A Love for Adventure Travel:We are the Adventure specialists and we only hire CEOs who have a genuine passion for travelling to vibrant, exciting areas of the world.Our CEOs come from very diverse backgrounds, but this is one thing that they all have in common. Previous experience living, travelling, studying or working abroad is an essential requirement for this position.

This helps ensure we maintain excellent relations between the company, the people we meet and work with in the field and the travellers on our trips.

Awareness of and Commitment to Sustainable Tourism: Our CEOs need to be committed to environmentally and culturally responsible tourism, and be an inspiring example to the travelers.

Good Health and High Energy Level:It may seem obvious but we need CEOs who can always handle the daily stresses, both mental and physical, of long and tiring days. Be it a 13-hour bus ride, a long day's trek with a difficult group of travellers, or an included rafting adventure, you need to be the friendly, happy, helpful face of G Adventures.

First Aid/CPR Certification: CEOs must be prepared to act in case of emergency. Standard First Aid Certification and CPR are required at the start of a contract to ensure your ability to assist with injuries, illness, or emergency in remote locations.

Transportation to your training location: It is the CEO's responsibility to get him or herself to the starting point of the training trip.

Background in basic accounting/budgeting:Experience working with budgets or developing a personal budget is an asset.

Computer literacy:A working knowledge of the Internet, E-mail, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Excel is essential.
