We look forward to having you join us in our exciting mission to conquer the world and turn the human race into flesh batteries to power our giant marketing robots. With your help, we’ll eventually ensure that all beverages will become Liquid Death. But just because you work for Liquid Death, it doesn’t mean you’ll be spared from the rest of humanity. However, if you do a great job, instead of turning you into a warm gooey power source, we may allow you to become one of our pets.
About the Job:
There are late stage startups who would be happy to have just our merchandise business. That’s because we believe it is more than just selling t-shirts and hats. At Liquid Death, merchandise is the best possible advertising we could hope for. It’s people that believe in our brand so much they want to show the world they are part of a very special group of likeminded people. Or maybe just folks with immaculate taste (It doesn’t hurt that what we produce is dope AF.) Who else would take Tony Hawk’s blood to screen print skateboards? For Liquid Death, merchandise is serious business. That’s why we want the best people on our team. Maybe that’s you.
