About the Opportunity
The WV Food Is Medicine Coalition Director provides strategic leadership, operational oversight, partnership development, and organizational direction to advance the Coalition’s mission of improving health outcomes and reducing healthcare costs through the sustained integration of nutrition-focused interventions into West Virginia’s healthcare system. The WV Food Is Medicine Coalition brings together partners across West Virginia to advance the integration of nutrition-focused interventions into healthcare and related systems. Through collaboration, advocacy, evidence, and local leadership, the Coalition seeks to create a more connected Food Is Medicine ecosystem in which access to nutritious food is recognized as an important component of health and well-being. The Coalition’s ultimate goal is a West Virginia where all people living with or at risk for food insecurity and chronic illness have reliable access to affordable, nutritious food that supports their health and well-being.
The position leads a collaborative, statewide network working to strengthen West Virginia’s Food Is Medicine ecosystem, align cross-sector efforts, and expand equitable access to nutritious food as part of health and healthcare. While statewide in scope, this position will make concerted effort to engage counties served by the CDC High Obesity Program grant.
The ideal candidate is a strategic and collaborative leader who can translate shared priorities into actionable plans, guide multiple workstreams, build and sustain cross-sector partnerships, and support effective governance and accountability. The Director should understand and value West Virginia’s communities, local leadership, and existing resources and approach the position with humility, respect, transparency, and a commitment to health equity.

Remote Assistant Food Service Director Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote assistant food service director job?
Target companies running distributed food service operations, such as contract food management firms, healthcare system networks, and corporate dining vendors with multi-site programs. Remote hiring managers screen for strong written communication, comfort with digital reporting tools, and the ability to manage vendor relationships and compliance tasks without in-person oversight. Demonstrating experience coordinating across locations or managing teams asynchronously gives candidates a clear edge.
Which companies hire remote assistant food service directors?
Remote assistant food service director roles are posted by every, SYNTEGON, and Shaner Hotel and others right now, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These tend to be contract food service management companies, healthcare nutrition networks, and large corporate dining operators running programs across multiple sites.
Can you get a remote assistant food service director job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level roles are harder to land because employers expect you to operate independently from day one without on-site supervision. Contract food management companies and multi-unit dining operators are most likely to consider candidates building experience. Showing proficiency with food service management software, digital inventory systems, and async reporting can substitute for direct supervisory experience early in your career.
Do you need a degree for remote assistant food service director jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers weigh demonstrated food service operations experience, certifications like ServSafe Manager, and a history of managing budgets or vendor contracts alongside or instead of a formal degree. What closes deals in remote hiring is a clear record of handling compliance, ordering, and team coordination without constant supervision, regardless of how you built those skills.
