Who We Are

Freestyle Snacks is a good-for-you snack food company seeking to revolutionize snacking on delicious whole foods. Our first product line includes premium olive snacks, where we have reimagined olives as we know them. Our olive snack products expertly combine delicious marinated olives from Greece with convenient, liquid-free packaging to give olive lovers all of the taste with none of the hassle.

At Freestyle, we are a small but mighty team of passionate people committed to providing consumers with the freedom to snack. Innovation and product quality are at the forefront of what we do, and these pillars have led to rapid success. Freestyle Snacks is available in over 2,700 retail stores including Whole Foods, 7-11, Total Wine, and airport stores and has quickly become a category best seller on Amazon. We are on track to grow our sales by 2.5x YoY. We are expanding our alternative channels in parallel, with airlines, airports, hotels, and corporate partners. The options for our growth are limitless, and we are seeking a rockstar individual to lead our supply chain operations and scale for success.

We are looking to add someone to our team who is highly motivated, detail-oriented, ready to get their hands dirty, and succeeds in a high growth environment. The Operations Associate needs to simultaneously be a strong leader and a doer.

As a company we have several core values. We embrace empathy—with our teammates, customers, consumers, and vendors. We follow through as we treat our words as our actions. We believe in continuous improvement and strive to be just 1% better each day. We encourage communication to be open and often.
