Food Service Systems Nutritionist (Hopkins Dining)

We are seeking a Food Service Systems Nutritionist  who will support the accuracy, consistency, and maintenance of nutrition, ingredient, recipe, allergen, and menu data used throughout Hopkins Dining.

- Coordinate with culinary and procurement teams to obtain and maintain manufacturer specifications, nutrition information, allergen statements, and other source documentation.
- Support recipe standardization, recipe version control, menu cycle updates, ingredient substitutions, and other system changes that affect nutrition or allergen information.
- Maintain the nutrition data used in digital menus, websites, mobile platforms, and printed materials in coordination with Food Service Systems and Dining communications teams.
- Develop and maintain data-entry procedures, checklists, reporting, and quality-assurance processes for nutrition and recipe information.
- Generate reports, troubleshoot nutrition or recipe data issues, and provide training to designated staff on Jamix workflows and data standards.
