What Is A Chief Candy Officer?
According to the job description, the Chief Candy Officer (CCO) appears to have a great deal of responsibility.
First, the CCO will have the task of approving all candy in the company’s inventory, so lots of rigorous taste-testing will be required — of about 3,500 products a month. The CCO will be responsible for deciding whether each treat earns the official “CCO Stamp of Approval.”
In addition, the Chief Candy Officer will lead candy board meetings and be in charge of all things fun.
You can work from home, but you also have the option to work out of the company’s Toronto, Canada, office (for Canadian residents) or Newark, New Jersey, office (for American residents).
What Are The Job Requirements?
The company is looking for someone with “golden taste buds” and an apparent sweet tooth. That said, Candy Funhouse will provide extensive palate training.
Potential candidates must be enthusiastic and eager to try new things and provide honest opinions. In addition, they should be bold and creative with leadership abilities and always ready for some fun.
Oh, and there is a minimum age requirement. The CCO must be at least 5 years old. Parents can apply on behalf of their children.
“Here at Candy Funhouse we’re all about FUN, and who better to set our FUNhouse strategy than someone that is a real candy fanatic,” Jamal Hejazi, CEO of Candy Funhouse, said in a statement. “Whoever lands this position better be ready for the ride of their lives, and to have chocolate flowing through their veins. I’m thrilled for all the candy adventures we have planned!”
The job comes with an “extensive dental plan,” too.
All sugared up and ready to apply? Don’t take your sweet time to do it; USA Today reports that so far, more than 100,000 candidates have put their hats in the ring. Head to the online application and submit the completed form by Aug. 31.
