You’ll have the opportunity to work with the McCormick Kitchens team to develop innovative and delish taco recipes, travel across the country in search of the latest taco trends, dialogue with other like-minded taco connoisseurs across social media, and be in on the latest Street Taco seasoning mixes developed by the McCormick innovation lab."

If you're wondering what a Director of Taco Relations gig even pays, it's time to get even more excited, because you'll be able to afford all the extra guacamole with this salary.

"Must be able to work remotely up to 20 hours a week from September-December 2021. Payment is $25,000 per month not to exceed $100,000," the site says but doesn't make clear if occasional Maryland headquarters trips will be necessary.

Fowler doesn't believe trips to Hunt Valley, Maryland, if required at all, should pose a threat to potential hires. "Some might argue that moving to Maryland isn’t worth it. I respectfully submit that we’ve all done worse for less than $25k a month," she says, adding that time, space, and motion are of lesser importance when it comes to the pursuit of the perfect taco.

You’ll advise and collaborate with the McCormick Creative and Social teams on how to creatively celebrate taco-themed moments, such as National Taco Day, National Margarita Day, and make sure nobody ever misses a Taco Tuesday. You’ll additionally develop engaging taco content for social media to help taco lovers across the country answer hard-hitting taco questions, such as, ‘Which are better, hard shell or soft shell?’, ‘Is there a way to turn any dish into a taco?’, ‘How taco spice flavors can be used to outside of a taco?” and ‘What does the future of tacos look like?’"

According to the McCormick entry page, submissions must include a video that is no longer than two minutes in length that showcases your personality and passion for tacos. One additional supplemental set of materials may be submitted, like a combined cover letter and resume, via a single Word or PDF file.
