Want to experience the magic of scaling a fast-growing business, whilst making a huge positive impact on the world? Join one of Australia's most successful purpose-led start-ups

Why join the Skipper team?

At Skipper, our mission is to make zero-waste easy and accessible to all; and to turn everyday habits into a force for good.

How? Through our innovative products that eliminate plastic waste and reduce emissions from everyday items we consume at home.

Our suite of "just-add-water" products have taken the Australian and North American markets by storm. Since launching our first product, a zero-waste hand soap in Jan 2021, we achieved multi-million dollar revenues and profitability within 18 months. We've since hit 8-figure revenues, raised capital from a world-class venture fund, and collected over 100 tonnes of plastic waste. Today, we are actively preventing thousands of plastic bottles from being purchased every single day.

In short, we're a fast-growing business making a serious splash

In 2024, we did the unthinkable. We changed everything. We rebranded our business from Tirtyl to Skipper, and changed the look and feel of all of our products. Despite our success as Tirtyl, we made these changes to unlock new possibilities in the pursuit to build a truly world-class brand.

Now equipped with stronger brand foundations and better-than-ever products, we're looking to unlock the next stage of audacious growth. To achieve our goals, we need the most ambitious talent. That's where you come in…
