Executive Assistant

Larkspur, CA/American Canyon, CA

Since 1935, we've been on a mission to bring a little extra happiness to everyday life and inspire connections over food. We select the finest ingredients the world has to offer, craft premium products made with love, and never settle for shortcuts. We believe that when we share our food, we share a part of ourselves — and that's the only way we'd put our name on it.

Today, our small family company has grown into a national leader in specialty olives, peppers, and sauces under the leadership of CEO Jeff Mezzetta, and our commitment to quality has never wavered. With an 80-year legacy behind us and a bright future ahead, we're seeking passionate, driven candidates to help us bring our cherished family traditions to a new generation.

Mezzetta is searching for an experienced, energetic Executive Assistant to assume high-level ownership of office responsibilities, while also providing administrative support to members of the company's Leadership Team (LT).
