🥜 Analyzing and recommending strategies based on events and social media trends
🥜 Monitoring and tracking news coverage for the NUTmobile
🥜 Engaging with many consumers throughout the year to make sure they have a positive experience
🥜 Fostering relationships with social media influencers
🥜 Planning and posting 3-5x a week for social media accounts
🥜 Performing in character by donning the MR. PEANUT costume
🥜 Managing logistical planning, hotel and parking, vehicle maintenance
🥜 and more!

Qualifications for the Job and Time Frame

We already mentioned a bachelor’s degree and a valid driver’s license but you’ll also need these qualifications to be considered for the role:

  • Be a team player (you’ll be working closely with others!)
  • Strong organization and time management skills
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills (you’ll be interacting with both corporate and regular consumers)
  • Be proactive and comfortable with making decisions (events can always change!)
  • Enthusiasm for travel since you’ll be on the road 100% of the time
  • Ability to work when necessary, which can include weekends, nights, and holidays

This role is ideal for recent college graduates or anyone excited to travel across America as a spokesperson for PLANTERS! You can check out their current schedule to see if the NUTmobile is in your area to get a firsthand experience.

If selected, the position runs from June 2025 to June 2026, with a starting salary of $45,000.

Strong benefits include travel expenses, meal stipends, and importantly, 401(k) with company match, health insurance (dental, vision, prescription drug coverage), life insurance, and paid time off! There’s also tuition reimbursement if you plan on learning on the road.

The application deadline is February 14, 2025, so get crackin’ on submitting your application and video in time!
