Overview

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 very unique way of working. We’re all fully remote, which makes us all highly collaborative and resourceful. We share a singular mission to make the world a better place with a product that supports your health and is truly enjoyable. And 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.

THE ROLE

We’re looking for an innovative, concept-led Head of Creative who is excited about leading a multidisciplinary team focused on growing brand love for OLIPOP through emotional storytelling and breakthrough creative output. The role is responsible for driving creative excellence and collaboration across multiple projects, ensuring that the team delivers against the larger creative vision and objectives. A successful candidate has experience building and deepening relationships with internal team members and external partners (creative agencies, freelancers, photographers, producers, etc) and directing the work to ensure alignment with project expectations and brand standards. Equally important, we are looking for someone who will continue to build upon the culture that motivates the team to deliver creative excellence across everything we put out into the world.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

Humility, Aspiration, Commitment, Integrity, Empathy- our OLIPOP company values. Startup is as much a personal journey as it is a professional one. We can teach you functional skills, but we can’t change the way that you view and interact with the world. To succeed at a company like this, you need to 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 need to 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.
