Austin, Minn

The iconic nut brand is now accepting applications from college graduates for a once-in-a-lifetime job opportunity driving MR. PEANUT® across the country in the iconic NUTmobile

If seeing the country while cruising along in a one-of-a-kind, world-famous peanut on wheels has been on your bucket list, now is your chance to make it happen! For those wanting a crack at their next nutty adventure, the PLANTERS® brand has the perfect gig.

The makers of the PLANTERS® brand are looking for three Peanutters to chauffeur MR. PEANUT® from coast to coast in the iconic NUTmobile vehicle, a 26-foot-long peanut on wheels, while “shellebrating” the communities they visit.

“Since bringing the PLANTERS® brand into the Hormel Foods family in 2021, we’ve been looking forward to carrying on the tradition of hiring Peanutters to represent the PLANTERS® brand across the country,” said Yemi Gilland, associate brand manager for the PLANTERS® brand. “This is our second class of Peanutters, and we are excited to keep the NUTmobile rolling along throughout the United States as we visit our fans in their hometowns.”

The Peanutter position is a full-time, paid, one-year job opportunity from June 2023 through June 2024. The nuts and bolts of the job include:

  • Representing the PLANTERS® brand in media interviews and appearances with local radio, television and digital publications.
  • Delighting fans across the country at local community events.
  • Engaging in consumer interactions and ensuring all attendees and onlookers have a nutty time and a positive brand experience with the NUTmobile vehicle and MR. PEANUT®.
  • Joining in volunteer projects to work alongside and recognize people who give back to their communities in a big way.

For those who would go nuts to be a part of the newest class of Peanutters, here are the criteria:

  • College graduate with a bachelor’s degree, preferably in communications, marketing, advertising, public relations or a related field.
  • Desire to travel, an appetite for adventure and proficiency in nut puns is a must.
