We will naturally be assessing for the wáoo factor (i.e., did they wáoo you and will they wáoo others?) Here’s how we describe it : W elcoming, Á mbitious, O ptimistic, O n with the butter!
W ELCOMING Food is one of the greatest connectors we have as humans. In the English language the word companion, in Spanish the word companero, in Italian the word compagno, and in French the word copain all come from the Latin meaning with whom one eats bread.
We love this because we are a provisions company, and we value and embrace how food brings us together. So, it’s only natural that we look for talent that is hospitable and welcoming, treating and accepting others in a way that is consistent with the culture at IP.

We are seeking individuals who are smart, entrepreneurial, and energized by charging toward a common goal to join our team.
O PTIMISTIC We are a glass half full company. Iceland is regarded as one of the happiest countries on earth despite being dark for much of the year.
We are looking for individuals who are focused on the upside, shy away from negativity, and know how to persevere no matter what the circumstances are.
O N WITH THE BUTTER! Put simply we do not like to dilly-dally. We connect dots, move, and then move on. There is an Icelandic phrase that is used to encourage people to get on with it called áfram með smjörið which literally translates as get on with the butter.
We are seeking individuals who know how to make informed decisions and then quickly action them.
YOU’RE AN IDEAL CANDIDATE IF
- You think working in a fast paced, ever changing, entrepreneurial environment is exciting
- You believe there is always a better way. You ask lots of questions, actively seek the opinions of others and love working collaboratively
- You are a Swiss Army Knife of talents and are comfortable with the often fluid, changing environment of a startup and want to make a positive and lasting impact

- You have strong analytical skills balanced with a great sense of logic and pragmatism when it comes to problem solving
- You are self-aware, you pay attention to organizational dynamics, and you are comfortable pacing how you influence and drive organizational change
- You are both a doer and an optimist
