experience in healthcare, wellness, or HAES (Health at Every Size) spaces.
- Comfort in a client-facing role (nutrition, therapy, or retail/service background great!).
- Passion for body liberation, intuitive eating, or anti-diet culture.
You’d Thrive Here If You…
- Are a self-starter who loves building systems and solving problems.
- Enjoy blending behind-the-scenes logistics with creative outreach.
- Want to grow with a small business (this role could expand!).
Logistics
- Mostly remote, but must be based in/near Santa Cruz or willing to commute 1x/week.
- Flexible hours, but some availability during 9am–5pm PST weekdays preferred, weekends and evenings work too!

Send a resume and brief note explaining:
- Why you’re excited about Food Ease’s mission.
