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.

"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."

  • 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:

  • Recent college graduate with a bachelor's degree, preferably in communications, marketing, advertising, public relations or a related field.
