Who Are We?

Irresistible Foods Group (IFG) was established in September 2021 as the parent company to King's Hawaiian, Grillo's Pickles, Shaka Tea, King's Hawaiian Restaurants, and Innovation Bakers. IFG is 100% family-owned-and-operated and is committed to authentically stewarding Irresistible brands into the future as the Taira family has with King's Hawaiian for more than 70 years.

Our mission and purpose is: "We create Irresistibility. Then we share it". We believe in irresistibility not just in our products, but in our values, 'ohana (family), and roots. We believe the core of our irresistibility is our values:

• Treat others with dignity - respect is unconditional. We have high-performance heads + high-performance hearts and never lose sight that we are all part of the same 'Ohana.
• Be curious and never stop learning. We approach conversations, situations, and problems with open minds and passionately seek to be better tomorrow than we are today.
• Dream big and get stuff done. Irresistibility is not an accident - we don't wait for the future to come to us; we actively create it.
• Bring your own flavor. We care about where you come from and how you see the world; our shared values are our bond, but our uniqueness is what makes us Irresistible.

These values are not only what drive us but also what we seek in all members at all levels in IFG as well as our operating companies (OPCOS).

IFG is not a private equity or venture capital firm. We are owner-friendly investors and/or acquirers focused on creating long-term value for our brands with no intent to ever sell the company. We support our OPCOS with capital allocation (cash & capabilities), strategic guidance, and operational governance. It is through this commitment to continuously create value that we strive to be the most trusted, influential, and value-creating family of authentic food & beverage brands. These brands are beloved by their consumers for their irresistible products and are uniquely connected through their shared values and sold in the perimeter (of grocery stores).

Who Are You?

You are an authentic, passionate, problem solver who is highly motivated to support a team who will value and appreciate your work. You are a thinker, a solver and someone on whom the team depends, not just an assistant who follows directions. Your associates trust you and would use words like: "dependable", "collaborative", and "creative" to describe you. You model behaviors and activities that set a standard for those around you. You care much more about getting the right things done than about who gets the credit for doing them. You are a "get stuff done" person who gets things done so fast, efficiently, and effectively that it usually surprises those around you.

This role is right for you if you....

• Love to learn and are INTENSELY curious. Many of the activities in IFG are about building capabilities that we or the OPCOS don't have but need to create and sustain. If you are not an intensely curious person who thrives on new learnings, this is not the role for you.

• Have the ability to self-manage and deal with ambiguity. While you will be directly reporting to the Executive Coordinator, you will be supporting a team of Strategy & New Ventures Directors. If you need detailed directions and absolute clarity on every task and priority, this might not be the position for you. But if you like to solve problems and figure out new "best practices", this might be right for you.
• Find value and validation in supporting others. You will be providing critical support to the entire IFG team, taking on tasks that allow the Directors and President to maximize their productivity in support of the growth of the company.
• Like to have fun. REALLY like to have fun at work and find much of the fun is from accomplishing really unusual, tough things.

What You Will Do:

The IFG Administrative Assistant will provide a range of support services to individual members of the Strategy & New Ventures team, as well as to the IFG Executive Coordinator.

Reporting to the Executive Coordinator, primary responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Scheduling and calendar management for SNV Directors.
• Manage all logistics for meetings for SNV Directors and for larger IFG Team meetings.
• Arrange for special mailings to VIPs, guests, and others.
• Order samples and coordinate tasting sessions.
• Manage expense reports for SNV Directors as requested.
• Assist with special event planning (receptions, conferences, business meetings).
• Assist with meeting preparation including food, catering, special needs, etc.
• Complete or assist projects as assigned.

Experience and Capabilities

• Superior Emotional Intelligence
• Proven ability to think through situations and problems resulting in solutions.
• Personal Values aligned with IFG Core Values.
• 2+ years' experience in roles with similar responsibilities above with demonstrated levels of responsibility.
• Bachelor's Degree from an accredited 4-year college or equivalent relevant experience.
• 2 years' experience managing complex projects and schedules in a highly dynamic and fluid environment with multiple stakeholders.
• Proficient ability in MS Office Suite (Outlook, Word, Excel) and collaboration platforms (Zoom, Teams).
• Expert collaboration and communication skills with the ability to form deep and trusted relationships, across different companies and functions.

Must be able to work in office setting minimum of 4 days a week, and ability to work efficiently and productively from remote locations.
