Leading up to the 2010 Lima municipal election, Olivares was one of the founders of the Decentralist Social Force Party, which led Susana Villarán to be elected Mayor of Lima. During Villarán's administration, Olivares served as the Municipality's Communications Advisor.[citation needed]

Upon leaving his advertisement agency, Olivares was hired by the Pedro Pablo Kuczynski administration as a communications advisor to Prime Minister of Peru, Fernando Zavala, and subsequently as Secretary of Social Communication from August to December 2017.[3] In October 2017, he was appointed as a Board Member of Editora Perú (El Peruano) in representation of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, a position he held until his resignation in December 2017.[4]
