The job post says that Chick-fil-A is set to launch a "PLAY entertainment app" that will include scripted and non-scripted programming, such as podcasts, game shows, reality programs, and original animation.
"We are looking to produce original entertainment – entertainment not necessarily about Chick-fil-A products or the Chick-fil-A brand -- but rather, content that accomplishes the following: Connection: provide families a good reason to gather; Care: fuel moments of kindness & optimism; Community: facilitate conversation, activity & life beyond the screen," the company wrote.
The position requires five to six years of experience as a showrunner, principal creative producer, or head writer for scripted podcasts, scripted live-action, reality, game shows, or animated series.
