ABOUT WIP

Wip™ delivers a better energy experience. Period. We create smart, portable formats that provide a powerful boost without the baggage of traditional energy products. Our team sits at the intersection of science, design, and consumer culture. We bring together innovation, intention, and scale to unlock new energy rituals and meet people wherever they go - training, creating, commuting, or grinding through a shift.

We are building a brand that moves with people – and fuels their days.

Our Opportunity

The $120B+ U.S. caffeine market is massive and stagnant – dominated by outdated formats that no longer match how people live. Wip™ is here to change that. Our products offer modern consumers a new way to access energy : easy-to-use pouches, crafted with premium, functional ingredients, at a lower cost. We are building a brand and product platform that expands the category and reshapes habits.

This is not an iteration. It is a redefinition.

Our Team

Wip is on a mission to build a once-in-a-generation energy brand, and we are rapidly assembling the team to do it. We are creators, operators, and builders who move fast, think boldly, and operate with high standards. We work across functions - R&D, brand, sales, operations, people, and more - to create something new and enduring.

If you want to shape a company and a category, we want to meet you.

THE ROLE

Wip is seeking a strategic, analytical, and collaborative Director of Sales Strategy and Operations to lead the development and execution of our sales strategy, planning, operations, and business intelligence efforts.
