Now, Papa John’s UK is planning ahead and taking the trend one step further by <a href="https://www.livekindly.co/papa-johns-hiring-chief-vegan-officer/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=heres-why-papa-johns-is-hiring-a-new-cvo-chief-vegan-officer-2711461" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">recruiting a Chief Vegan Officer</a>.

Clearly, <a href="https://1851franchise.com/beyond-meat-s-revenue-increases-by-a-whopping-486-in-2019-2710617">the plant-based movement isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.&nbsp;</a>According to Papa John’s, the ideal CVO candidate will possess a food technology background, a genuine passion for vegan food and trends, a Food Science degree or similar, and excellent communication skills. In addition, they will be a 'curious self-starter' and ideally, have been eating a plant-based diet for at least 18 months.Think you’re the right one for the job?
