To celebrate National Vegan Day, pizza chain Papa John’s is hiring a Chief Vegan Officer.
It’s another unique new job that probably wouldn’t have existed five years ago. Like being a jet-setting Instagram-scout or stay-at-home pudding tester.
The part-time gig is suited to a vegan who ‘has all the cauli-power’ and tasting prowess to help the company devise their new vegan menu for 2020.
‘We’re looking for someone who’s extremely passionate about food with a firm knowledge of veganism. If you think you’ve got what it takes, we’d love to hear from you,’ said Papa John’s Marketing Director, Giles Codd.
‘2019 has been a huge year for plant-based food and gone are the days where vegans and veggies are limited to a couple of disappointing side dishes.’
The vegan officer will be paid a competitive salary to inform the chain of all the must-know vegan trends, reporting to the Head of Research and Development at Papa John’s.
The new staff member will be expected to work 8-10 hours a month between January – June 2020. The pay is £100-£125 per hour, so that’s about £6,000 all up.
Applicants should have a background in food technology, with a degree in food science. They should be able to communicate their ideas effectively, have been a vegan for the last 18 months and have a knack for removing ‘an avocado stone in under 60 seconds’.
The chosen vegan will help design vegan dishes that will appeal to both carnivores and veggie-lovers alike.
The chain jumped on the plant-based bandwagon this year with their first vegan pizza. Today, they officially rolled out their Buffalo Cauliflower Wings.
As part of National Vegan Day, Papa John’s is offering 50% off their vegan range this weekend.
From Monday November 4, Papa John’s customers can also enjoy ‘Meat-free Monday’ and order meat-free pizzas for just £9.99 when a side is purchased.
To apply, aspiring vegan officers can apply on Indeed.co.uk and LinkedIn, or send CVs to papajohns@wcommunications.co.uk along with a cover letter explaining why they’re the right fit for the role.
