Climate Ride is seeking a highly organized, proactive, and people-oriented Experience Specialist to support our amazing trip participants while helping to produce Climate Ride’s line-up of charitable events.

This role sits at the intersection of participant experience, event logistics, fundraising support, and organizational operations. The ideal candidate is an excellent communicator, comfortable juggling multiple projects, and energized by working both behind the scenes and on-site at events. 

The ideal candidate is as comfortable managing logistics at a desk as they are leading a group on a gravel bike.

We are looking for a versatile professional who thrives on variety and enjoys traveling and adventure.
