The company will supply the CGO and a guest of their choice with travel and lodging throughout the course of the two-week cross-country trip, according to the official job description for the position. The 2018 and first official CGO, Kari Blanks, visited Nashville and Memphis in Tennessee, Kansas City in Missouri, as well as Dallas and Austin in Texas, on her two-week excursion, according to the company's website.
A representative for Reynold's Wrap told INSIDER that, while the list of cities this year's CGO will visit has not yet been solidified, some potential destinations include Louisville, Kentucky; Chicago, Illinois; Austin, Texas; St. Louis, Missouri; Charleston, South Carolina; and Memphis, Tennessee.
The representative also told us some of the attributes Reynold's Wrap is looking for in its next CGO.
"Basically what we're really looking for are people who have a passion for American BBQ, a little bit of wanderlust, and aren't afraid of getting their fingers and face a little saucy while they eat," the Reynold's Wrap representative said.
In order to be considered for the job, the company says all you have to do is email careers@ReynoldsWrapCGO.com with a photo of you grilling your favorite recipe along with 100 words to say why you're the best fit for the position. Applications will close on Wednesday, June 19, at 12 a.m. CT.
