Applications to drive Oscar Meyer's most on-theme vehicle are now open.

Recent college grads are invited to apply through Saturday, Jan. 31 to be part of the American meat and cold cut producer's next class of Hotdoggers, a "one-year, full-time adventure," Oscar Meyer said in a Dec. 8 press release.

Established in 1988, the Hotdogger Program was created to mentor young talent and prepare future leaders who "embody innovation, creativity and community spirit," the brand said.

"The relished position offers fans the opportunity to become official spokespeople of the brand while living out its mission of sparking smiles across the country," Oscar Meyer added.

Here's what to know about the gig.

What does a 'Hotdogger' do?

Each person that forms part of Oscar Meyer's 39th cohort of Hotdoggers is expected to drive and maintain the "27-foot-long hot dog on wheels" over the course of a year-long cross-country road trip.

Hotdoggers will also double as brand ambassadors, attending hundreds of events annually and developing custom content — all while visiting "upwards of 30 states" on behalf of Oscar Meyer.

According to a job posting from the Kraft Heinz Company, Hotdogger Program participants will earn a base salary of $35,600, with a weekly allowance of $150 for meals and personal travel.

Additional resources include a full health benefits package, 18 days of paid time off and 100% of hotel expenses covered.

How to apply

Only 12 superfans will be selected to join Oscar Meyer's 39th class of Hotdoggers and usher in the Wienermobile's 90th anniversary.

According to Oscar Mayer, ideal applicants have strong communication skills and a bachelor’s degree, preferably in public relations, journalism, communications, advertising or marketing. A love of hot dog puns is also preferred.

Interested parties can apply for the position Kraft Heinz Career Page and follow the journey on social media, mainly Instagram and TikTok.
