Job description
WiFi Tribe is a community of 950 remote professionals from 62 nationalities. For the last 5 years, we have been traveling the world together with our members, living in a different city every month. On weekdays, we work remotely side-by-side, and on the weekends, we go on trips and adventures together.
Due to the COVID pandemic, the interest in what we do has exploded. We’re now expanding our team and looking for talented people to take on the world with us as Chapter Hosts.
A WiFi Tribe Chapter Host is our version of a community leader. As a Host, you will be traveling the world with 20 other WiFi Tribe members and be in charge of the experience.
NOTE: This is a paid job and all travel costs are covered.
WHY DOES WIFI TRIBE EXIST?
We’re humans. We need connection and to feel that we belong.
We’ve evolved and survived as tribes and communities. But now, with billions of people living in mega cities and lonely one-person apartments, we’re more disconnected than we ever were. We’ve traded comfort, success, and belongings for what really matters; human connection. Oh, and, where has our sense of adventure and discovery gone?!
You’re reading this because you’re a person who derives meaning and energy from being around other great people. You’re a people person! You know this, because you’ve been told so often by others that you’re just… good with people. And, I’m going to bet that you love a good adventure.
Maybe, you’re in a moment of transition in your life, where you’re asking yourself: “What matters to me? What do I want more of in my life? What do I want my life to look like? And what do I need to change to get it there?”
At WiFi Tribe, we believe that a rich, fulfilling life boils down to three things:
- a collection of wonderful experiences
- deep, meaningful relationships, and
- the sense of purpose we find when we are making a real difference in other people’s lives.
WHAT DOES A CHAPTER HOST DO?
Our Chapter Hosts are the most important members of our team. Everyone else on the team is here to support you in making the magic happen!
As a Chapter Host, your mission is to foster a tight-knit community and curate a mind-expanding experience that bonds people together for life.
Challenge accepted?
Ok, here’s how it will go down… You’ll be traveling the world with 20 other freelancers, entrepreneurs, and remote professionals, living and working together from a new city every month. Yes, you’ll be responsible for the logistics of setting up a new destination, but that’s the easy part… You’ll find the ultimate match to your people skills and your natural leadership in the moments where you need to bring this group of 20 together and foster a real sense of community, wherever in the world we go.
As a Chapter Host, you are both the community architect and the community builder. You are a silent leader who empowers others to become active contributors and leaders – an engineer of human dynamics. You’re a champion for the culture WiFi Tribe has carefully fostered over the last five years.
And when necessary, you step up to ensure that the experience is safe for everyone. You’re the person in charge if anything needs to get resolved, and the on-the-ground liaison with the landlord/property owner. And don’t worry, the rest of the WiFi Tribe team has got your back – we’re here to help you make the magic happen every step of the way!
IS THIS THE RIGHT ROLE FOR YOU?
Our application process takes a lot of time and effort and we’ve had 500 applicants in our last round of applications. So, out of respect to your time, we want to help you self-assess whether you are exactly the kind of person we’re looking for…
- You’re a people person. Your friends and colleagues always tell you that you’re really good with people!
- You connect deeply. You derive meaning and energy from being around other human beings.
- You’re a community builder. You naturally bring groups of people together around events, experiences, shared interests or ideas. You build a community around you by empowering people to contribute.
- You can ‘feel’ the room. You’re aware of how everyone is feeling and you always make sure that everyone is involved and having a good time.
- You’re curious about how it works. You’re excited to learn how WiFi Tribe fosters that strong culture that has helped us build the most tight-knit community in this space.
- Helping others gives you purpose. The idea of creating meaningful experiences that have a positive impact on other people’s lives excites you. You love seeing people come out of their shells and grow.
In short, your superpowers are all about people.
If every single one of these felt like it was describing who you are, we really hope you apply!
THIS IS A CAREER ACCELERATOR – HOW SO?
Think of it as a practical, hands-on masters degree in community architecting and social dynamics engineering… that you’re getting paid for. We’ll provide all the training for you to:
- become skilled at navigating group dynamics
- develop public speaking skills
- sharpen your natural leadership skills
- hone your organisational skills
- hone your team/people management skills
- become a skilled communicator
- become skilled at managing uncertain or challenging situations
- put your emotional intelligence to the test and make it your greatest asset going forward (in work and life)
Of course, it’s on you to make the most of this opportunity, but just by being a leader within this community, you will be exposed to a constant stream of opportunities. You’ll be surrounded by successful remote professionals, freelancers and entrepreneurs who will happily take the time to sit down with you and share their hard-earned wisdom and their unique perspectives. Take this chance to:
- sharpen your business acumen
- take a peek into any career you’re curious about
- find out more about an industry
- build a personal network of friends all over the world, who all work remotely and happen to be experts in their fields
HOW WILL I GROW AS A PERSON?
- Gain perspective as you meet new people and immerse yourself into the world’s many cultures.
- Escape the 9-to-5 cubicle and refocus on what truly matters: human connection, adventure, nature, self-discovery, growth, purpose, and just gratitude for life and all it has to offer.
- Do work that matters. You WILL change people’s lives (you’ll be responsible for engagements, marriages, kids, best friends for life, a new-found feeling of belonging, self-discovery, big career changes, and a life filled with memories).
- Become a better version of yourself. Let go of your ego and find yourself putting other people’s needs first.
- Challenge yourself to do something uncomfortable. This experience will shape you and prepare you for all sort of situations in life.
- Learn any work or life skill from a fellow member of the community.
- Learn from and grow with a great team that cares about you (as corny as it sounds, the team is family!)
“My growth and internal capacity as a human being has skyrocketed. I am surrounded everyday by people who are inspiring and passionate whilst retaining their humility. This community has shown me where I need to grow but also it has shown me the ways I already shine.”- Amanda (Chapter Host & Community Architect)
IS THIS A TRAVEL JOB?
Yes and no. It’s really ALL about community. But yes, as a Host, you will be traveling a lot and you’ll be surrounded by people who are just as curious and excited about the world as you are. So, of course, this role is also about:
bringing more adventure into your life (escape the cubicle!)
experiencing more of those small moments that life is all about (the sunsets, cozy dinners, more time in nature, exploring the streets of an unknown place with a new-found friend…)
maybe learning a new language
being on a never-ending journey of growth with a bunch of curious, passionate and quietly successful humans by your side
maybe meeting a future business parter or the person who will open the door to your next big opportunity
making friends for life all around the world
filling your life with memories and experiences, instead of material things
and, of course, seeing the world while you’re still young and full of energy!
Ideally, 2+ years experience with leading/managing in-person communities
You’re currently either already working remotely part-time, or you’re ready to find an additional part-time remote job (this is a part-time contractor role, so we won’t be able to cover your full-time income needs)
You’re a confident international traveller
You must be able to travel worldwide. Unfortunately, this means that this role is only possible for someone who holds a passport that allows them to easily travel to most countries
Ideally, a Spanish speaker
