People Operations Generalist
About the role
About Olipop
At OLIPOP, we’re on a mission to positively impact consumer health at scale. And we’re doing it through something simple: soda. But not just any soda, a new kind of soda: one that’s delicious, refreshing, and actually good for you.
This mission is deeply personal for our CEO, Co-Founder, and Formulator, Ben Goodwin. Like many of us, Ben grew up consuming the Standard American Diet: lots of soda and processed foods that prioritized convenience over nutrition. But at 14, he took his health into his own hands. After making significant changes to his nutrition and exercise, he lost 50 pounds and saw a transformation in his energy, mood, and emotional clarity.
Those changes sparked a deep curiosity about the connection between nutrition and health. Ben became a relentless student of the gut microbiome and the ways it supports overall wellness. The more he discovered, the more passionate he became about finding credible, science-backed ways to make consumer health accessible to everyone.
The mission was clear. The vehicle? Less so. After exploring the possibilities, Ben landed on an unexpected yet familiar choice: soda. It was something he loved as a kid, and he knew millions shared that same nostalgia. But this wouldn’t be just any soda. With most Americans falling short on daily fiber, Ben set out to create a version with more fiber and less sugar, one that was perfectly balanced. The result? A deliciously refreshing soda with 6 to 9 grams of fiber and 2 to 5 grams of sugar, delivering science-backed benefits without sacrificing the classic taste people crave.
In 2018, the first OLIPOP cans hit the shelves, bringing Ben’s vision to life with a functional soda that anyone could enjoy. And by reimagining soda, we’re also reshaping culture. That means creating products that support health for all and building a business grounded in humanistic values: empathy, integrity, and a belief in better for everyone. From the ingredients we source to the culture we foster, we’re committed to proving that business (and beverage!) can be a force for good, and that soda has the power to bring people together.
So join us, and let’s write a new American soda story together. One we can all feel good about. One OLIPOP at a time.
The Role
OLIPOP is searching for a People Operations Generalist to join our team. You'll help run the day-to-day of the People Ops function as our generalist—running the core machinery (payroll, benefits, leaves of absence, worker's compensation, and HRIS management) with excellence, while partnering with People Team leadership to spot opportunities to improve it and helping bring those solutions to life. Working closely with the People Team, you'll help us stay ahead of what's next, all while demonstrating and championing our culture and values.
In this role, you'll focus on the "nuts and bolts" of People Operations, including but not limited to payroll, benefits, leaves of absence, worker's compensation, and HRIS management. This role will be a great fit if you're excited by work that makes a difference, you enjoy thinking critically and creatively to solve problems, and you take pride in building efficient processes that scale—and you'll have the support of a collaborative People Team and room to grow as the company does.
