About WeightWatchers
WeightWatchers (WW) is a science-backed weight management program that helps individuals achieve sustainable health goals through nutrition, activity, and behavior change. Within our Science and Program Innovation team, we collaborate cross-functionally to continuously develop, implement, and evaluate our behavioral programs to ensure effectiveness. WW uses a Points system, assigning values to foods based on their nutritional content to encourage healthier choices while allowing flexibility. The program also includes ZeroPoint foods, which are the cornerstone of healthy eating and don't need to be measured or tracked, supporting sustainable balanced eating habits. Beyond general weight management, WW offers specialized programs: A general behavioral weight management program designed for sustainable weight loss, a diabetes-specific program tailored to help individuals manage blood sugar levels while achieving a healthy weight, and a program for individuals on GLP-1 medications, focusing on nutrition and behavior strategies to complement medical treatment. We also offer medical weight management services, including access to registered dietitians and fitness specialists. WW integrates evidence-based behavioral strategies, such as goal-setting, habit formation, and mindfulness, to drive long-term success. The WW app provides personalized meal and activity tracking, expert coaching, and digital tools for ongoing support. By combining cutting-edge research with practical, real-life solutions, WeightWatchers empowers individuals to build lasting, healthy habits that fit their lifestyles.
Why You Should Connect!
We can offer guidance on making the transition from academia to industry, sharing insights on how to leverage research experience in a corporate setting. Having navigated this path myself, I can provide practical advice on skill translation, networking, and career development. Additionally, we are looking for research assistants and interns with experience in clinical research to support our clinical trials. Ideal candidates should be able to commit at least 15 hours per week and work with us for at least six months, though a one-year or longer commitment is preferred. This is a great opportunity to gain hands-on industry experience, contribute to meaningful research, and develop skills in a real-world clinical setting.
