OVERVIEW
As the company continues to grow, Icelandic Provisions seeks to hire a Senior Project Manager to reduce the time-to-market and increase commercial success for new product introductions. The Manager is responsible for developing & updating project timelines, maintaining consolidated project budgets and bringing together cross-functional teams whenever cross-departmental decisions need to be made. The ideal candidate embraces project management as a way of life and has worked in project management for at least 5 years, ideally in the CPG or food industry. This role reports to the President & COO and is located at company headquarters in New York City (or work-from-home).
At Icelandic Provisions, everything we do is inspired and guided by the Nordic food philosophy to create products that are as wholesome as they are delicious. Icelandic Provisions is committed to creating food that is:
‘Boring’ is not an ingredient in the Icelandic Provisions’ culture nor product. They make food that is interesting or helps illuminate an ingredient or technique that not many know about.
Committed to making products that are necessary and not capricious. Staples, not nice-to-haves. Things that you will want to have on-hand at all times.
Strive always to be mindful of the direct and indirect impact that food and its production has on consumers and the world.
Make every nutrient count. Try to pack as much nutrition as possible into every gram.
We are proud of our company culture, which can be summarized as follows:
This is Icelandic for “On with the butter!” We are a 20/80-type of culture: focus on the essential task, then move on to the next one. Don’t create extraneous work for the sake of extraneous work but go above and beyond.
We are a provisions company and we value and embrace how food brings us together. It’s only natural that being hospitable, welcoming everyone and treating & accepting everyone as an equal is a big part of our culture.
We have big dreams. We are eager, brave, passionate and love to punch above our weight.
We are a glass half full company. We are focused on the upside and shy away from negativity. It’s what helps us persevere no matter what.
