Brand Manager (Integrated Marketing)
At OLIPOP, we’re on a mission to positively impact consumer health at scale through a new kind of soda: one that’s delicious, refreshing, and actually good for you. Our CEO and Co-Founder, Ben Goodwin, transformed his own health by rethinking nutrition and now leads a company that reimagines soda with 6 to 9 grams of fiber and 2 to 5 grams of sugar. Since 2018, OLIPOP has brought a functional, science-backed soda to shelves, reshaping culture and proving that business—and beverages—can be a force for good.
