About the Role

You naturally create an environment where everyone feels welcome and included. You seek to understand before making judgements. You're known for keeping a pulse on the people around you and regulating your own energy to be high/low energy as needed for the group.

You pay attention to the little details and make others feel special.

You’re passionate about creating life-changing, transformative experiences for others. You love travel and learning more about other cultures and places.

You don’t mind wearing multiple hats in the work you do. Whether it’s operational work that has you organizing and planning on the computer or spending hours talking to people to understand them, you thrive.
