After launching its vegan menu this year, Papa John's is aiming to increase its plant-based offering by hiring a Chief Vegan Officer (CVO) to help expand its vegan selection in 2020.

The CVO will be responsible for helping to develop hard to resist vegan dishes that will satisfy the taste buds of both veggie-lovers and meat-eaters alike.

The successful candidate will be tasked with taste-testing the exciting offerings yet to be released, including the new buffalo cauliflower wings, as well as helping to expand the vegan menu in the new year.

The part-time position is eight to 10 hours per month for six months (January to June 2020), paying £6,000 circa (£100 to £125 per hour).
