You’ll have to pucker up if you want to land this $1,000-an-hour gig.
New York-based pet health and nutrition company Spot & Tango is looking for two contractors to sniff dog breath and accept dog kisses for a price. The subscription brand posted job listings on its careers website for a dog breath sniffer and a dog kisser this week, and the qualifications are plenty.
Each gig lists a starting pay of up to $1,000 an hour, but you’ll need to jump through a few hoops first.
The company’s ideal breath sniffer is someone who “can detect even the faintest hint of funk,” according to the job description. A strong sense of smell and a love for dogs are must-haves.
“We need someone brave, bold, and nosy (literally) to get up close and personal with NYC’s finest canines,” the ad says.
Close-up breath assessments will come from canine focus groups and you’ll need to keep detailed notes. They want to know: Is there a “hint of tuna? Eau de garbage? Delightfully neutral?”
As for the ideal dog kisser, Spot & Tango asks that you hit New York City parks and “meet the pups, receive the kisses, and report back.”
“Think of yourself as a one-person focus group for canine confidence,” the ad says.
The prospective smoocher will accept kisses, rate and document each interaction, scout and recruit dog ambassadors throughout the city and feed insights back to the team. Zero fear of dog breath is required, along with a face that dogs “instinctively want to lick.”
Both jobs promise plenty of pup time, competitive compensation and killer merch.
They’re also looking for a supply chain associate, but that job requires a college degree.
A spokesperson for the company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
