Production Artist

About the role

OLIPOP is looking for a highly detail-oriented Production Artist to support packaging pilots, mechanical execution, file quality control, and final production delivery across our product portfolio. This role is critical to ensuring packaging designs are production-ready, color-accurate, and flawlessly executed from concept through print production. You'll work closely with the Senior Production Designer, designers, packaging partners, print vendors, and manufacturing teams to bring packaging to life, including hands-on involvement in pilots and press-adjacent workflows. This is an execution-focused role that requires strong technical expertise, precision, file discipline, and comfort working deep in production files. This is not primarily a concept design role. Success in this position depends on the ability to translate approved creative into accurate, vendor-ready mechanicals while maintaining OLIPOP's visual standards across SKUs, formats, substrates, and production partners. ABOUT YOU The ideal candidate is a highly technical, detail-obsessed production artist who enjoys the precision of packaging execution. You are comfortable working inside complex production files, catching small inconsistencies before they become expensive production issues, and managing multiple versions of similar artwork without losing track of details. You understand that great packaging production is both creative and operational: the artwork needs to look right, print correctly, meet vendor specifications, and remain consistent across every SKU and format. You're collaborative, organized, calm under tight timelines, and comfortable supporting a fast-moving brand with a growing product portfolio.

Responsibilities

• Packaging Production & Pilots
• Prepare, finalize, and release packaging mechanicals for print and production.
• Support the Senior Production Designer in day-to-day packaging production execution, mechanical updates, proof preparation, and vendor-ready file handoffs.
• Support packaging pilots and attend pilot runs or press-adjacent production events as needed, approximately 3-4 times per year; on-site travel required.
• Manage dielines, bleeds, trapping, overprint, and print-ready specifications.
• Support production updates across multiple SKUs, flavors, formats, and packaging versions while maintaining accuracy and consistency across the portfolio.
• Collaborate with vendors and printers to troubleshoot production issues in real time, escalating key issues to the Senior Production Designer as needed.
• Color Management
• Use INX Color to support color builds, separations, and print accuracy.
• Ensure brand color consistency across substrates, formats, vendors, and production methods.

Additional Information

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.
