In search of the best Texas tacos, Favor is looking for a Chief Taco Officer for the summer. The job pays US$10,000 with plenty of perks to boot. Here’s a quick look at the position, a day in the life of a taco executive, the benefits package and how to apply.

CTO compensation

So, what’s in it for the new Favor CTO? The CTO will receive US$10,000 for the “duration” of the role, listed as June to July on the application page. Other listed perks include free food, accommodations and transportation as well as free Favor delivery for one year, “customized” company swag and the “summer experience of a lifetime.”

A portion of the job application page describes the candidate they are looking for, stating that the ideal candidate is “passionate about food and not shy about eating on camera or sharing their dining experiences with the world,” while noting that previous food critic experience is not required for the position. The compensation package will also include “wellness activities galore.”

A day in the life of a Chief Taco Officer

For clarity on the two-month taco touring residency of sorts, the FAQ page details a day in the life of the company’s Chief Taco Officer, noting that the CTO will spend 48 hours in each city where they can “can visit the sights, shop, meet up with friends” and “whatever” the person likes, noting that the company only asks that the person has Favor-provided taco delivery from a “variety of restaurants” during “at least two meal times” throughout the stay in each location.

The CTO will also need to review these taco tourism experiences with photos, journal entries and videos to share with the company and disseminate across social media channels.

During what the company described as the CTO’s “search for the very best tacos,” the taco executive will drive from city to city across the Lone Star State. The page states that potential candidates should “think of this as a travel journal documenting [their] trip.”

How to apply

The company’s CTO job application place provides a few steps potential candidates will need to complete to apply for the position. This starts with creating a short video detailing “why [a candidate] should be Favor’s Chief Taco Officer and why [they are] excited about the opportunity,” the page states.

Next, applicants will need to post this video on TikTok or Instagram reels using a public account while tagging @Favor and using the #FavorDreamJob hashtag. The third step involves completing the application form and providing a link to the short video recorded in step one. The full CTO application page can be found in the organizer’s website. The deadline to apply is May 12.
