Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada Tripshepherd Full time

Immersive Experience Designer & Script Curator

About Us

At Tripshepherd, we believe travel is more than an itinerary—it's an opportunity for deep human connection, cultural respect, and community enrichment. Our platform empowers local creators (Tripshepherds) to publish and deliver immersive, story-driven experiences that bring genuine value to both travelers and the destinations they visit.

The Opportunity

We're searching for an Immersive Experience Designer & Script Curator who can merge theatrical flair with community-focused travel. You'll be building narrative 'blueprints' that transform local tours into genuine cultural performances, all while ensuring travelers positively impact the places they explore.

Creative Responsibilities
  • Create scripted outlines for immersive tours or activities—multisensory engagement, comedic/dramatic beats, reflection moments.
  • Collaborate with local hosts to adapt each script to their culture and environment, ensuring authentic experiences.
Host Collaboration & Coaching
  • Develop playbooks, tutorial videos, or LMS modules that teach hosts to effectively 'perform' the experience, from the opening monologue to closing reflections.
  • Provide real-time feedback to keep each experience thematically consistent and culturally respectful.
Quality Control & Iteration
  • Track NPS, traveler reviews, and social shares to evaluate each experience's impact.
  • Continuously refine the design, ensuring experiences remain fresh, dynamic, and beneficial to local communities.
Process & Toolkit Building
  • Create scalable frameworks to quickly launch new experiences—arcs, pacing, comedic vs. educational elements—so expansions in new destinations maintain consistent quality.
Future Growth & Impact
  • As you succeed, help onboard additional designers, codify best practices, and shape the broader Tripshepherd experience library.
  • Advocate for responsible, impactful tourism practices in everything you create, ensuring that travelers engage deeply with local cultures rather than just 'consume' them.
Why You'll Love This Role
  • Mission-Driven Creativity: You're not just making 'tours'—you're shaping experiences that uplift local hosts, inspire travelers, and champion ethical, community-based tourism.
  • Endless Variety: Today, you might be mapping a comedic city walk with hidden comedic bits; tomorrow, a meditative mountain trek that ends in a cultural ceremony.
  • Scope for Innovation: We value your theatrical background, live event production, or immersive design expertise. You'll have the creative runway to experiment with new formats and storytelling styles.
  • Growth Potential: Start hands-on; eventually build a team that spans multiple countries, each experience reflecting Tripshepherd's core principles of authenticity and mutual respect.
Ideal Background
  • Immersive Theater / Live Entertainment – (e.g., Sleep No More–style productions, theatrical direction, or site-specific shows).
  • Themed Entertainment / Interactive Exhibits – (Disney Imagineering, museum curation, escape rooms, brand pop-up activations).
  • Event Production & Gamified Experiences – (festivals, puzzle hunts, city-wide AR games).
  • Strong Scriptwriting & Storytelling – You know how to craft a narrative arc that enthralls an audience while respecting local nuances.
  • Collaboration & Adaptability – Excited to work with local guides, customizing experiences for cultural authenticity without losing narrative punch.
