OUR TEAM

At Olipop our values lead the way we create our products, engage with each other, and interact with our community. While we're invested in our product, we're equally invested in 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.

What You'll Need

Working at a start-up can be as much a personal journey as it is a professional one. To succeed at a company like Olipop, you must be comfortable with failing, learning, and adapting. You need to be curious, optimistic, and able to find a way when it seems impossible. You must be confident enough to express your ideas but humble and open to learning from your experiences and from others. If this is the approach you take to life, then we'd love to hear from you.
