The company is hiring a "Peanutter" -- a one-year brand ambassador position that pays $45,000 plus benefits and travel expenses.

In a nutshell, responsibilities include planning and executing over 200 events annually, pitching local media, managing social media accounts, and other duties.

But the most important part of the job is making sure consumers have a nutty experience.

The NUTmobile, the first iteration of which was built in 1935 by a Planters brand salesman, currently has multiple stops planned throughout Florida in January. Vehicle features include six seats with customized embroidery, smart technology with a GPS navigational system, a rear camera and a bar for serving salty snacks.

Aspiring Peanutters must have a bachelor's degree, preferably in sales, marketing, journalism, public relations, or communications, as well as a valid driver's license in order to serve as Mr. Peanut's chauffeur.
