About the role

Let's go on an adventure together! Hey there, we're G Adventures. We're one of the world's leading small group travel companies, and we've always believed that travel isn't just about where you go - it's about how it changes you. For the last 35 years, we've set out to do things differently. No cookie-cutter tours. No giant buses or cruise ships. And not to mention, as few selfie sticks as possible. Just real humans, travelling your heart out across the world with open minds and a non-stop desire to make our planet better, simply by exploring it. At G Adventures, our DNA (or GNA, if you will) is built on belonging - where bringing your authentic self to work every day isn't just accepted, it's downright celebrated. For our office crew - you wanna rock a t-shirt with your dog's face on it? We say go for it. For our Chief Experience Officers - you wanna hit the road and call some of the most epic places on Earth your home office? We love that - and we've got you. Wanna spend your days with people you genuinely like? Us too - and we're pretty sure you'll fit right in, wherever that is. Now about that career of yours - this is the kind of place where you can spread your wings and truly grow into your role. The best part? You get to do it all alongside a passionate, freakishly talented, one-of-a-kind bunch excited to produce top-notch work and spread a ridiculous amount of goodness at the same time. Feel like this could be the right fit? We think so too, and we're already way too excited to meet you.
