Job Description

ABOUT US

OLIPOP was founded in 2017 by Ben Goodwin and David Lester. Ben and David have been working together for nearly a decade to find accessible solutions to bring the benefits of digestive health to as many consumers as possible.  OLIPOP is a deliciously refreshing tonic that is crafted with prebiotics, botanicals, and natural plant fiber to support your microbiome and benefit digestive health. We're on a mission to provide an affordable, delicious alternative to soda that delivers leading-edge health benefits to mainstream consumers.

OUR TEAM

Our team is a special bunch, with a unique way of working. We’re all fully remote, making us highly collaborative and resourceful. We share a mission to make the world a better place with a product that supports your health and is truly enjoyable. While we’re invested in our product, we’re equally invested in one another's personal development. We’re tightly knit, we’re genuine and we’re always pushing the envelope to do a better job than we did the day before.

At Olipop our values lead the way we create our products, engage with each other, and interact with our community.  Being a part of the OLIPOP team is about more than a career, and therefore we seek to recruit and include people with a diversity of abilities, backgrounds, and cultures to better serve our diverse community of customers.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

Startup is as much a personal journey as it is a professional one. We can teach you functional skills, but we can’t change how you view and interact with the world. To succeed at a company like this, you must be able to fail, learn, adapt, and fail again. You need to be able to keep going when others would likely give up. You need to be able to find a way when it seems impossible. You must be humble enough to learn and confident enough to express yourself. If this is how you’ve lived your life, if these are the lessons your lived experiences have taught you, then we’d love to hear from you.
