Organizational Qualifications

The ideal candidate for any role within our team needs to align to the values by exemplifying WÁOO (pronounced WOW!) in the way that they lead. 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: Welcoming, Ámbitious, Optimistic, On with the butter!

• WELCOMING - 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.
• AMBITIOUS - We have big dreams. We are eager, brave, passionate and love to punch above our weight. We compete in one of the most competitive categories in the consumer-packaged goods retail landscape and we are a small and mighty team. We are seeking individuals who are smart, entrepreneurial, and energized by charging toward a common goal to join our team.
• OPTIMISTIC - We are a glass half full company. The products home country 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.
• ON WITH THE BUTTER! - Put simply we do not like to dilly-dally. We connect dots, move, and then move on. There is a phrase from our country 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.
