You can get paid $110,000 to become a 'pizza influencer' in NYC
- Slice, which handles online orders for pizza shops, is hiring a full-time pizza influencer.
- The salaried position pays up to six figures and is eligible for benefits.
A online pizza platform is looking for a full-time influencer for its marketing team, and is offering tasty pay and pizza perks too.
Slice is an app that connects local pizzerias to customers who prefer ordering online. It's searching for a pizza influencer who will become the "'face' of the company" on its social media accounts for a salary of $85,000 to $110,000, per the job posting.
The successful applicant will be tasked with shooting, editing, and appearing in videos for social media and get a weekly stipend to help pay for the pizza-related content.
The application process includes submitting a video resume, and a 45-minute presentation and mock pitch. Although New York City is the preferred location, Slice is accepting applicants in other major US cities.
Matthew Kobach, the company's marketing VP, told Insider the ideal candidate is someone who can make "pizza synonymous with Slice."
It's a pizza lover's "dream job" according to reactions on X (formerly known as Twitter). Although it's a full-time role with benefits and a 401k, Slice's pizza influencer will be eligible to take deals from other brands on a case-by-case basis, Kobach said.
Since joining Slice, he set out to find fun ways to relate to potential customers and increase brand awareness.
"Social media should be fun and entertaining," Kobach said. "If you make it essentially glorified ads, no one is going to watch them, and your organic social media is really going to serve no purpose."
Kobach estimates there have been thousands of applications since the job was first posted. He says no big online following is needed to apply.
