Stark Overview

Stark works with Orange County’s most prolific business leaders — CEOs, operators, and professionals — who carry significant responsibility and need their physiology to match it.

The focus is building systems that allow people to perform at a high level under pressure, with consistency across nutrition, training, recovery, and stress management.

The Role

We are hiring a Nutritionist / Performance Health Coach to work directly with clients inside a structured, data-driven health system.

You will:

• Guide clients on nutrition strategy aligned with performance, recovery, and long-term health
• Translate complex health data into simple, actionable behaviors
• Drive accountability and consistency, not just education
• Integrate nutrition into a broader system including training, sleep, stress, and recovery
• Work alongside advanced health care professionals who are experts in health optimization

This role blends nutrition expertise with behavior change and coaching.

Who This Is For

This role is a fit if you:

• Understand that nutrition extends beyond macros into behavior, identity, and consistency
• Can coach clients who are busy, stressed, and operating at a high level
• Prefer structured systems over improvisation
• Are comfortable holding clients accountable and driving follow-through
• Are interested in learning and applying tactics beyond nutrition

Who This Is NOT For

This role is not a fit if you:

• Focus primarily on meal plans or rigid protocols
• Avoid accountability or difficult conversations
• Want a purely clinical or research-only role
• Believe knowledge alone drives results

Qualifications

We are open to candidates with:

• Nutrition degrees, certifications, or relevant experience
• OR strong experience in health coaching / behavior change

More important than credentials:

• Ability to drive behavior change
• Strong communication and coaching presence
• Alignment with a structured, performance-based model

What We Provide

• A proven system — you won’t be building from scratch
• High-level clientele who are invested and committed
• Ongoing training in our performance health model
• Clear expectations and growth path

Why This Role Is Different

Most nutrition roles emphasize information delivery.

This role emphasizes execution, consistency, and real-world application.

Compensation

Hourly rate is based on experience, coaching ability, and alignment with Stark’s performance model:

• $25–$30/hour → Entry-level candidates with foundational knowledge and strong willingness to learn
• $30–$35/hour → Candidates who demonstrate solid communication skills and early-stage coaching ability

Compensation growth is tied to performance, consistency, and ability to drive measurable client outcomes.
