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 think working in a fast paced, ever changing, entrepreneurial environment is exciting
