The successful applicant, who must be over 18 and have 12 months on their passport, will have an “outgoing personality, love to travel and is across all the latest social trends” and enjoy documenting the experiences.

Ms Corkery said the first element of the position that grabbed her attention was the amount of travel involved in the role.

“[Travel] is a big focus of it,” she explained.

“That is all paid for, and I think that makes it a really unique role. It’s like a once in lifetime opportunity … you never hear companies hiring roles like is.”

“$100k and that doesn’t even include all the travel, so the role is very appealing and for what you have to do that’s not a bad deal at all.”

It is understood more than 600 applicants have thrown their hat into the ring for the position, with that figure ballooning each day.

The income of $100,000 falls just short of Australia’s highest average earning bracket, with

Canstar data in September revealing men aged 35 to 54 are Australia’s highest earners with an average salary of $103,955.

Close behind are men aged 45 to 54, who bring home an average salary of $101,400.

Meanwhile, women in the same age brackets take home just $83,200 and $85,800 on average respectively — or a difference of $20,755 and $15,600.
