Job Description
Looking to join a growing startup on a mission to change drinking culture

About Heaps Normal
Were normalising mindful drinking by brewing beer that tastes so good you wont miss the alcohol. Were not here to talk about being sober or hold that up as the end goal. Whether youre taking a night off or ditching the booze for life we reckon its time to talk about something more interesting. Whether thats having a good time a good chat and a good drink. Were the weirdos redefining normal for the better and celebrating people who do the same.
Heaps Normal is an independent nonalcoholic Australian beer company brewing real beer without the hangover. As a B Corp certified business were proud to be part of a global community using business as a force for good.
Our values
Shout the first round: Give first and be a good human. We dont wait to be asked. We go out of our way to do whats right for our team our community and our environment.
Return the empties: We never walk past a problem. Whether its a spot fire or a raging inferno we run towards the fire.
Build each other up: We look after ourselves and look out for our mates. This means investing in people always putting family first and elevating those we interact with.
