By Michael Grothaus

Are you looking for a temporary job that pays an average of $277.75 per hour? And do you love games? Then Mattel has the position for you. 

The toy brand has launched a campaign to find its next employee: a Chief Uno Player. The role is temporary, but it does come with a great pay package. You’ll earn $4,444 per week for working four hours a day, four days per week for four weeks. That’s a total of $17,776 for a month’s work.

The Chief Uno Player will be responsible for promoting a new version of the classic Uno game, called Uno Quatro, on social media. As the job description states, “We’re looking for someone who’s just as passionate about throwing down a Draw 4 as they are engaging strangers in a game. Someone who knows how to play a reverse and likes to get WILD (in a nice-ish way). Is that you?”

Duties include:

 
    Being able to work from New York City.

    Your work schedule will be 2-6 p.m. ET from September 13-16, 20-23, 27-30, and October 4-7.

    Being comfortable doing live appearances and interviews.

    Starring in livestreams where you play Uno Quatro against brand creators.

    Creating various social media content for Uno games.

If you’re game, the only way you can apply for the role is via TikTok by posting a video answering four questions about your history of playing Uno. But don’t dally. You must upload your video by August 10 at 11:59 PST or it’s game over.
