Lululemon CEO job listing requires fluency in Sanskrit and a vote for Pedro

GlobalPost

After the hasty departure of its CEO, yoga clothing company Lululemon is looking for a new boss.

They're not exactly looking for the corporate suit and tie-type.

For starters, you need to be able to hold a headstand for at least 10 minutes and vote for Pedro.

Here are a few more of the rather stringent criteria:

- You communicate powerfully, often through Sanskrit
- You’re a long-term thinker. You already have a plan to bring yoga and luon to Mars by 2018
- You break all the rules like getting your OM-on (loudly) whenever the urge arises
- You elevate and cultivate the level of talent within the senior leadership team by holding The Bachelor lululemon. Only one successful SVP will get the final rose
- Not only do you lead the organization to create components for people to live long, healthy and fun lives, you know the secret to how they got the caramel in the Caramilk bar
- You wear The Mansy to lead our company-wide morning chant and kombucha ritual

Lululemon's difficult criteria may border on whimsical but the need for a new leader is genuine.

After five years with the company CEO Christine Day announced she was stepping down last week.

Though the job listing doesn't say how much the CEO makes, the $7-billion Canadian retailer definitely pays well.

Day made over $4 million per year.

Her rapid departure was met with controversy as the Chairman and founder of the company  Dennis "Chip" Wilson sold $50 million worth of company stock four days before the shares dropped after Day announced her departure.

Though the move was considered kosher, Wilson seemingly benefitted greatly from the decline of his own company.

I guess the new criteria forgot to include putting up with Chip.
