How we work

We may be fully remote, but we’re anything but disconnected. OLIPOP has grown from a few passionate people around a table to a nationwide team, and we’ve done it without losing our collaborative spirit or sense of purpose.

What we value

• Mission Connectivity: Everything we do ladders up to our shared goal: supporting human health.
• Indomitable Spirit: When things get messy, we get inventive. We stay curious, adapt quickly, and find the path forward, most likely with a dedicated Slack thread and a beautifully overbuilt deck.
• Lead at Every Level: Leadership isn't about titles, it's about ownership. We speak up, follow through, and lift each other up. If you've got ideas and initiative, you've got influence.
• Courageous Humility: We're confident in what we bring and curious about what we don't know (yet). We give feedback with care, take it with grace, and know that real growth takes both.

What we're looking for

Success at OLIPOP doesn't come from checking boxes; it comes from living our values, staying curious, and finding energy in both the pace and the purpose. We're building something big, and we're looking for people who:

• Think big, move fast, and take thoughtful risks.
• Thrive in a high-performance, feedback-rich environment.
• Value real human connection and honest collaboration.
• Are fired up by building something new, and making it better every day.
