Last week, the Mississauga, Ontario-based company posted a job listing for what it describes as the world’s first chief candy officer. The selected candidate will be responsible for taste testing approximately 3,500 products each month, conducting company board meetings and approving new candy inventory with the “CCO seal of approval,” according to the LinkedIn post. That’s a lot of candy: about 113 pieces a day, nearly five times the recommended daily amount of sugar, according to dietary guidelines issued by the U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services. Fortunately, the listing says the successful candidate will have “extended dental coverage.” Job requirements are minimal: You must be at least 5 years old, live in North America, and have an “obvious” love of sugar. The listing says that parents can apply for their children and that the CCO will undergo extensive palate training to certify their “golden taste buds” before they are assigned the Candy Funhouse stock selection. “Like the love of sweets — the position is not bound by age,” the listing says. “All you need is a passion for sweets, pop culture and a sweet tooth.” The CCO will be able to work from home or in person in Newark, New Jersey or Toronto, Canada. They’ll have the option to work a regular 40-hour week, unless they’re under 18, in which case the position will be adjusted to fit their schedule, Candy Funhouse CEO Jamal Hejazi tells CNBC Make It. The position has no end date. If a 5-year-old is selected, he could potentially hold the CCO title for his entire life. Hejazi admits it would be “a bit chaotic” to have a young person leading board meetings, but he sees it as an opportunity for creativity. “We think a child’s unbiased opinion and creative imagination would be a huge asset to Candy Funhouse,” he says. “They would get the idea for ideas, campaigns and inspiration for new projects.” The job listing says applicants must be “natural leaders” and have “enthusiasm and a willingness to try pastry products.” You don’t necessarily need taste testing experience to submit a resume and cover letter, but an interest in media is a bonus. This media interest may have something to do with Candy Funhouse’s presence on TikTok: The company has 2.8 million followers on the platform, so the potential CCO may have plenty of social media exposure. The company also appears to be hiring social media personalities, with pay of up to $24 an hour. The CCO will be paid $100,000 in either US dollars or Canadian dollars, depending on where they live, according to Hejazi. The application deadline is August 31st.
