Dream job alert: Wendy’s is looking to hire a “chief tasting officer”—and the role pays $100,000.

The fast-food company launched a contest to find the perfect person for the unique job. The new CTO will create content and taste-test Wendy’s food on camera. 

Wendy’s is known for its humorous approach to marketing and branding.

The job ad is no exception. The contest website reads: “Do you hate your job? Are you too iconic to be opening PDFs for your boss? Ever been told you’re a personality hire? Do you care more about bacon than bottom lines? Are you more about JBC than KPI?” 

Want to try your luck at landing the coveted role? Here’s what you need to know. 

What the chief tasting officer role entails 

Wendy’s chief tasting officer will be tasked with creating content and appearing in promotional videos.

While not an offer of full-time employment, the role is real. One grand prize winner will have the opportunity to become Wendy’s chief tasting officer. 

Claire's went from tween mall icon to bankrupt — twice?
